Possible Sleep Walking

LOL!! I'm sorry, but some of the things kids do when they're sleepwalking are just funny ;) My middle child is 6, and she sleep walks. One time we heard bumping around in her room and she was mumbling and trying to climb the t.v. I asked her what she was doing and she said 'I put my finger in the music box'... WHAT?! LOL!!

Poor baby though, being upset, those are the tough nights. You have to remember though, that they really don't remember this stuff. Did she have night terrors as a toddler? My daughter did, which turned into the sleepwalking and talking. I compare the 'emotional' nights to those sleep terror nights... because the nights when she's sad and sleepwalking are no where NEAR as awful as night terrors!! It just puts it in perspective for me, so *I* don't get upset about it.

She's probably still getting used to the new place, subconsciously. I'd mention it to her pediatrician if this persists. Hope it gets better!! :)

Look at the bright side, when she's a teenager she'll never be able to sneak out or lie and get away with it! My husband talks in his sleep, will carry on whole conversations with you, although they're strange, and not remember a thing in the morning.

Yes, my 7 year old son has done this exact same thing!!! He will be up, walking, talking and making absolutely no sense whatsoever. I will walk him back to bed and talk to him a minute or two bc it is amusing to me what comes out of his mouth. But the last time he did this he was so upset about something that was complete nonsense. Poor guy. The next day he did not remember a thing.

My daughter does this stuff too.

The ONLY time mine does this is if she's overtired when she goes to bed. My ex [my dd's father] always did this or as an adult had night terrors because he was over tired when he'd climb into bed.

Their issues were that they'd fight sleep because they were afraid they'd miss something.

Maybe your daughter is excited about the new room and she's actually making herself overtired from learning her new environment.

My daughter is 8.

My favorite was when mine brought her entire top sheet down the stairs, tucked under one arm [and I do the 'hospital corners' on her bed], opened the fridge, stood there, and when I asked her what she was looking for, she mumbled something and turned around walked to the diningroom table, sat down, and started to have a random conversation with me. I, like you just walked her upstairs and I held the sheet so she wouldn't trip on it.

Another time, mine thought she was in the bathroom, but was actually in the hallway next to our bedroom [no where near the bathroom] and was about to pee when my husband [her stepdad] told her calmly that she wasn't in the bathroom. Walked her into the bathroom, let her do her business, and walked her back up to bed.

*ETA*- I agree with sleep walking not being nearly as crazy as night terrors. Adult night terrors are scary for the ones NOT having them!!!!!
