Night Terrors/Sleepwalking


Posted by rattle on March 06, 1999 at 22:32:07:

My 2 1/2 year old daughter has had one episode of sleepwalking and a couple episodes of waking in the night and crying/saying she's scared. She comes and lies on me and is fine but every time I try and move her (when she falls back asleep)she starts crying/screaming again. Is this night terrors? There has also been one incidence of apparent sleepwalking. Are these related? How many times should I let it go on before I go to the doctor?
