Sleepwalking | Overview

What is sleepwalking?

Sleepwalking is a disorder in which a child partly, but not completely, awakens during the night. The child may walk or do other things without any memory of doing so.

Should I worry if my child sleepwalks?

No. Most children who sleepwalk don't have health problems.
