[quote=Anonymous]It happened the first time on Monday night that he slept walked to our bedroom at 11pm. My sleepy husband woke up feeling someone starting at him, and he found 8 year old DS next to bed in master bedroom. He talked to something unclear for a few sentences, hanged out a few minutes on the bed, and he walked back to his bedroom and tucked himself in with door closed. I was in my toddler's room, so I did not find it out till in the morning. I have talked to him in the morning/in the late afternoon if he remembered what happened, and he said he did not remember anything. Today, it happened again, and he woke up leaving his bedroom door at around 11pm. I was downstair, and immediately ran upstairs asking him what's up because I heard the sound that he opened his bedroom door. He looked at me, and he said there is nothing, and he walked back to his bed, tucked himself in and fell asleep in seconds.

DH was awake and told me that I should not have talked or interrupted him. And, he said that DS probably was sleepwalking. Okay, now my question is why suddenly he is sleepwalking on day 2 out of blue? Should I do something wrong that I should not talk or look at or touch him at all? What should I have done instead? Will he walk downstair/open the front door in the dark if light is not on? Do people sleepwalk with eyes open and talk?

DH said that he remembered he had sleepwalking experiences when he was young, and then he outgrew till high school years. Should I blame the gene? I am a bit freaked out now because I have never sleepwalked or seen anyone sleepwalking before. I think DS probably sleepwalked. Should I talk to teacher what happened in school? He has a new homeroom teacher on Monday because previous teacher quitted in school, and I wonder if that triggered something?
