[QUOTE="Star*, post: 303778, member: 4964"] TM, You did exactly the right thing. Don't ever wake her. I've sleptwalked for years. Some precautions you may want to take if it persists (DF did) is installing extra deadbolts (so I do not drive. haven't yet). I have been found in the car, in the van sleeping. Outside in the yard on a blanket. Under the table. I'll have complete conversations with my Mom, DF or Dude. I've been known to come out to the laundry room and stand at the washer or just walk outside, sit in a chair and fall asleep. When I was in therapy we worked on this in EMDR and while the sleepwalking incidents have not been as frequent EMDR did not rid me of it entirely. I wake in the morning and do not remember a single thing. Therapist told everyone to talk to me normally - but you can wave your hands in front of my eyes and I'm just blank. I do not startle either which I normally do. He said to just guide me back to bed, talking to me as if I were awake and tell me to go back to bed and go back to sleep. FYI. It is a good idea to lock doors - to basements and outdoors with eyehooks or maybe put some type of chime or bell on them so you can hear them for a while. We were told there is no rhyme or reason for sleepwalking and I don't do it more at one time (like stressed) than not. Just a weird thing. Chuckling - I too am...an odd duckie. :winking: [/QUOTE]
