Sitting. Awake. In the dark. Weird right?

hahaha scary and funny all at once! I would say she is asleep. My mum said that she would sometimes check on me and i would be sitting up 'awake' in bed. She would just tell me to lie back down and go to sleep - i would and that was that...sleeping 'sitting' i guess! never got out of bed or anything!

This thread, sorry Meercat but LOL to the 'catching a cat in your bin' ...

I reckon it sounds like she is asleep and sitting up, and then with the newest of standing on her bed... that could be that she is thinking about her new skill of being able to walk everywhere in her shoes that light up that she is even doing it in her sleep!

She is still amazing (I am not bias at all being her favourite Aunty - I can write this here where the other Aunties wont see haha!), and not sleep deprived (just you are atm :P) ... hope you dont have to put a lock on the outside of her bedroom door incase she starts to leave her room in her sleep!

I know this sounds horrible, but my mum made me wear grobags (sleeping bags) to bed, so I wouldn't be able to walk too far when sleepwalking! She would always wake up from the "thud" when I fell over, so she could put me straight back to bed. Without the grow bag she wouldn't "hear" me moving through the house, so she couldn't stop me from doing something dangerous. Oh the joys of motherhood, hey?

I too think that she's sleep walking. If she is not blinking when her eyes are open then no doubt she is sleepwalking. I used to do this all the time as a kid, as did my brother. Mum used to gently guide us back to bed and we'd go straight back to sleep. We'd have no idea it was happening. The only time we'd get freaked out was if we got woken up and then we'd cry. Mum said it used to get worse when we were stressed or if something in our lives changed. So my brothers got really bad when we moved from Sydney to Tenterfield. Mum found him out in the middle of our street one night! Not to freak you out He was 7. Ahh, the funny things both my brother and I have done when sleep walking

Anyway, point is, as long as your gentle and she isn't woken it won't bother her at all. Just freak you out

One day my brother (5 at the time) stood in front of my mum's bed with a knife and a fork in his hands and said: "I want to eat you". Creepy much?

Meercat, kids have to learn to be afraid of the dark. If you are a one-year old, there is nothing "spooky" or paranormal about the dark. Little kids don't get freaked by it the way adults do.... Here's hoping she settles down for you
