my 13year old daughter shouts and talks most nights in her sleep?

Question

she also sleep walks most nights all over the house any suggestions on how i can stop this,it'sbad enough her tlking all day never mind in her sleep too lol HELP

Answer 1

I had the exact same problem myself. I used to be a terrior for doing things in my sleep and even started beating my sister in my sleep once. What I had to do was put things all around the bed that would wake me up when I stepped on them at night. I put shoes and things but whatever you can think of yourself. Might also be an idea to listen to what she's saying and then eleminate the problem. Also lock the door at night if thats if you can. What I found was that things that happened during the day would stick in my head and cause me to sleep walk and talk so have a thourogh chat about the day with your daughter and it might help her forget about it before she goes to sleep. If all those fail as I got older it stopped happening.

Answer 2

If she is sleep walking it is perfectly normal. Lot's of children talk or walk in their sleep and the only person who loses any sleep is the parents! If she is sleep walking don't wake her up because then it will become a habit but otherwise she should grow out of it until then keep her safe on her night time walks and get her checked out by a doctor if you are really worried.
Good luck!

Answer 3

When I was little I did this too. It was worse in my teens then it died off in my later teenage years. Sadly it returned in my twenties - it comes back at times of stress but has definitely lessened as time has gone by.

Try putting a bell or a wet cloth on her bedroom door handle - the feeling or sound may wake her as she goes to leave the room. There is no truth in the myth that waking a sleepwalker is dangerous, just guide her back to bed if you can.

Also try and ascertain if anything is troubling her - having someone to talk to about any worries may prevent attacks.

Answer 4

I don't know, I think I am a very normal person and My husband tells me I talk all the time at night. And yes, sometimes shout. I think it may be just an offshoot of dreaming. The sleepwalking, however could be dangerous and you should talk to her doctor.

Answer 5

My 13 year old does the same...
I just lock the doors to get out of the house...
he usually ends up crawling in bed with me - closer than his room from where he ends up.
Then I get to put up with his sleep discourse...
it's all good...

I guess what I'm saying is protect against her leaving the house...but let her walk...she'll still sleep.
I think it's a stage...and like any stage - it starts suddenly...and ends.

Answer 6

Get some medical help but I also knew someone who used to talk and walk in her sleep it was only after she had eaten late or what she ate that affected her, worth looking into though.

Answer 7

As long as her dreams are not disturbing her or shes in no danger from sleep walking she will soon grow out of it.I used to sleep walk but grew out of it when I was about 18.

Answer 8

This is something that a professional psychologist will have to look into. He or she will be able to find the route source of the problem, and through counselling will eventually be able to overcome it. Please get her checked out quickly, as sleepwalking can be very dangerous- I know this from experience.

Good luck!

my 27 year old brother does, it's normal in our house. He shouts, leaps up bangs around then goes back to sleep. We have figured its something he eats.

Answer 10

take her to hospital and get an advice of psychiatrists.
