Juliane sure has some peculiar habits when she sleeps. Not too long ago, she was singing in her sleep over a few nights. But she has one consistent habit that she has had for the longest time and she does it several times a night. No matter how I tried, she can't kick the habit.
Whenever she does it, it reminds me of this:
"Out, damn'd spot! out, I say!—One; two: why, then 'tis time to do't. —Hell is murky. —Fie, my lord, fie, a soldier, and afeard? What need we fear who knows it, when none can call our pow'r to account?—Yet who would have thought the old man to have had so much blood in him? Here's the smell of the blood still; all the perfumes of Arabia will not sweeten this little hand. Oh, Oh, Oh!"
Sounds familiar?! Well, for those who have taken Literature, it is from Shakespeare's Macbeth, Act 5 Scene 1. Yes, Juliane has this peculiar "Lady Macbeth like washing of hands" habit. She would suddenly raise both hands into the air and starts to "wash her hands" as in rubbing her palms together and the back of her hands. When I tried to stop her, she would instead start to "wash" my hands. Hahaha. :P I really don't understand how, when or why she pick up this habit.
Let's hope she will grow out of this habit when she gets older. :)

In order to enlighten the profile of body movements during sleep at old age, the night sleep of twelve elderly subjects was polygraphically investigated; seven young healthy subjects were the control group.Significantly less body movements during sleep were found in the elderly compared to young subjects, meaning that the decrease in the number of body movements observed from infancy to childhood up to adulthood also continues at later ages.
