We have a sleepwalker

[pfisher]

Amber just came down the stairs grunting and dragging her bedspread behind her. I met her halfway up the stairs and asked her what she was doing. She gave me a little hug then turned around and went back to bed. I laid down next to her and asked her if she was awake and she said yes. I asked her why she was going downstairs and she said because she needed it. That's all she would say was "I needed it." I don't have a clue what that was all about.

She used to have night terrors. Maybe sleepwalking is a progression of that. :dunno:

Does anyone else have experience with a sleepwalking child?

I used to be a sleepwalker when I was little. My mother would describe what I did/what I would look like and it sounds similar to what you experienced with Amber.
She would always calmly say "go to bed" and I'd turn around and go as well :lol:
Apparently, one night I stood at the door of our living room very quietly that no one in the room noticed me for a while and when my sister did, she screamed :lol:

I used to be a sleepwalker. My mom would also just tell me to go back to bed and I would. In high school it got worse and I would actually shower and eat breakfast in the middle of the night.

Kaleb is a sleepwalker. It's very scary to wake up to see a 6 foot 2 "man" walking outside your bedroom door, only to realize it's your sleeping giant of a son :lol:

My brother is a sleep walker, and a sleep stripper :lol: . He has been for as long as I can remember...he never remembers any of it. He also had night terrors...it's been a long time since he's had one of those though, not since I was in elementary I don't think (he's 2 years younger than me).
