Sleep walking Maniac sis!

[Zenox]

I have this crazy 11 year old sis,not once has she slept without either talking,
walking around into the bathroom sleeping there or sleeping on the same couch in the salon, once i tried to get her to go back to bed, she hit me like crazy! and yesterday i saw her coming to sleep on the famous couch, i took her place, she saw me there, looked at me, then STARTED BITING THE CRAP OUT OF ME! the next day i told her why did you bite me yesterday? she said what? i didn't bite you, and she's usually sweet when awake, so i figured sleep hitting now?

That IS freaky. Just like those little kids from horror movies. They're all innocent, but scarier than the actual villan-monster. Gawd, Hollywood needs to stop doing that. Or i just not watch movies like that.

Often the best way to deal with a sleepwalker safely is to direct them back to their bed before they injure themselves. However, the person will often keep getting up until they have accomplished the task that has caused them to sleepwalk in the first place. For instance, if a sleepwalker is demonstrating the common behavior of cleaning while sleepwalking, help them, or pretend to help them clean. Often saying things like, "Now we're cleaning. We're almost done. O.K., it looks like you got it all cleaned up now", will help the sleepwalker feel like they have accomplished their task and they can then be led back to bed and will most likely stay there for the rest of the night. As sleepwalkers do not tend to remember anything said or done by them or other individuals while sleepwalking, there is no need to worry about embarrassment to you or the individual by doing and saying such things. The same pattern can be used for dealing with driving, eating, bathing, or any of the other common sleepwalking behaviors listed above.

Note the bold portion. This means that if you want to find out someone's real feelings about you, pretend to sleep walk in front of them. Make sure they've read this article. And then make your "task" to find out whatever it is you want to know. ;)

Zenox, let's swap sisters. Yours sounds like a blahload of fun.

Huh. My brother talks in his sleep, but that's about it.

Although my little sister did once come into my room one Saturday morning, close here eyes, and ask me, "Aren't I asleep?" My other sister was trying to get her to get up, and she didn't want to... But that's not exactly sleep-walking.

Hmm...somnambulism. If your sis is on any drugs (especially psychiatric ones), she should do everything she can to get off them. They're evil things to begin with. If not, she should probably see a shrink if she and her family think it's not in their best interests to allow her to keep this kind of thing up. Anyway, as you noticed you should NOT try to wake them up. People are very tense during REM sleep (the period where they'll sleep walk or sleep talk). There's actually been records of people greivously injuring people in their sleep who tried to wake them up, or surprised them. Other than that, Wikipedia's article has got it right, basically. If it gets out of hand (like, nightly basis, and it disturbs your sister) talk to a psychiatrist. Just don't let him give her any permanent drugs, as they can actually make the problem worse ;) . I hate that.

So, now I've had my little spiel on the only subject I really know anything on, I can be a happy camper for the rest of the day. Thanks. Hope your bite-marks heal and you can learn to deal with your sis's behaviour one way or another :) .
