It's so bizarre. Thankfully, my husband is always diligent about making sure doors are secured and locked and SO FAR she comes straight to one of us. I'm going to try sticking to bed time a little better and putting a nightlight in her room. We'll see! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-sleep-walking#post-2284391 Sun, 06 Sep 2015 07:20:46 +0000 regberadaisy 2284391@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh wow, I'm no expert but that does sound like sleep walking. I've heard that when someone is sleep walking to never try to wake them up. Obviously try to divert if they're hurting themselves. I would double check with your pediatrician. Over tired can definitely bring in episodes. My older brother is a sleepwalker! Make sure all your exterior doors are locked and child proof! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-sleep-walking#post-2284387 Sun, 06 Sep 2015 06:55:46 +0000 jessibear 2284387@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our 2.5 year old daughter typically ends up in our bed sometime after midnight. Usually, she just gets up from her bed and comes in our room and I pick her up to put in our bed and she goes to sleep. No big deal.</p> <p>However, the last couple of nights, she has woken up around 1 AM, walked to our room and then FREAKED OUT when I went to pick her up. She goes rigid, starts to swing her little fists to try and hit whatever is near her and then takes off running into another room of the house. One night, she ran to the kitchen and started demanding breakfast. One night, she just wandered out and sat on the couch. Last night, after running all around and screaming at me, she ended up laying quietly on the couch with my husband. She needed a new diaper but wanted nothing to do with me, so I went back to bed. My husband brought her back in to go to bed after changing her diaper about 5 minutes later. She quickly snuggled up to me, touching my face, and calmly went to sleep.</p> <p>Is she sleep walking? What should we do to avoid the screaming and hitting? She's gone to bed later than normal the past several nights, is that maybe the cause? </p>
