DS (nearly 9) has just 'woken up' scared, comes downstairs to me, crying and panicking - but he's sleepwalking.
He does this when he goes to bed later than normal. We changed his bedtime last year and he'd do this every night so we changed it back and then he's been fine. Last few weeks he's been later to bed on occasion and will always sleepwalk and recall nothing the next day.
Does anyone have experience of this?
I'm wondering if it's the later to bed that causes as he's more tired or is it because of his rhythm and if he's not fully deep sleep by a certain time in his day he wakes- if that even makes sense. Anyone know anything about this?
