Strange Child

Are you sure she's actually awake when she does this night time partying? Maybe she's sleep partying, like sleep walking but faaaaaaaaaaaaar noisier!

It is like she transports to a magical land in the middle of the night. No matter how sick or tired she is she has a party! She never cries, even if in pain - just has a ball. Soooooo weird! How odd is that!?!?!?

A little bit odd lol but thats actually quite cute! At least she is happy Poor thing I hope she comes right soon, its so not fun being sick!!  And not for mummy either!

when i was younger - but not as young as elle - i used to sleep walk and talk. apparently i looked ike i was awake and would hold conversations with mum and do things like turn on lights etc.... but i was fast asleep....

I used to sleep walk and talk to the extreme...I once walked out of the house, and up the road and knocked on a neighbours (5 doors up) front door and asked as clear as day "Is my mummy here?"...apparently the neighbour was completely freaked out and took me home. After that my parents put a huge bolt on the front door really high up so I couldnt reach it.
I also used to make phone calls in my sleep and ask similar questions - it must have really freaked people out...a kid ringing in the middle of the night asking where their parents were!!!

*giggle* I know it's not really funny, but the image of Elle throwing a wee party in her bed is kinda cute

I bet it's not that cute in the middle of the night EVERY night tho! Would get kinda old!

Maybe her and Sienna can party together?

So you guys who talk in your sleep...do you seem 100% awake i.e. maintain eye contact, follow instructions and interact in exactly the same way as when you are awake?

Sounds pretty odd to me...are you sure you're not awake and then forgetting about it? How can someone be 100% awake and yet asleep?

i used to have full on conversations with my mum... she remembers it more than i do. i used to turn on lights.. once i had convinced my mum that my sister was missing. definitely not awake tho.

peachy im a BIG sleep talker too, lol and i have let out big BIG secrets to my mum about friends etc when i was a teenager.

dh and my mum & friends said i apear as normal looking around laughing etc dh said he even sometimes says " are you even awake" and ill stare strait at him and scowl and say "of course im awake "
now he laughs that i can scowl in my sleep.
if someone talks to me and im asleep ill just start talking back like normal

i haev a friend who used to get so tired he would fall asleep & then wake. or so we thought. he seemed to have three different personalities that came out (Yes it was weird!) but one personality was comedy & he was hilarious & one of them was serious & the third was GREAT at giving advice!~ i remember sitting with him on a couch asking advice bout a relationship about the guy i was talking to. lol. weird i know, but i was talking to his alter ego. yet in the morning you could ask him & he would knwo absolutely nothing about it! They also walk around & he used to sing songs etc too. There was no way of knowing that he was actually asleep as he would go toilet, get a drink etc, everything normal!

Maybe you should ask your dr about it fiona? They may have an idea how to tell if it's sleep waking or not... Good luck tho!
