More than 60% of children with two sleepwalking parents go on to sleepwalk, a new study says.
Sleepwalking often begins in childhood and ends when people grow up. But sleepwalking may also go on when people grow up. It can also start later in life.
In the new study, Dr. Jacques looked at about 2,000 kids in Canada from 1997 to 1998.
He found that 56% of the children (aged 1.5 to 13 years) had sleep terrors. Younger children were more likely to have sleep terrors. And 29% of kids aged 2.5 to 13 years had sleepwalking.
About 47% of those with one sleepwalking parent went on to be sleepwalkers. And if two parents sleepwalked around at night while sleeping, the odds were about 60% that their child would also sleepwalk.
