Extractions: Nights terrors are a common sleep disorder for children between ages of two to seven. Between 2 to 3% of all children suffer from night terrors at one point during their development. Adult night terrors are much less frequent (.065%) and often are chronic. Most children will outgrow night terrors within an year of the onset of the disorder. In children, as well as in adults, night terrors are more common among males. There has been much research in both adult and childhood night terrors in the past three decades. There are therapists, researchers, and even support groups available for sufferers of night terrors. Some researchers suggest night terrors are on the increase in both America and Europe (this may be due to greater accuracy in diagnosis). Night terrors usually occur in the first half of the night, in the fourth (non-REM) cycle of sleep. The victim awakens screaming and seemingly very afraid. There is little or no verbalisation and often the victim may thrash around. The sleeper is completely unaware of their surroundings, e.g. parents, and seems immune to being consoled or calmed down. There is no dream or nightmare causing the terror.

Nightmares And Night Terrors - Preteen Sleep Article
Nightmares and night terrors. Feb. 16 2001 For more information please reviewTerms of Service. Your Comments Re Nightmares and night terrors.
http://www.theparentreport.com/resources/ages/preteen/sleep/121.html

Extractions: Resources Preteen Sleep Nightmares and Night Terrors Feb. 16 2001 Sleep researchers have discovered that children dream far more than adults. For example, studies indicate that a child under a year dreams for about five and a half hours a night, while a twenty year old adult will dream for only one and a half hours. Unfortunately dreams sometimes turn into nightmares, especially common among preschool and preteen children. Sleep specialist, Dr. Shelly Weiss explains that the reason children suffer from nightmares most at these ages is because this is "when there are more conflicts in a child's life. In the young child these may be around separation and starting school, and in the older child they may be around preteen issues. So during those periods, the infrequent nightmare isn't a concern." Children are often frightened by their nightmares and may require a little extra assurance when they wake from one. But not so for night terrors. Dr. Weiss says children don't even remember having them. "A night terror usually occurs in a preschool child. It's a partial awakening so the child is half awake, half asleep. When you see the child it may be quite scary because your child may have a glazed look, be thrashing and screaming, yet in the morning will have no memory of that event." As alarming as night terrors are for the parent observing them, they are in fact completely harmless. Dr. Jonathan Flemming of the UBC Hospital's Sleep Clinic explains that "a night terror is a physiological state of hyper-arousal and what happens in that state is people have rapid heartbeat, are panting and breathing much more rapidly than usual, and they appear terrified."

Get answers to your questions about night terrors, episodes of yelling and thrashingthat strike young children during the first few hours of sleep.
http://www.buildingbetterhealth.com/topic/nightterrors

Extractions: When should I call the doctor? What are night terrors? If you've never seen them before, watching your child in the grip of night terrors can be pretty frightening. She may yell, cry, thrash, or even run about wildly with her eyes open, and you probably won't be able to wake or soothe her. But don't be alarmed. These episodes are harmless, and your child won't even remember them the next day. Night terrors (sometimes referred to as confusional arousal) generally occur in the first few hours of the night, during deep, nondream sleep. Technically, a child who's having them has partly awakened from deep sleep and is stuck between two sleep stages. Up to 15 percent of children experience night terrors at some point, usually between the ages of four and six years, although they aren't unheard-of in babies as young as nine months and may continue to occur sporadically until a child reaches adolescence. What should I do if my child is having one of these episodes?

Extractions: Nightmares and Night Terrors Children can tell us a great deal about their development even when they are asleep. Two of those insights come from nightmares and night terrors. To help your children handle them effectively, you have to understand the differences between the two. A nightmare is simply a dream gone bad. It has a plot with a twist that is frightening. Most children's nightmares occur early in the morning. The child will wake up scared and upset. If he can talk, he will tell you what frightened him in the dream. He will cling to you for comfort and respond to your reassurances. Night terrors are quite different. Although almost all children will have at least one mild night terror, patterns of severe or repeated night terrors appear to run in families. They usually occur within a few hours of falling asleep. A four-year-old having a night terror may sit bolt upright in his bed with his eyes wide open and scream. He may call out for his parents, yet he doesn't recognize them when they come into his room. When they try to hold him and comfort him, he pushes them away as if escaping from a trap. The fighting and screaming may last as long as half an hour. If his parents ask him later what frightened him, he cannot tell them. In fact, he may not even remember being scared. Night terrors are not dreams. The screaming child with the open eyes and swinging arms is still asleep. In fact, he is in the deepest state or sleep, a condition parents usually notice only when their toddler or preschooler falls so soundly asleep that he does not wake up as they prepare him for bed.

Extractions: A night terror is a partial waking from sleep with behaviors such as screaming, kicking, panic, sleep walking, thrashing, or mumbling. Night terrors usually occur within two hours of the time a child goes to sleep. They are harmless and each episode will end in deep sleep. Night terrors usually disappear by age 12 or sooner. The following are common characteristics of a night terror: How to help a child during a night terror: Try to help your child return to normal sleep. You will not be able to awaken your child, so do not try. Turn on the lights so that your child is less confused by shadows. Make soothing comments. Hold your child if it seems to help him/her feel better. Shaking or shouting at your child may cause the child to become more upset.

Extractions: Sleep terrors are sleep episodes in which the sleeper wakes up suddenly in intense fear. The sleeper often wakes up screaming or crying out in fright. Up to 6 percent of children have sleep terrors and up to 1 percent of adults. Sleep terrors are also called night terrors, pavor nocturnus, or incubus. Symptoms Sleep terrors usually occur during the first third of the night, during the deepest stage (Stage 4) of sleep. They normally last between one and 10 minutes, but can leave a sleeper disoriented for much longer. Sleepers seldom recall details of the sleep terror. They are also usually unresponsive to efforts to comfort them. In addition, sleepwalking and enuresis (bed wetting) are more common in people with sleep terrors than in the general population. There are other physical characteristics of most sleep terror episodes. These include the following:

Extractions: (Night Terrors) Un susto nocturno es una disturbio del sueño que puede ser muy desconcertante para los padres. Cuando los niños pasan un susto en la noche, usualmente lloran o gritan y se ven perturbados, como si han tenido una pesadilla. Estos niños se miran aterrorizados. Se sientan en cama, agitando las manos y con un semblante de pavor. Sustos nocturnos son a veces mas desconcertantes para los padres que para los niños que los padecen. Cuando los padres tratan de calmar a sus hijos durante un susto, a menudo se dan cuenta que sus hijos no los reconocen y no responden a ellos. Esto es porque los niños están aun dormidos. Quizás sus ojos esten abiertos pero en efecto estan todavía dormidos. Los padres confunden seguido los sustos nocturnos con las pesadillas, cuando en efecto son muy diferentes. Sustos nocturnos son mas raros que pesadillas. Al contrario que las pesadillas, los sustos ocurrren durante períodos de sueño profundo y generalmente suceden en las primeras cuatro horas del sueño. Aunque son raros, ocurren mas seguido entre los cuatro y cinco años de edad, y usualmente cesan como a los ocho años de edad. Los sustos nocturnos no se consideran de peligro o como causa de preocupación. No se sabe hasta la fecha porqué los niños tienen sustos nocturnos, pero parece que suceden en familias. Tampoco se creé que estén relacionados con el estrés o los problemas diarios de los niños. No són particularmente desconcertantes para los niños porque ellos no se acuerdan del susto la mañana siguiente. La mayoría del tiempo los niños que tienen un susto nocturno se vuelven a dormir en unos pocos minutos.
