5 year old boy has a sleep disorder, while sleeping, bangs his head up and down has anyone seen this?

My friends 5 year old son was riding in the car with us lastnight in a booster seat, he was sound asleep and every couple of minutes he would start banging his head back and forth about 6 or 7 times and then stop. About 5-10 mnutes later he would repeat. His father said he does this at home as well while in bed. The child did this for over an hour. Has anyone experienced this type of disorder?

Answer:
first what his region and his father
may be i can hellp you email me
do you think he needs an exorcism
I saw this when a while back, also with a friends son. While im not saying anything about your friend, my friends son had a tramuatic past. Is your friends son adopted? If so this could be the culprit.
i have a five yo daughter and she has done that since she was able to hold her head up... in fact she has a permanent red spot on her fore head from doing it so much... i never really looked at it as a disorder..but also i've known that it wasn't normal. I personally think it is just a comfort thing for her...she does it when she is trying to fall asleep...and it usually works...she also wakes up sometimes and does it till shes back asleep. hope this helps
