Peril OF Sleep WaIkers.

The reason many persons walk In
their sleep is because one part Of the
mind Is wide awake when the other
Is asleep. But the curious thing about
sleep walking is just because The
walker is asleep and not conscious. hs
can walk over dangerous spots which
would probably cause him to fal
through nervousness. II he were wide
awake. But as he Is not awake. and
not conscious. he generally walks
safely and remembers nothing about
IT.
So Il is easy to see why II is dan
gerous to awaken sleep walker while
he is walking along a precipice or In
some other dangerous position.
