Why does my 2 year old laugh in his sleep?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sleep in Children: Laughing in sleep, like talking and sleep walking is a stage the developing brain goes through from 2 till 5 years of age. Sometimes at this age there are also sleep terrors. We still have much to learn about how developmental neurobiology effects sleep and visa versa.
