title: Treatment of somnambulism with anticipatory awakening.
abstract: A 8-year-old boy with a 6-year history of parasomnia (twice-weekly sleepwalking with enuresis) was treated by awakening him for 5 nights before the episodes. The sleepwalking stopped entirely. Anticipatory awakening may be a simple, inexpensive, low-risk therapy for somnambulism.
