My Six Year Old

I have a 6 year old son who has been sleep walking almost every night.  He sometimes talks in his sleep but most of the time will just wonder in circles mumbling.  His teacher has also told me that he moves in circles in class too and that he seems unaware that he is doing so.  Could  the two be linked and if so what could be causing him to this?  Needless to say I am not getting much sleep either as I am up dealing with him constantly.  He is a very restless sleeper as well.  He has to be close to someone so he always ends up with me in bed.

Sleepwalking is not an uncommon symptom in young children. They usually outgrow it. The main focus needs to be on keeping them safe - so they don't fall down stairs or walk out the door. Also, it is best not to disturb or startle them. When you say he walks in circles, do you mean spinning his body or merely walking in a large diameter?

I am meaning that he literally walks around in circles.  Like in a large diameter.  He does this while awake too.  I have seen him myself and his teacher has noted and made her concerns known to me about it.  He seems completely unaware when he does it.  He just does it.

Assuming he's otherwise doing well in life, there is no association between walking in large circles and anything that I know of, especially in the absence of other symptoms. It couldn't hurt to point it out to him and see what he says.
