Patient: Description of condition (onset, main symptoms, hospital visited, etc.): My daughter is less than six weeks old and before she was just waking up in her sleep, scared, and calling out for her mother. The last two times she actually got up on her own without our knowledge. Once, her dad was watching TV in the living room and she sent an alarm clock to her room, he told her to go back to sleep, she came back, and the next day she didn’t remember any of it. The second time, we slept in the same room, but she slept in her own crib next to the big bed, and I didn’t know when she got up without the light on and said, “Where’s the light?” I hurriedly called out to her, she agreed, I carried her to bed, and she immediately fell asleep and didn’t remember a thing the next day. She is usually very timid, and she would never dare to get up without the light on. Is this sleepwalking? Do I need to seek medical attention? Wang Hongbin, Department of Pediatrics, Hefei First People’s Hospital: According to your description, the child is consistent with “sleepwalking”. The main causes of sleepwalking may include genetic factors, immature neurophysiological development, anxiety and nervousness and other psychological factors. If the attack is not frequent, generally no big deal, as the age, most can be self-healing. When children appear sleepwalking, no need to make a fuss, promptly guide the child to bed to sleep, to avoid bumps and falls. If you have recurring episodes, you can go to the hospital for a face-to-face consultation.
