Hello, My daughter is 5 yrs old and I have noticed that she has been twitching in her sleep for at least a year now. I don't remember her twitching before this time period. She seems to be sound asleep when the twitching occurs. The twitching is noticeable on her feet and hands. When this does occur, it seems to go away for a few seconds and then twitch again. It seems like once it starts it lasts through the night. It is a subtle twitch that is only noticeable if her hands and feet are right next to my body. She usually goes to bed at around 9-10pm, wakes up in the middle of the night, and then goes back to sleep until 7 or 8 am. She sometimes sleep long hours during the day, 3-5 hrs, but I havn't observed her to see if she twitches. She is active and seems pretty normal during the day.
She also complains of nightmares on occasion and gets pretty sweaty at night. Is this something that I need to be concerned about? Will this go away as she gets older?
