Do only little boys sleepwalk

[Animal]

I'd be really concerned if there's a chance of any sleepwalking kids falling headlong down the staircase.

Interesting topic .. but I think what your boy wants to do is go toilet more than sleepwalk. Try lifing him two or three hours after he goes to bed and sitting him on the toilet .. this should circumvent the piss anywhere topic.

Anyway on sleepwalking ... my dad sleepwalks, my sister talks in her sleep and aparently I do both. so defiantely not a male only thing.

When I'm stressed, or emotionally not quite right, I sleep walk.
I often sleep talk. And I often sleep drum. Yep, you read right. I drum in my sleep.

I have the radio going all night (it helps me get to sleep - something to distract my brain from going off on long thinking journeys, stopping me from sleeping), and I often hear of my parents telling me how I drum along to music etc.

[Something interesting, though not quite on topic] My music teacher was telling us the other day how she watched some doco on a place in the US where most of the residents are deaf, due to the settlers and genetics or something. But the guy who did it is a neurologist and there was something in this doco about a couple of old folk on the deck one afternoon, having a nap. And they were sleep talking (but acting out their dreams as if they were real)...but because they were deaf, they were signing out their dreams. Quite interesting - 'cause sign is their 1st language, it's what they use to sleep 'talk'.

Our eldest girl used to sleepwalk until one night our son, who used to talk in his sleep, yelled at her! Poor little thing just stood in the hallway, confused and I gently led her back to her bed. She didn't sleepwalk after that, (she was about 9), and neither of them remembered it the next morning.

My wife still talks in her sleep at times. When we first got married, I couldn't sleep, I used to stay awake laughing at her! (Umm, yeah...one of the reasons) She was hilarious to listen to!

One night she leaped out of the bed in panic, crying, "Where is he? Where's Michael?" (our then baby son). I said "He's in his cot!" as she was opening the sock drawer and the then the other drawers and looking under the bed!

I finally convinced her to check his bedroom and sure enough, there he was, sound asleep!

Yea, for some reason I have found that males seem to do it more often.

I sleep walked all the time from the ages of about 8 - 14 or so. One time my dear old mother walked in to the lounge after hearing a lot of shrieking and banging and found me with one foot in the bird cage, apparently I was trying to get in with the bird.

I can't say that I did not find this ancedote disconcerting ....
