Night Terrors in Children
Night terrors, a rare sleep disorder seen in children, are much more than ordinary nightmares. During a night terror, a parent is not usually able to calm the child. In fact, it is difficult to awaken a child who is suffering from night terrors. While night terrors are frightening to the parents, they do not pose a health threat to the child. Most children do not even remember the episode when they wake up the next morning.

These are called night terrors, (also called sleep terrors or pavor nocturnus) and can be very worrisome for parents. The child seemingly awakens from sleep in a panic, sometimes screaming or crying and cannot be calmed down. The child might appear confused and might not recognize the parent. In actuality, the child is still asleep.
