    Could she have went to the bathroom?

    It sounds like you can't rule it out. Might be the most logical conclusion. Kids can fall back asleep VERY quickly.

    True, my daughter and son are able to get up during the night, climb 6 stairs to the bathroom, go to the toilet and back to bed, all while still in a sleepy trance

    Ya maybe that's what happened so, it's just so unlike her to do that. Also there was nothing disturbed in the bathroom as far as I remember, but maybe I just didn't pay too much attention to it

    I wouldn't read too much into it, your child is safe and doesn't remember anything. You have to remember in moments of panic our minds play very big tricks on us, we can do, say and check things and when you finally relax and calm down you yourself can sometimes forget what you did or checked while in that moment of a panicked state.

    One time we went looking for my little brother all over the house, then the garden, then the village. I don't know what made me check his room a second time - he was under a huge pile of blankets the whole time. These things do happen!

    Are you sure you didnt nod off and dream the first half of the story and not realise because you were in such a panic.
    Tiredness can be a bit strange sometimes and do things like that.

    Apparently the same thing happened with me when I was little. Everyone was in a panic and I had decided to put myself to bed for one reason or another and the covers were in a bit of a heap.

    Did you pull back the covers? Could she have just been under them?

    Sleep deprivation does very odd things! I also find time is funny, sometimes I'd think it only takes x mins to do something but it's actually taken much more or less than I'd have estimated.
