[quote=Anonymous]Yes, I'd keep records and see if it's:
1. when it's hot in his bedroom
2. did he eat dinner later when it happens?  I used to have horrible dreams if I eat a heavy dinner late.
3. when he's in a new environment (hotel, etc?)
4. when he's under stress (test tomorrow, camp is starting soon, school starts soon, going to grandma's to sleep over, finding out tomorrow if he made the team/play, etc) 
5. when he's overtired 
6 .when he goes to bed earlier than usual
7. when he goes to bed later than usual
8. some other pattern

seems like it's not #3 as he does it at home.

I did it when I was a child a LOT (I'd wake up on the floor, thought I'd fallen out of bed but looking back, I had put myself there), there were some times my parents saw me do it at a hotel, and one lovely time my boyfriend woke me up when I was sleepwalking in his bedroom (that was embarrassing) and that's about the last time I know I did it.  My husband doesn't report I do it. Seemed to have stopped when I was about 28-30.

I never went for the doors, though.  I might put a lock on the closet door (that he can easily do when he's awake) to keep him from using the closet as a bathroom.  [/quote]
