It seems to be a common belief that you should

never wake up a sleepwalker

From Wikipedia - Sleepwalking:

There are conflicting viewpoints on whether it is harmful to wake a sleepwalker.

• Some experts say that sleepwalkers should be gently guided back to bed without waking them.

• Others counter that idea and state that waking a sleepwalker may result in their disorientation, but it is not harmful.

My question:

• Does waking a sleepwalker cause any harm?
