Encountering their child while sleepwalking is initially an uncanny situation for parents: In the middle of the night, they grope around with their eyes open, possibly talking, but seem not to be aware of their surroundings. The next morning, the child cannot remember the episode. We explain what sleepwalking is all about and how parents respond best.

Every fourth child is affected

Around every fourth child walks around asleep or sits up in bed at night without waking up. Reassuring: Somnambulism is not a disease and mostly disappears during puberty. Children between the ages of five and twelve in particular tend to sleepwalk. It usually occurs one to two hours after falling asleep, as Ulrich Fegeler from the Association of Pediatricians (BVKJ) explains.

Don’t wake sleepwalkers

A typical sign of sleepwalking is when the child has opened their eyes half or fully but hardly seems to register their surroundings. It is difficult to wake up during the state and appears disoriented when it is awake again. Easier forms of sleepwalking include nodding on your pajamas, rubbing your eyes constantly, or talking loudly. The next day there is usually no memory of the nightly activities. “Do not wake your child, because that could frighten them, but lead them gently back to bed,” advises Fegeler.

Where there is a risk of injury

If a child has a tendency to sleepwalk, parents need to look for a safe sleeping environment. “Sleepwalking happens during a phase of deeper sleep, so children don’t really realize where they are and whether something is dangerous,” says the pediatrician.conclusion of to kill a mockingbird To avoid falling, sleepwalkers are not allowed to be accommodated in loft beds. Sharp-edged furniture should be upholstered by parents with foam and items such as toys should be tidied up before going to bed. Safety bars prevent the child from accidentally falling down stairs.

What triggers sleepwalking

“Today, sleep researchers assume that sleepwalkers have a hereditary predisposition for this. In order for them to actually sit up in sleep, talk, repeat certain movements or even go for a walk, triggering factors must also be added. These include irregular sleep times, lack of sleep, stress, and noise or other disturbances during the night, “explains Fegeler.

Drink little before going to sleep

Affected children shouldn’t drink much at dinner, because a full bladder can also lead to waking disorders. If such incidents happen frequently at night, parents should take their child to the pediatrician. In difficult cases, medication may also help, the expert advises.

Five people were injured in an accident on a country road near Saarbrücken. On Saturday lunchtime, a 26-year-old driver fell into a so-called microsleep between Holz and Fischbach and his vehicle hit the opposite lane, as the police announced on Sunday. He drove head-on into the driver’s side of a 54-year-old woman driver. Due to the force of the impact, both cars were thrown into the hard shoulder. The 54-year-old and the 26-year-old were slightly injured. The other vehicle occupants of the woman, a 5 and a 12 year old child and a 76 year old woman were also injured and brought to a hospital for observation.

Falling asleep behind the wheel is a criminal offense. According to the police, criminal proceedings were initiated against the 26-year-old for endangering road traffic and for negligent bodily harm.

A couple was seriously injured in an accident on Saturday on Autobahn 7 near Krogaspe (Rendsburg-Eckernförde district). The 65-year-old car driver and his wife of the same age were heading north with their car, the police announced on Sunday. At Krogaspe the car turned right off the lane and drove sideways onto the noise barrier. The vehicle also damaged the wildlife fence. Eventually it came to a halt in a corn field.

The couple was hospitalized seriously injured. According to the information, the police assume that the driver was sleeping microsleep as the cause of the accident. There was property damage of around 40,000 euros.

After an attack with a wooden hammer on a woman in Langen (Offenbach district), the police are looking for a 51-year-old man. The man is said to have tried last Friday to kill his wife, who was separated from him, in her apartment, as the police and the responsible public prosecutor in Darmstadt announced on Friday. The 51-year-old is therefore suspected of attempted murder.

The woman was reportedly returning to her apartment after taking her children to school and kindergarten. According to the police, the accused ambushed her, attacked her suddenly and hit her on the head several times with a mallet.

According to the police, the woman suffered lacerations, among other things. She was still able to escape screaming into the neighboring apartment. The 33-year-old was in the meantime in the hospital, but was able to leave it again. According to the police, the 51-year-old suspect had already fled when the rescue workers arrived. The investigators are now looking for the man with a photo and a description.

Many people in Germany have had to wait a long time for outdoor pool weather and sunshine – but the German Weather Service (DWD) is currently warning of very high UV radiation. Parents should pay special attention to babies and toddlers.

In many areas, especially in the south and south-west of Germany, the health risk from ultraviolet radiation is classified as “very high” according to the DWD hazard index.

Protective measures are necessary

It is high almost everywhere with the exception of the coastal regions. Protective measures such as headgear, long-sleeved clothing or sunscreen are therefore necessary outdoors, emphasized Gudrun Loschewski from the DWD Center for Medical-Meteorological Research in Freiburg.

The values ​​are “already very high” for May, she said. The UV index is currently around ten percent above the average in many regions – the risk of sunburn is correspondingly high. The blazing sun should therefore be avoided, especially around noon.

Use the afternoon

Loschewski assured us that the recommended precautionary measures were not associated with completely renouncing the sun: “Anyone who goes to the outdoor swimming pool after work at 3 or 4 pm, for example, no longer has to do with such relevant UV values.”

Children in particular are at risk

Almost all parents know that children’s skin reacts particularly strongly to UV radiation from the sun and therefore needs special protection. They react to this and buy special sunscreen with a particularly high sun protection factor. Most people do not know that their children’s eyes also need special protection. Many let the little ones go outdoors with cheap off-the-shelf sunglasses or even without sun protection for their eyes.

This can have fatal and very painful consequences for the children. The pupils dilate so that more harmful UV radiation enters the eye. In the past, extensive sunglasses tests have shown that around 60 percent of children’s glasses do not offer sufficient UV protection. But these in particular must have a particularly high UV filter, such as UV-400. You can recognize good glasses by the “CE” mark.

No direct sun in the first year

Babies in the first year of life should not be exposed to the blazing sun at all. At this tender age, the retina is still very weakly protected from incoming radiation. Around half of the UVB and even around 90 percent of the UVA radiation reach the retina of the little ones.

Sunbeams reflected from sand, water or passing cars can cause a so-called “flashiness”. It manifests itself in a very painful inflammation of the eye and extreme sensitivity to light. A sufficiently large sun hat or sun protection on the stroller can protect babies’ sensitive eyes from harm.

The Paul Ehrlich Institute considers the quantities of flu vaccine to be sufficient at the start of the new influenza season. “We can currently see no shortage of flu vaccine for the influenza season 2020/21 in Germany,” said Klaus Cichutek, President of the Paul Ehrlich Institute (PEI), the German press agency. “We expect manufacturers to provide at least 21 million cans.” 13.6 million cans have already been approved for Germany after batch testing. That’s a normal amount for this time of year.

According to its own information, the Federal Ministry of Health (BMG) ordered a further six million doses, which are to be vaccinated primarily in November and December. A total of 21 million cans were available last season. Most recently, the SPD health politician Karl Lauterbach had warned of delivery bottlenecks for flu vaccinations. “We definitely need an additional vaccine,” said Lauterbach to the editorial network in Germany.

In the corona pandemic, the flu vaccination is particularly recommended for risk groups such as the elderly and the chronically ill. The aim is to avoid superinfection with other dangerous pathogens, but also to keep the number of hospital stays for flu as low as possible. A flu vaccination is also recommended for medical staff in hospitals, nursing and senior facilities and in the healthcare sector, as well as for pregnant women and residents of retirement or nursing homes.

If they all want a vaccination, that would be around 40 million people. For experts, however, this is not a contradiction to the lower vaccine quantities: According to the Berlin Robert Koch Institute, only around a third of the elderly (35 percent) were immunized recently. In people with chronic underlying diseases, it was a fifth to a half. “The experience of the last few years has also shown that the vaccine quantities available in each case were not completely used in the respective season,” said BMG spokesman Sebastian Gülde.

The renovation of the valley bridge near Langen is taking months longer than originally planned. The end of construction of the section of the Autobahn 661 will be postponed into the coming year, as the traffic authority Hessen Mobil announced on Monday in Wiesbaden. Actually, the work on the 212 meter long bridge, on which among other things the roadway and guardrails will be renewed, should be completed in November of this year.

According to Hessen Mobil, corrosion damage to both the steel elements of the bridge and the concrete was found during the construction work. According to a spokesman, the steel elements now have to be laboriously replaced. When exactly the work can be finished has not yet been determined.

According to Hessen Mobil, traffic will run over three lanes until the construction work is complete. There are two lanes in the direction of Frankfurt and one in the opposite direction.

The man from Langen (Offenbach district), who was sought after a wooden hammer attack on his wife, is in custody. The 51-year-old went to the police in Darmstadt on Saturday with a lawyer and was provisionally arrested there, as the police and public prosecutor announced on Monday. According to the prosecutor, a judge ordered the detention center. The man is therefore suspected of attempted murder. He has not yet commented, said a spokesman for the prosecutor.

On Friday, the 51-year-old reportedly tried to kill his wife, who was separated from him, in their apartment. According to this, the woman returned to her apartment after taking her children to school and kindergarten. According to the police, the accused ambushed her and suddenly hit her on the head several times with a wooden mallet. Among other things, she suffered lacerations. The police had meanwhile searched for the fugitive man by name and picture.

Since this month, all five planned vehicles have been on the first German electric highway for overhead line trucks in southern Hesse. More than a year after the start of the project, the hybrid trucks on the A5 between Langen and Weiterstadt are currently being subjected to various tests, the project-leading traffic authority Hessen Mobil informed the German press agency on request. The official start of data collection with all five trucks is expected to be at the end of August.

On the busy route, hybrid trucks have been able to recharge their batteries with a pantograph on an overhead line for a good year now. The test, which will run over several years, is intended to examine the effects on traffic, ecological and economic aspects and the additional work required by the road maintenance authorities.
