That's what we are all here for. To help you when you need it.

What meds (if any),are you on? (If you don't mind my asking).

Just curious.

Now let's talk about somnambulism. Sleepwalking. A favorite topic of mine, only because I did it when I was a child.

Of course I had no memory of it. Only what I put my mother through.

I had to be over the age of 10 because we lived in Canarsie and we moved there when I was 10, and I remember having a conversation with my mother about what happened and the conversation was in the living room of the Canarsie Apartment.

So perhaps I was 11 or so when this happened.

I had watched a monster movie before I went to bed (after this, my mother NEVER let me watch any of this kind of movie).

I got up in the middle of the night and went out the front door (I was wearing a long nightgown). I walked down to the corner.

My mother (hearing the loor lock opening, followed me to the corner. She had once read where you should never shake anyone awake when they are sleepwalking ( I have no idea if this is what you should do, or shouldn't do).

She told me she quietly took my hand, I looked her dead in the face and I said "Mother, where were you, I was looking for you".

She just gently took me back to our apartment and I went to sleep. SHE DID NOT GO TO SLEEP. She watched me all night.

The next night she said she was sitting by my bed and she watched me start to get out of bed. She just gently pushed me back and I never did it again.

Holy Cow, I just remembered all of this. I don't remember the sleepwalking part of it, only what she told me.

She told me she really never slept good after that. She was always worried I'd go down to the corner again.

I never did.

How odd!!!

Anyway, I hope you get some answers.
