Extractions: Resources Night terrors are a sleep disorder characterized by anxiety episodes with extreme panic, often accompanied by screaming, flailing, fast breathing, and sweating and that usually occur within a few hours after going to sleep. Night terrors occur most commonly in children between the ages of four and 12 but can also occur at all ages. Affected individuals usually suffer these episodes within a few hours after going to sleep. They appear to bolt up suddenly, and wake up screaming, sweating and panicked. The episode may last anywhere from five to 20 minutes. During this time, the individual is actually asleep, although the eyes may open. Quite often, nothing can be done to comfort the affected person. Very often, the person has no memory of the episode upon waking the next day. Night terrors are differentiated from nightmares in that they have been shown to occur during Stage 4 of sleep, or in REM sleep, while nightmares can occur anytime throughout the sleep cycle. Suffering from night terrors seems to run in families. Extreme tension or

Credits T errifying dreams are part of human nature: there are very few persons who have never had a nightmare sometime in life. As the picture above shows, the ancient Greeks even thought that during nightmare one is dominated by an " incubus " (a small demon) who sits on the dreamer's chest, leading to a sense of suffocation, breath difficulties, a racing and heavy heart. However, there is a rare type of frightening phenomenon during sleep which is not quite like a nightmare. It is called "night terrors" or " Pavor Nocturnus " and it is a severe sleep disturbance, consisting of attacks of acute terror arising in deep sleep without dreaming. It is accompanied by violent body movements, extreme agitation, gasping, moaning, screaming, sweating, confusion, and in some cases, flight from the bed or the room, destructive behavior and aggression directed toward objects or against themselves or other persons. Wounds, fractures and lesions may occur in consequence. Sleep terrors occur during a phase of deep non-REM ( Rapid Eye Movement ) sleep usually within an hour after the subject goes to bed (stage 4). An episode may last anywhere from five to twenty minutes while the subject is still asleep. The eyes may be open. The patient is unable to recall anything afterwards.

Extractions: Don't try to intervene in the middle of a night terror. Let your child scream it out, and unless he is in danger of hurting himself, don't try to physically restrain him. If you attempt to hold your terrified child it could lead to wilder behavior. Instead, speak calmly and place yourself between him and anything dangerous. Before bed, take the same precautions you would for a sleepwalking child: Pick up any toys or other objects from the floor, fasten gates at the top of stairs, and lock all windows and doors leading outside.

Extractions: Night terrors occur in at least 5 percent of young children, and can start as early as 9 months. These mysterious disturbances happen during deep, non-dreaming sleep. A toddler in this state will cry, whimper, flail, and even bolt out of bed. Though his eyes may be wide open, he's not awake and isn't aware of your presence, says Dr. Richard Ferber, the director of the Center for Pediatric Sleep Disorders at Children's Hospital in Boston and the author of Solve Your Child's Sleep Problems . Once the night terror (which can last anywhere from a few minutes to half an hour or more) is over, your toddler will return to a sound sleep and have no memory of the incident in the morning.

At this time, most children will transition to a lighter sleep stage or will wake briefly before returning to sleep . Some children, however, get stuck unable to completely emerge from slow wave sleep. Caught between stages, these children experience a period of partial arousal.

Extractions: Night terrors and children Symptoms and causes of night terrors in children, as well as various preventative methods. Is it a nightmare or a night terror? The BBC reports that 3% of children experience night terrors, most of whom are boys. Studies confirm that night terrors tend to run in families, as do other sleep disorders. These children that are afflicted with night terrors many times act like they are awake, but they are asleep. Night terrors are not nightmares. Nightmares occur during an early stage of sleep and night terrors occur in later stages of the sleep cycle. If your child has been exhibiting strange behavior and extreme fear upon awakening (they only appear awake), they are probably having a night terror. Sleep disorders are a very common occurence in toddlers and young children, so parents should not be alarmed. Night terrors are a common in young children ages 3-5, especially boys. In rare cases, girls and adults can even experience night terrors, but the people usually effected have a strong biological predisposition for night terrors or other sleep disorders. Knowing the causes and signs will arm parents with the knowledge that they need in order to help their children have a restful night's sleep. Talking to the family physician or pediatrician will also shed some light on the problem, and offer some practical solutions. bodyOffer(32878) What is a sleep disorder?

Extractions: Click Here At night, he experiences a strange condition called night terrors in which he cries out and moves around wildly, even though he is fast asleep. "It's as if he's a different person when he has the night terror," said his mother, Kim Vanderklis. "He physically looks different, he sounds different." The Pearl River, La., woman actually videotaped her distressed son in a desperate search for answers to his bizarre nighttime behavior. The boy's father has been equally puzzled. "You'll hear him making noises, and he's just wandering around and trying to pick up imaginary things," said his stepfather, Eric Vanderklis. "And you tell him to go back to his room, and as long as you stay calm with him, he'll go back to his room." But the family has found an even better solution from an unexpected place: another mom, in a different state, whose son suffered from the same disorder.

Extractions: Getting back to Night Terrors, here is what happens within the body during an episode: the autonomic nervous system is activated, which stimulates feelings of intense fear via the "fight or flight" response. Some people have anxiety attacks on top of this autonomic response mechanism, and/or have asthma attacks as well. If this is a frequent occurance, it might help to keep a good old-fashioned paper bag next to the bed, so you can breathe into it and prevent hyperventilating and resume normal breathing. How often do these Night Terrors occur? It varies. Some people have episodes less than once per month, without harm to themselves or others. Some people experience episodes less than once per week, without harm to themselves or others. In its severest form they occur almost nightly, and/or occur with unintentional physical injury to the person affected, or to others nearby. It would be wise to contact a sleep disorder clinic if you fall into the second or third category, certainly. I have a link to sleep disorders clinics, below.

Extractions: Night terrors are sleep disturbances in which a child may suddenly bolt upright in bed, cry, scream, moan, mumble, and thrash about with her eyes wide open, but without being truly awake. Because she's caught in a sort of a twilight zone between being asleep and being awake, she's unaware of your presence and isn't likely to respond to anything you say or do. In fact, researchers think of night terrors as mysterious glitches in the usually smooth transitions we make each night between sleep stages. As many as 15 percent of children have night terrors at some point, typically beginning in the toddler and preschool years and continuing up to age 7 or even adolescence. An episode can last anywhere from two to 40 minutes, and when it's over your child falls back to sleep abruptly with no memory of the incident. How are night terrors different from nightmares?

Also in May, Dr. Steven Hyman, the director of the National Institute of Mental Health issued an alert to family practitioners warning them about the use of antidepressants for children with depression who may have a bipolar disorder. "While it can be hard to determine which young patients will become manic," he wrote, " there is a greater likelihood among children who have a family history of bipolar disorder. Family practitoners should be aware of the signs and symptoms of mania so that they can educate families on how to recognize them immediately."

An article on this topic is available in this issue of AFP What are nightmares? Nightmares are scary dreams. Most children have them from time to time. One out of every four children has nightmares more than once a week. Most nightmares happen very late in the sleep period (usually between 4 and 6 a.m.). Your child may wake up and come to you for comfort. Usually, he or she will be able to tell you what happened in the dream and why it was scary. Your child may have trouble going back to sleep. Your child might have the same dream again on other nights. What are night terrors? Some children have a different kind of scary dream called a "night terror." Night terrors happen during deep sleep (usually between 1 and 3 a.m.). A child having a night terror will often wake up screaming. He or she may be sweating and breathing fast. Your child's pupils (the black center of the eye) may look larger than normal. At this point, your child may still be asleep, with open eyes. He or she will be confused and might not answer when you ask what's wrong. Your child may be difficult to wake and, on awakening, he or she usually won't remember the night terror.

Extractions: Send it to a friend! Q: Night terrors... Several times a week (sometimes several times a night) my 4 year old son wakes up with what his sister calls a "crazy". This has been going on ever since he started school last year. When he has one he wakes up really upset and seems very frightened of something, but we can't get any sense out of him about what is wrong. I am worried that these bad nightmares may have something to do with school. What can we do to stop them? Your son is not having nightmares but another common sleep problem among children called night terrors Night terrors are usually linked to stress or tiredness Night terrors occur in about 3% of children, more often in boys and tend to run in families. Like most sleep problems, the cause of night terrors isn't completely understood but they seem to be linked with stress and being over-tired. So you are right, it may well have something to do with the fact that he is now at school but is probably more to do with being very tired (as most children are when they first start full-time) rather than something at school worrying him. The child is not awake Night terrors occur while a child is in deep sleep. Just as you describe they seem to wake up very distressed, terrified and thrashing around. But they are not awake. Instead they are trapped in some strange sleepy state. It isn't possible to speak to them or make yourself understood, or understand them as they can't usually speak any sense. And although they seem very upset, they can never remember what happened in the morning (unlike nightmares and dreams which small children can sometimes recall).
