Sleep, perchance to wander for Jess
Friday 27th November 2009, 8:00PM GMT.
Four-year-old Jessica Tinsley after another sleepless night.
Many youngsters may have troublesome dreams which cause them to have nightmares or be afraid of the dark.
But for four-year-old Shropshire girl Jessica Tinsley nights are very different as she acts out her dreams and is often walking or running around for a large part of the evening.
The youngster suffers from a rare condition called Eidetic Imagery, which has seen her named as Britain’s youngest sleepwalker.
Her dad, Gobowen man Chris Tinsley and his family were featured on Channel 4′s Cutting Edge documentary “Jess – Britain’s Youngest Sleepwalker” last night.
The family, who now live in Aldershot where Mr Tinsley serves in the Armed Forces, were followed by the documentary-makers for 18 months as they sought help for their daughter’s extreme sleepwalking.

I watched the programme, but in the end it just turned out that she just needed a good bedtime routine! Maybe it could be to do with her Daddy being in the Army and him being away lots. I have been there, and the children just express themselves diferently. A good ending though, as she had her first night whre she didn’t wake up!! Hopefully, for poor Mummy, that’s an end to it! Good luck, all of you.
