Other ways to help minimize sleepwalking episodes:
Have your child relax at bedtime by listening to soft music or relaxation tapes.
Establish a regular sleep and nap schedule and stick to it — both nighttime and wake-up time.
Make your child's bedtime earlier. This can improve excessive sleepiness.
Don't let kids drink a lot in the evening and be sure they go to the bathroom before going to bed. (A full bladder can contribute to sleepwalking.)
Avoid caffeine near bedtime.
Make sure your child's bedroom is quiet, cozy, and conducive to sleeping.
Keep noise to a minimum while kids are trying to sleep (at bedtime and naptime).
