Sleepwalking - worried that she'll hurt herself - any tips?

Dd1 who's 16 is a sleepwalker. Her mind is very active at the moment because of GCSE mocks coming up.

She also appears to have low blood pressure.

Both of these may be genetic - I used to sleep walk/talk/hallucinate around exam times.

Last night she came into our room extremely distreseed.

She'd found herself lying face down in her room with her head and neck at a strange angle after apparently sleepwalking then fainting.

I'll take her to the GP as soon as I can, but wondered if anyone else has experience of this and any solutions?

I'm going to try yoga with her before bedtime to calm down her mind a bit.

Her younger sister who's 12 has also sleepwalked and talked a bit, but not so much.

I'm very worried she really will hurt herself badly and maybe fall downstairs (sometimes we've found her wandering on the landing).

tia.
