What is sleepwalking in children?

Sleepwalking is a sleep disorder that occurs when you get up and walk around without being conscious during sleep. You may mutter something while walking or walk avoiding obstacles. During that time, there is no response even if you talk to it, and there is no memory of walking around after waking up. It often occurs in children aged 3 to 8 years old, but why is it often in children?

Sleepwalking occurs during NREM sleep, a deep sleep. During NREM sleep, both the brain and body of adults are completely rested, but children whose brains are developing are thought to be sleepwalking because part of the brain is awakened during NREM sleep. After puberty, it recovers naturally, so even if a child sleepwalks, it is better to watch over it without forcing it.

... Read more夢遊病(睡眠時遊行症)は、子どもにありがちな睡眠障害の一つで、特に3歳から8歳の幼児期に多く見られます。私の周囲でも幼少期に夢遊病を経験した子が何人かいて、親御さんの不安な気持ちをよく聞きました。夢遊病の最も特徴的な点は、本人が目を開けて歩き回るものの、意識がはっきりしていない点です。記憶も残らず、後から本人に話しても「そんなことをしていたなんて知らなかった」と驚くことが多いです。 夢遊病が子どもに多い原因は、脳の発達段階にあります。睡眠にはレム睡眠とノンレム睡眠があり、特にノンレム睡眠は深い休息の時間です。しかし、子どもの脳はまだ未熟で、このノンレム睡眠中に脳の一部だけが起きてしまうことがあります。この部分的な覚醒が歩き回る行動につながっていると考えられています。 対処法としては、無理に起こすのではなく、安全に見守ることが大切です。慌てて起こすと、子どもも大変驚いてしまい、逆に落ち着かなくなることがあります。夜間に事故や怪我が起きないよう、寝室の環境を整えたり、可能ならば夢遊病が起きやすい状況(過度の疲れやストレス)を減らすことも効果的です。また、成長と共に症状が自然に軽減したり消失することが多いので過度な心配は不要です。 睡眠の質を整えるために、規則正しい生活習慣やリラックスできる環境づくりも大事です。私も子どもの夢遊病と向き合った経験があり、夜の入浴や静かな音楽を取り入れたことで、徐々に落ち着いて寝られるようになりました。親御さん自身もストレスを溜めないよう心がけることが、結果的に子どもへの良い影響につながります。 このような理解を深めることで、夢遊病を恐れることなく、子どもの健康な成長を温かく見守ることができます。もし症状が長く続く・悪化するようなら、専門医に相談するのも一つの方法です。夢遊病は決して珍しいものではなく、多くの子どもが通る一時的なプロセスということを知っておきましょう。

Do you know anyone sleepwalkers?
Parents of sleepwalkers can’t have a full night’s sleep. The wonder and the anxiety takes out so many hours of sleep every night, it has to change. Whether you’re looking for a complete solution for your child with sensory challenges, or simply needs answers about how your children are sleeping

I read The Night Guest in one day. It’s so fast paced with some chapters being literally one sentence. It’s psychological horror. Iðunn keeps waking up feeling like she ran a marathon. She’s weak, tired and finds random bruising. Maybe she’s sleepwalking? Her fitness watch is showing way more steps

Your early 20s can really have you out here just… winging life. No plan. Entertaining the wrong people. Overthinking everything. Trying to control it all and still feeling anxious. I had to learn the hard way that a lot of what I was doing wasn’t actually helping me… it was just keeping me
