Our 8 year old has suffered with night terrors for about 2 years. He gets out of bed very upset, he is still sleeping, he turns on lights, yells sometimes, dances around like his feet are on fire and won't let us touch him - when we do he acts like it hurts him. Sometimes he just sleepwalks and we walk him back to his bed but sometimes he is very upset.
Three weeks ago I woke to nurse our one year old and heard rain. It took me a while but I realized it was inside the house. I got up and it was pouring in my master closet, hall bath and laundry room. I ran upstairs and he had gotten out of bed, plugged the tub, turned on the shower and gone back to bed. There was 2 inches of standing water in the upstairs bathroom
We have removed the plug from the tub hoping this will prevent this from happening again but we're not sure what to do about the sleep walking & night terrors
The onset does not correspond with any major life changes and we assumed he would grow out of it but has been 2 years already.
Any suggestions?
