I have this friend who sleep walks.  Has been known to do all kinds of things,  he used to run around and scream and whatnot.  In recent years has turned into more of just wandering around the house, and he does it much less frequently (due to treatment).  Still, this means no loaded guns accessable for protection.  He would like to have some sort of protection near his bed.   He says a knife or other sharp opject is no good for fear of injuring on it accidentially during on of these walks.  He lives alone and isn't worried about property damage.  Currently he has a "paperwieght" shaped like brass knuckles.  I know there has to be some better options.  Later i thought "stun gun?"  Need more ideas.

Stun Gun, flash bang grenades, CS grenades....

Sorry, but your friend is a hazard and I wouldn't recommend any easily accessible weapon around him.

and baseball bat. I doubt he will smash his face in with a bat while sleep walking. Worst he could do is kill the dog or break a bunch of shit. Maybe Mace also

I would pay sooo much money just to see my best friend waking up in fit because he just blasted himself with mace.......I would say "Hey man......Dont look at me"

Some kind of club, I'd say. Unless he wants a machete that he can put inside a sheath with some kind of toggle holding it closed, that would be difficult to open while asleep.

Machete.  They can get messy but cheap, effective, and since they do not usually cost more than $10 you do not lose anything if it is damaged.
