I have two boys, my oldest is 12 and my youngest is 9. My oldest son has been diagnosed with ADHD. I have no idea if it has anything to do with the problem. Every since he was about 6 or 7 he has been talking in his sleep and sleep walking. I can never understand anything he says. He gets up in the middle of the night sometimes and will go to the fridge and open it up and just stare, he then shuts it and goes right back to bed, he has gotten up and urinated in a corner ( I am assuming he thought it was the restroom). And he has gotten up and done several more strange things and just goes back to bed like nothing happened and he does not remember doing anything during the night. My youngest son has not been diagnosed with any problems, but he started about 3 months ago. First he got up in the middle of the night and went into the kitchen and turned on the oven light and bent over and was staring into the oven. When I asked him what he was doing he said "nothing", turned the light off and went right back to bed. Then the next time it happened I woke up hearing some kind of noise, when I got into the living room he was standing in front of the door with the dead bolt unlocked and the door was open a bit but the chain was still hooked. He was trying to get the chain off while the door was partially open. I freaked out. I thought someone was at my door in the middle of the night. I raised my voice asking what he was doing and he again said "nothing", turned around and went back to bed. He to never remembered anything. I am really concerned and I have no idea what could be causing this. I now put tape on my locks at night just in case they try to go out. I am concerned because my oldest son seems to have some anger issues that I am trying to get taken care of, and I have read that some sleep walkers can actually do serious harm either to themselves or to someone else without even realizing it. I have no idea how this might be able to be treated. But because of all this I now have trouble sleeping just for the simple fact I have become paranoid of what might happen. If any one has any ideas of how this can be diagnosed or treated please let me know. Yhanks  |
