Oh, you are getting sleep, just not in your bed!! And you are probably in the 2nd and 3rd stages of sleep rather than 4th. Can google the levels of sleep. It is good you are aware of this and need to be further aware to avoid any injury to you or your child with nighttime behaviors. May have to seek medical intervention if this becomes a problem. What can doc do? Help you with a plan to help you get into 4th level of sleep, and this may entail sleep medication. Just play it by ear though…..May also need to set up motion activated camera that indicates the time, to film yourself….
(some sites will refer to 5 stages of sleep, but who really knows. When I learned about them, there were only 4 and it wasn’t all that long ago….and who really knows anything about sleep anyway??? An awake person observing a sleeping person? A person trying to keep notes on themselves while they are actively sleeping? Impossible to really know for sure…….)
