A member asked:

My son will be 2 in june. when he gets really tired & is fighting sleep he gets the giggles. he also sometimes laughs in his sleep. is this normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not unusual at all : The behavior you describe is not unusual or atypical for young toddlers. Some might get fussy when tired and others may get the giggles. It is also not unusual for young toddlers to occasionally laugh or whimper or talk in thier sleep as their dreaming and sleep patterns develop. Be well.
