Any help for me for my sleep walking child ?

Question

I don't really know what to do ! I remove the door keys at night so she can't escape but several times now she's wondered off downstairs whilst I'm asleep and I don't hear her ! she's been down last night and it looks like she tried to make coffee ! she came down whilst I was awake too she walked downstairs and sat at the bottom had a wee and went back to bed , she peed all over herself and the floor I didn't realise at first untill I went to check on her and stood in a puddle of pee ! she also wonders to the downstairs toilet pees on the floor and then gos back to bed ! but there's a toilet upstairs so I don't understand why she's coming down and peeing on the floor it's right next to her room , I ask her about it and she has no memory of doing it or me taking her clothes off and cleaning her up afterwards last night ! I've no experience with sleep walking so I really don't know what to do ? I don't want her to hurt herself in the process whilst I'm asleep ?

Answer

Yeah I would get an alarm for her door.  They use them alot in nursing homes.  Is she over tired or stressed?

Answer

Can't u put window chims on the back of her door so u can hear her when she on the move x

Answer

I used to sleep walk, I once even showered, my mom woke me up and I just started crying, I was so scared everytime I woke up somewhere else that wasnt my bed, I couldnt remember a thing, I was 9 years old by then, it got better with time, you have to talk to your child and let her understand what happens, it helped me a lot, and when I woke up it wasnt so bad, a time after that it just stopped. 
Now that I'm grown up when Im stressed I sometimes sleepwalk, I've  noticed it because some things arent where they are supposed to be, but its not usual at all to happen now, so if Im under tons of stress I just try to take a tea before going to bed and relax. It helps, so maybe it would be good for you to talk to your child, and put an alarm in her door. That should help!

Answer

Did anything happen lately to her? I slept walked when I was little. Doctors say it can be something negative happening around her like loss of a loved one and also bed wetting cause it too. I grew outta it but there is nothing you can do

Answer

Have you got a baby gate you could put up by her bedroom door or top of the stairs..? At least that way you can contain where she's walking.

Answer

It sounds like her mind is just waking her up to pee because its urgent but she obviously isnt fully awake. Its jast another part of her somehow. Im not sure how to explain it properly.
One time when i was a kid i got myself up because i had a blood nose. I walked down the hall to the lounge and my mum saw me with a bloody nose. So she took me back to bed and held a cloth up to my nose and i woke up while i was sitting there. I had no idea that i had done it. 
Have you tried making sure he goes to the loo before bed or maybe even having her wear night time nappies?

Answer

My sister used to sleep walk before I was born and the only things can remember my mom saying the doctor said was to never wake them up yoh can gently guide back to bed .. Supposedly it's common in children but they outgrow it

Answer

Oh and it's only a recent thing for the last 2-3 weeks before that she used to take herself to the toilet and she's 5 years old x
