Illnesses can definitely interrupt sleep, and fevers can be very uncomfortable.

Hi Chas,

I've heard of people speaking different languages when they walk in their sleep; my sister used to speak jibberish. Some of the sleepwalking episodes were very creepy.

You may be a great candidate for a sleep study. Sleep Centers.org has a database that allows visitors to search for centers by zip code.

Hi Dawn,

Sleepwalking in children can be frightening, but chances are, she will grow out of it. My sister used to walk in her sleep between the ages of 5 and 12 off and on. Some things to keep in mind:

  • Sleepwalking in children is not caused by emotional problems in most cases.
  • Symptoms of sleepwalking include repeating movements without actually getting out of bed.
  • Remove any potentially dangerous objects that are within your child's reach before bedtime.
  • Make sure doors and windows are locked.
  • Simply guide her back to bed rather than waking her while she's sleepwalking.

These resources may help:

It's very important to see your child's physician about the sleep disorder, too. Hope this helps!

I have a 4 year old daughter and I think she is sleep walking. We have been having issues with her getting out of bed and coming into our bedroom. She comes into my bedroom in the middle of the night and acts like she is awake but as soon as she gets in my bed she immediately falls back to sleep. In the morning she comments that she slept in her bed all night but I have to tell her she didn't. There are times it happens every night and then there are times it doesn't happen at all for days. Has anyone had any experiences with young children sleep walking? I am getting concerned about this. Thank you.
