Sleep walking?....

[poster]

......ok, how many of you have kids that get up at midnight, come into your room and try to talk to you about math problems?

Should I take this as a sign of stress at school and talk to someone about this? She's never done this before - she was totally asleep, her eyes were barely opened and she was just rambling on about not being able to remember what 9+ ?? was. I tried to answer her and she just walked away and said "I can't remember.." and got back in bed.

I could tell you some doosies my daughter did. Eventually she out grew it, but it was fun while it lasted.

My best friends daughter is going through something similar.

Hubby did this when he was younger. Sorry to say he still does it. Not so much the walking part of it any more. But he will get stand up next to the bed and talk to his self, or me if I choose to talk to him. Then lay back down and go back to sleep. The next morning when I ask him about it he doesn't remember.

If it continues and you feel there is something wrong. Talk to her dr. about it. I think it's just something people go through, no rhyme or reason to it.

Just be happy it's nothing to serious. I remember when I was about 11 years old, I had a bunch of people spending the night at my house. My grandpa came walking out of his bedroom naked and was using my grandma as his walker. He walked all the way into the tv room before he woke himself up by stepping on his saggy nuts.

I'm not really worried about her getting up, I know that can be normal.

What worries me is the talking about school. She struggles keeping up as it is.
I don't want her stressing in her sleep about it.

Sounds like a stress thing to me then, wait and see if it happens again though...did she have a test or something that next day by any chance? (how old is she?)

My son woke me up one night by kneeling next to my bed and telling me there was a stranger in his room

I jumped up outta my bed so fast.... luckily he was having a sleep walking dream nightmare

I wake up in the middle of the night all the time to. It is usually caused by wet dreams or I just have to pee real bad.

10-22-2007 01:57 PM shut up, you probably want to know how old he is so that you can molest him

ummm,
1. it was a daughter...not son...

2. I was curious because it seems to me that she would have to be young in order to be worrying about what 9 PLUS something was...a young kid especially shouldn't be worrying about school...they should be...well...being a kid.

That was my thought - 8yr olds should be dreaming of other things.
Also there wasn't a test.

I used to sleep walk when I was a kid.......use to takes tumbles staight down the stairs without getting hurt.......OR waking up!! My most recent sleep walk episode that I did wake up happened about 8-9 years ago, so I think I've grown out of it. lol Both of my daughters have had sleep walking/talking episodes...... wonder if it's hereditary?

i actually used to sleep walk every now and again when i was younger...but as far as i know, i've grown out of that..but there was kind of a funny story a couple months ago when i was at my friend's house and we don't know if it had anything at all to do with me having a little sleep walking episode or nightmare but i woke up...standing up...facing his bed (i was sleeping on the floor) and apparently someone had screamed lol (either him from seeing someone standing at his bed or me in my sleep...we'd found out later that the guitar and stuff had fallen so maybe that scared me in my sleep lol) but the funny part was that i twisted my ankle when i got up apparently...so i managed to twist my ankle in my sleep

I think that it is probably somewhat hereditary though cuz i'm pretty sure my dad used to at least talk in his sleep when he was younger and my sister did too.


but back onto the main idea here...8 years old would probably be an age where they'd be doing multiplication and stuff right? that would mean that addition wouldn't be the first thing they'd be worrying about (probably) unlike if they were a little bit younger. I'd say this was probably a minor little thing and it just so happened that she was talking about math lol. just try to keep an eye on her schoolwork to see how she's doing and help her relax about it.

I used to sleepwalk as a child when I was stressed out. Now my 7 year old does the same thing when she is worried about something. It may not be a major stress, just something that was unresolved in your child's mind. Seems to be the case here at least.

Holy crap! That would have scared the sh** out of me.

My childhood sleep walking involved making food. I would start cooking things and then leave the burners going while I went back to bed.

She's struggling in school and is getting extra math help. School should be somewhat fun, I don't want her to have a complex over math.

I'll just see if she does it again, or any other off the wall stuff.

My son sleepwalked once when he was around 3. We were all asleep and I heard the front door open and close. I got up and my son was standing outside. It's scary to think what if I didn't hear the door. After that happened we put locks up high on all the doors.
