Hi, I’ve just got home from working nightshift. My kids and I and my parents all live together. My parents told me that my 14yo was sleepwalking and left the house at 11.15 last night. We have security camera’s and I got a notification at work and actually saw him go out the front door. We have a bonus cat hanging around lately and I thought he must have been up late and gone out to see the cat before bed. He looked and moved very normally on the camera so I wasn’t alerted to anything wrong. There was a second notification nine minutes later when he came back in where he did look sleepy. He was still at home and ready for school when I got home. Why I asked him if he went for a wander he said he must have been sleepwalking because he woke up at the end of our road near the alleyway when he woke up. Approximately 200m. Just wearing long pyjama pants. He had unlocked two doors. He walked briskly out the front door, down the driveway and broke into a run. He is very fitness conscious. My Dad thinks he was dreaming about training. He has tried to get out of our chalet on holiday at 2am when he was about nine. He had had episodes of what looks like night terrors where I would try to wake him up but he was fully asleep with no recollection in the morning. He has had no trauma that could cause this. He is potentially a bit spectrumy but high functioning. I thought this was related to obstructive sleep apnea. He had his adenoids out and cautery of turbinates about 5 years ago and had no further episodes like this. Until now. This really unnerves me and I feel like key locking the door isn’t enough.He did eat at his friends house last night which was something different but I can’t see it being a causative factor. I thought about getting an alarm mat but then it will alarm for all the normal movement too and alarm fatigue will render the idea futile. Maybe I’ll seek a sleep study. We have a super dodgy drug house halfway down our street. I am so terrified of this happening again. Has anyone else had this problem?
