Are night terrors, sleepwalking and nightmares common in ASD?
My son, has awoke during the night, walked all through the house, to the bathroom, used it, and back, jumped up and down, talking, talked with me all while sleepwalking.
He's got terrible sleeping problems, up all night, sleep all day. Sometimes he will just stay up over 30 hours, then sleep too long, only to get back in the day night reversed cycle. It's been this way for years, and I don't know what to do anymore. We've tried melatonin to sleep, and taken the same time each night to regulate it, also benedryl, since he has allergies as well. It's hard to get anything done during the day, or enjoy family trips or outings when he's either too tired, or sleeping, or on a binge wake. Any suggestions? He's 13. This started showing up around 3.
Thanks!
