ds1 used to have awful night terrors but have stopped in recent years. He is now 6 and for the last few months he has been shouting out and yelling and sometimes just talking in his sleep nearly evrynight.
I end up jumping out of bed 3 or 4 times a night sometimes because he sounds distressed and when i go in he is usually sitting up but not really awake, sometimes he looks like he's trying to touch something thats not there if that makes sense!
I am worried that it's because somehing is bothering him maybe, but he seems o.k during the day and says everythings fine.
Help!

don't think you can do anything btu accept he talks in his slep and learn to ignore him

My DS1 does this too. He is 6 as well. According to my mum, I did the same as a young girl so I don't get too worried about it. However, it is a pain getting up a few times a night to a child who is talking jibberish.

Its a really distressing thing to see, but I have got used to it.

But if anyone has any answers I would love to hear them too.

well at least we're not the only ones with this. I was really wondering if it was totally abnormal. Sometimes sounds like he's in a right panic, does your son atomicstockinghanger? ( nice name btw )
