Child waking up and running in a daze Posted: 01-28-08 11:45am
My son is 7 years old and every once in a
while he will wake up towards the begining
of the night, usually within the first
hour or two of going to sleep and will
start running around. His eyes are open,
he seems somewhat aware of his
surroundings and will respond to my
direction but will not speak, acts sort of
in a daze and can't seem to help running
back and forth. It almost looks like he is
in a trance of sorts. Then after a few
minutes he climbs back in bed and doesn't
seem to have any recollection of what just
happened. I don't think it is Night
Terrors because he doesn't seem scared or
if he is, it certainly wouldn't be
described as, "terror", maybe just a
little nervous.
Does anyone have any idea what it could be
or where I can go for further info?

Have you discussed this with your
pediatrician? My daughter would sit up
and act out eating, drinking, combing her
hair, etc. but never ran around. I was a
sleepwalker as a child and as an adult
will occasionally sleepwalk.
