Did you know that waking up a sleepwalker will cause severe shock and even death to the person? Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Well... no, that's not actually true — it's an old wives' tale that still persists despite scientific evidence to the contrary. However, in TV Land, no one has heard this update (and some media predates this myth being busted), and so Hilarity Ensues as everyone else has to dance around whatever bizarre behaviours the sleepwalker exhibits, trying to avoid waking them up. Nine times out of ten, this involves following them around and babysitting them all night long as they wander obliviously into mortal danger over and over again. One would think it would be much less dangerous to just wake them up rather than risk slipping up and letting that crocodile eat them. But nope. It's too dangerous. On the rare occasion where the characters are aware that this myth isn't true, the sleepwalker will usually be a Heavy Sleeper that can't be woken up, so they have to be babysat anyway. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Finally, to add insult to injury, the sleepwalker will almost always end their night of hilarious sleepwalking hijinks by walking right back into their own bed, and then immediately waking up bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, remarking that they had a wonderful night's sleep, as their companion collapses from exhaustion. As the Real Life section below details, while the above adage may be incorrect, it's still generally not a good idea to wake a sleepwalker abruptly, and in certain circumstances the better option is to simply shadow the sleepwalker and ensure they don't injure themselves. Sufferers of night terrors - a variant of sleepwalking categorised by the sufferer essentially experiencing a full-scale fight-or-flight reaction while asleep - have been known to lash out at people attempting to calm them down while screaming or crying hysterically, making this trope especially apropos; don't wake the sleepwalker, or rather, wake them in a way that doesn't increase their somnolent anguish. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })Compare Don't Wake the Sleeper for more general keeping people asleep. Examples: |

Cujo: During the first night they spend at her sisters' house, Charity finds her son Brett sleepwalking. Although she has enough common sense to know that all those horror stories about the dangers of waking up a sleepwalker are just myths, she still can't bring herself to wake him up and instead watches him untill he goes back to bed. She also recalls how she took Brett to the doctor when he was six because of his frequent sleepwalking, and the doctor blamed poorly researched movies for the wrong ideas people still have about sleepwalking. | |

The Eyes of The Dragon: Discussed and averted near the end of the story. During the night Peter attempts his escape, Thomas sleepwalks again and ends up in the secret passage, where he wakes up due to a tower named The Church of the Gods collapsing because of a storm. The narrator points out that in Delain people still believe that waking a sleepwalker before they get back to their bed will cause them to go mad, but Thomas proves this is not the case since he only has a bad scare about waking up in the passage but quickly realizes where he is. | |

In an episode of Lab Rats Leo is sleep walking in one episode and his bionic arm is randomly discharging, causing injuries and building damage. Douglas says not to wake him up because the shock of a sudden awakening could cause the bionics to backfire and possibly kill him. He is eventually workn up by Perry's niece, who simply hits him until he wakes up with no ill effect. | |

In Girls Next Door, Erik advises Sarah not to wake Christine when she finds her sleepwalking toward his room for some late-night music lessons. Sarah dryly informs him that modern science has disproved that notion, then makes him promise to forget the potential trauma and just dump a bucket of cold water on her if he ever finds her sleepwalking toward Jareth's room. | |

Merrie Melodies One short involves a Fox disguising itself as a Guard Dog using this trope to smuggle chickens out, using the real Guard Dog's fear of waking him to his advantage. "The Unbearable Bear", featuring Sniffles the Mouse, involves a policeman chasing a burglar in his own home, but both parties trying to stay quiet because the policeman's wife is sleepwalking. Though it's more because they're both afraid of what she'll do to them if she wakes up. |

Wendy is the one who says they shouldn't wake him up, since it could be a shock for him to wake up miles away from where he was sleeping, so they just try to take him back home. | |

The Simpsons: In an early issue, Springfield goes completely health-crazy, much to Homer's horror. At one point he's caught in the middle of the night trying to quietly eat a cupcake, by Rainier Wolfcastle and his G-Men. Acting quickly, Homer pretends to be sleepwalking (despite the fact he just screamed as they came in the window). It works, because Wolfcastle doesn't want to risk getting sued if Homer has a heart attack. | |

Hilarity Ensues as Tim rushes about trying to stop a sleepwalking Bill (and later Graham) from walking into disaster, including one scene that ends up in the Title Sequence where Bill walks across an exploding minefield. | |

In "Eeyore Sleeps on It" from My Friends Tigger & Pooh, when it's discovered that Eeyore is sleepwalking, Tigger warns Pooh and Darby not to wake him up, saying that it's in the book of things you're not supposed to do. He gives this warning to a couple others who suggest it. Finally, when Porcupine asks why they didn't just wake him up, Tigger asks if nobody other than him has read the book. | |

I Heard That Song Before features a downplayed, more realistic portrayal. It's mentioned that you shouldn't wake a sleepwalker suddenly. As a result, Kay doesn't wake Peter when he sleepwalks, just making certain he doesn't harm himself. Vincent Slater reveals that when he found Peter sleepwalking as a teenager, he was forced to wake him suddenly because he'd wandered to the ski lifts at the resort they were staying at, and Peter attacked him as an unconscious reflex. It's Played for Drama when Peter inadvertently breaks his bail conditions sleepwalking, and when a police officer grabs him he punches and seriously injures him, which is not a great look for his defense. | |

In Secondhand Lions, the warning is more for the safety of the person waking the sleepwalker, than that of the sleepwalker himself. When Walter tries to wake his sleepwalking great-uncle Hub, his other great-uncle Garth pulls Walter's hand back and says, "Don't. Last time I tried to wake him he nearly tore my head off." | |

One Archie comic has Jughead, for some unexplained reason, sleepwalk through almost all of his entire school day. To avoid waking him up, the teachers give all of their students tests. During lunch, Jughead stays asleep but eats the food off of everyone's trays. He eventually wakes up when the school bell rings, suffering from no ill effects. The other students aren't very happy. | |

Also averted in an episode of Hannah Montana. When Miley starts sleepwalking, her friends and brother repeatedly try to wake her up so that she stops, but for the most part she keeps doing it (and when they do succeed in waking her, she's perfectly fine — though she gets into a lot of trouble given that she just badmouthed her teacher in her sleep). At one point, her brother Jackson comments that you're "supposed to wake a sleepwalker gently". | |

The Spongebob Squarepants episode "Don't Wake Patrick" has SpongeBob following a sleepwalking Patrick around Bikini Bottom to try and bring him home. In this case, SpongeBob actually does try to wake him up, but Patrick is a Heavy Sleeper. | |

One episode of Dexter's Laboratory has Dexter's dad wandering into his secret lab which is filled with dangerous machines and experiments. The most amusing part is that his dad claims he is a light sleeper yet all the machinery and lasers don't wake him up — a simple thing like Dexter shutting a door does. Interestingly, this episode has a legitimate justification for Dexter not waking up his dad: He doesn't want him to see his secret laboratory. | |
