Hi Chrissie!i have been very worried about my son who is a head banger... It is very comforting to hear from you that it never did you any damage. Because just like your mother, I worry a lot that my son might hurt himself at night. He is 3 years old and has been doing this since he was 6 months old. And it's funny that he also wakes up with his hair tangled... Thank you for sharing your experience!

Hi, just leaving a quick note to say I liked your blog here. I have JCN, since I was about 6 months old, and I wasnt a neglected child either. Still have a bit of the leg kicking and rocking at times, especially if im ill for some reason :) When I was little, i used to rock back and forth for so long at night that I'd wake up with my hair full of knots (I dont miss that), but I can remember how relaxing head bobbing/banging seemed, even though my poor mother worried I'd do some damage... I never did, all is well! :D x

Good day to you, I and my wife found your story very interesting and can relate to it because of our son's behavior. We have a 4 year old adopted son who bangs his face into the pillow before going to sleep, in drowsy state and while sleeping along with the leg kicking. This worries us a lot and we are trying to figure out what might be causing this need of movements. He also shifts his own bodyweight between his legs while standing in a rocking motion with slight humming sound. We have no history of his ancestors and have therfore no idea how to react. No doctor has come up with anything slightly interesting as you have descriped here. This boy is in overdrive all day long, he is so full of energy that it is amazing. He thinks clearly, he has logic thinking, a little speach/vocal difficulties but that is understandable at his age and a speachtherapist is working on letter to say like S,T,G etc. In addition he is the most stubborn person ever to have walked to face of this earth, nothing makes him change his mind, exept perhaps some treats and tricking. We will print our your theories and take to our already scheduled doctors appointment later this month. Thanks for a great article and have a great day.

I like your style, the fact that your site is a little bit different makes it so interesting, I get fed up of seeing same-old-same-old all of the time. I've just stumbled this page for you :-D

Liked your post. I'm a head-rocker myself; I also tap my foot. I enjoy it. I think you may be on to something with your 3rd theory...lately I've read that an over-active mind (I also have ADD)may be 'quieted' by dissipating the excess energy (thoughts) by rocking (or kicking)

My friends daughter is 20 and every night she head bangs, she is very enbarrassed about this and was really mad when she found out i knew,
the thing is i really want to help her as she is now strting to suffer from sore heads,
she has been to the doctor but i think the doctor just brushes her off saying i really dont know wha the problem is,
her father says it starts about 6am and if he wakens her she usually stops,
any help/advice for her would be good,
