Like the title says. Alot. No drugs, no underlaying tension or bad schit. Good kid, smart, healthy. Hung the moon. Curious, as I never did as a kid, but am dealing with it now. Lots of folks on here have or have had kids, and I figured maybe somebody on here has dealt with it. Curious as to what you did and why. Thanks

Really kinda freaky. Acts like he's awake, and if you didn't know any better you wouldn't know. Except the little things. Leaving lights on, incoherent speech, it was kinda funny at first, but I'm wondering now if I need to do something to stop it. IF I can do anything to stop it.

My 20 year old son did it a couple times IIRC. No big deal as long as they don't get hurt. I wouldn't yell at them or scare them!

I used to when I was a kid. I grew out of it. Same here. Parents had to put locks on the doors high enough I couldnt reach them. When it first started, I would unlock the doors and go outside. I remember waking up 1 time outside, mom and dad were at the door watching me, to make sure I didnt get in the road.

make sure you can lock the doors to keep him from getting out of the house. my brother ended up at the neighbors once.

Really spooky. He'll talk to you like he's awake and carry on a conversation, but he's not looking at you at all. We just put him back to bed. He seems to do it when he's overly tired, which doesn't make sense, but who knows.
your flippant remarks which you so adeptly sling

Wife followed him around last night and he jumped when he turned around and saw her and almost took a swing. Would not end well for him, sleeping or not. Very out of character, as in would never dream of it in waking life.

Lots of folks on here have or have had kids, and I figured maybe somebody on here has dealt with it. Curious as to what you did and why. Thanks It's just another sleep disorder. http://www.webmd.com/sleep-disorders/features/5_steps_stopping_sleepwalkerMy Grandma, God rest her soul, was one of those morbid old southern gals who thought nothing of scraing the shixt out of kids. I loved Grandma, but just sayin'... She told this story about some family that lived on the edge of a cliff above some body of water. They had a son who would go out at night, strip down, and dive into the water and swim. The catch was, he didn't know how to swim. Evidently the dad had been observing this and told the mom who waited up and watched him dive off. She screamed, knowing he couldn't swim. It woke him up and he drowned. Grandma told this right after hearing that I'd Sleep Walked. Whether the story is true or allegorical, I have no idea, but like the link says, it can be dangerous.

Very out of character, as in would never dream of it in waking life. No offense, and you can raise your kids however you choose, but "Would not end well for him, sleeping or not"? Gotta say that somebody with a sleep disorder like this, doesn't know what they are doing and aren't responsible for something like that. I think hitting him back would be counter-productive. Again, no offense.

They grow out of it. The key is keeping the locks on the doors high enough they can not get out.

BGG, Connor, my 8 year old, has done it when he's extremely over-tired. He'll actually have a "conversation" that you're not really privy to. It's been a while since it's happened but I generally just pick him up and put him back in bed. Freaked me out the first time.... George

oldest daughter would do it occasionally when she was younger....wierd as hell, she would walk into our bedroom, make some off the wall statement that prolly made sense in her dream and them walk back to her room and go back to bed and she would have no recollection of it.....she will be 18 in a couple months and hasnt done it for the last few years that i know about....

I was looking in his eyes while talking to him and nobody was home. Eeek! I put him back in bed and that was that.

Again, no offense. None taken. All I meant was he'd be woken up, rather quickly. Can't punish kids for things that aren't their fault. I was interjecting a little humor into an otherwise freaky situation. He's 10 not 20.
