Sleeping child

Tweet

I am wondering if any of you have had a similar issue. My 10 year old son has had weird sleep patterns. Not all the time but alot. He talks alot in his sleep, and even sleepwalks sometimes. But the weirdest thing is he sits up in the middle of the night and is still in a deep sleep. but he is sitting straight up. He is not leaning against the wall or anything, he is just sitting cross legged and asleep. Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night and check on him and he is sitting up asleep, and I wonder how long he has been in that position. I keep thinking he will grow out of it. But he has been doing this for years. We had bunk beds for the boys but never could put him up on top. I am worrried that he will fall of on the bottom bunk. He never seems to, weird. I keep thinking that he is not getting the best restful sleep that he can. He wakes up crabby and I know that he is needing more sleep.
