When my ds is falling asleep for naptime he will twitch a little bit but about 10 minutes into his nap he will open his eyes and stare, and his arms and sometimes a leg will stiffen a little bit and when you talk to him or move his hand it is limp and he goes right back to sleep. He did this in the hospital when he was hooked up to the EEG machine and they said that wasn't a seizure but it is very scary too see. I am wondering if he is having a hard time passing into the next phase of sleep.
Do any of your children do strange things when they are falling asleep?
Thanks in advance for your support.
