12 year old still headbanging in his sleep

[HeinzSight]

Have been told and read that this is something he should have grown out of by now. Cause for concern?

Apparently I was headbanging for ages when I was a child. One day my parents went and bought me a new mattress and it stopped straightaway. They are convinced it was because my previous mattress was uncomfortable.

After all these years of headbanging, I am a reasonably normal adult (if such thing ever exist) so don't worry too much

thanks needahand There seems to be VERY little info about this in adelescents

Does he do it to get to sleep?
Have you actually observed him doing it?

he seems to generally do it at about 5 / 6 in the morning. I have observed him, it's quite disturbing to see tbh!!

oh ok...it's just that my sister thought her ds was headbanging for many years...turned out to be fits

poor thing
