Weekend Doctor: Sleepwalking

Posted by Staff on June 4, 2022 - 7:22am

By Emily Decker, MD
Primary Care Pediatrics, Nationwide Children’s Hospital

Sleepwalking happens when a child is asleep but does activities such as sitting up, getting out of bed, eating, or even getting dressed. Those activities could last a few seconds to a half hour–and the child will usually never remember they did it. It usually happens within the first couple hours of a child falling asleep.
