Sleepwalking.
My 3 year old has started to sleep walk, it started off with her just sitting up in bed staring but on Saturday she got out of bed opened her bedroom door and walked down the stairs and into the lounge, it did freak me out a bit coz her eyes were wide open but she was just staring straight through me and obviously couldnt hear me, she looked a bit like chucky lol. thing is im a bit worried now that she might hurt herself, what is she had fallen down the stairs? obviously i have started shutting the stair gate to stop her falling now. Has anyone had any experience of this? how do you deal with it or does it just stop on its own??

All you can do is take all danger out of the path putting stairgates everywhere is a good start, you should never try and wake sleepwalker (cant remember why, just remember you shouldnt). our dd used to suffer night terrors when younger and in her cot it just seemed that sleepwalking was a follow on as the night terrors stopped when the walking started
She never had night terrors before just the odd nightmare which is completely different. my eldest daughter had night terrors but never sleep walked. obviously i have children with very active imaginations lol
