Writing in my blog doesn’t mean I know everything. It’s just something that I been wanting to know about, and researched some of it.
I don’t know everything nor got all the answers, but, there was once was a 7 years old girl. One night she was sleepwalking. She was wearing pajamas color navy blue and gold top and bottom. She was sleepwalking while having a bad dream. She didn’t look like she was asleep, having her eyes wide open, acting almost normal. She was freaking out though, stating that number four was after her. Eventually little dove woke up from her sleepwalking bad dream incident.
Per Google, children who sleepwalk happens quite often and is quite normal, but is also considered being a normal sleep disorder. Whats happening is that the brain is partly asleep and partly awake. The child can move around, talk, and act out in a dream even, though they are still sleeping. You could imagine how scary it may have been for the parent seeing their child going through this type of dramatic experience or fear, You think?
But it wasn’t just a bad dream. She was actually having a night terror. Number four chasing her when she was trying to stay away from number 4, from getting close to her. You could just imagine her heart beating fast, producing Fierce signals, being live streamed looking terrified. Sounds silly, a number chasing anyone.
Why number 4 though?
She may have gotten this maybe because the number probably came up in school or in their homework, from a TV show, game, book, or jersey number. Most likely in this case, it may have been that the child was stressed about math, where the brain may have turned anxiety into a chasing scenario
The child did have problems with mathematics in general, growing up.
Statistics show that roughly around 5% to 50% of children will sleep walk (roughly around 3.5 to 10 million children in the US alone (per Google), while night terrors are slightly less common affecting about 1% to 6% of children(per google).
I read that parts of the brain responsible for movement and basic Vision are awake while the other parts are responsible for conscious awareness and memory while remaining in a deep sleep state. The eyes being open is to help the brain navigate the physical environment, even though the child isn’t seeing nor processing information the same way as one does when awake. Most children at times won’t have no memory of the event the next morning (per google)
Triggers of cause may be due to over tiredness, stress, anxiety, fever or illness.
Lastly, the only thing to be cautious about is safely waking up the child: ( like not shaking the child to wake up, per google)
I’m no expert, just reading info, but
Its something to think about 🧑💻
