Night terrors have been noted in kids who are overtired, stressed or ill, taking a new medication or sleeping in a new environment.
Almost every child will have night terrors occasionally. Night terrors usually occur in kids aged 4 to 12, but have been reported in kids as young as 18 months. They seem to be a little more common among boys.
A child might have a single night terror or several before they stop altogether. Most of the time, night terrors simply disappear on their own as the central nervous system matures.
Night terrors can be very upsetting for parents, who might feel helpless at not being able to comfort their child. The best way to handle a night terror is to wait it out patiently and make sure the child doesn’t get hurt by thrashing (剧烈扭动) around. Kids usually will settle down and return to sleep on their own in a few minutes.
It’s best not to try to wake kids up during a night terror. Attempts usually don’t work, and kids who do wake are likely to be confused, and may take longer to settle down and go back to sleep.
There’s no treatment for night terrors, but you can help prevent them. Try to reduce your child’s stress; establish and stick to a bedtime routine that’s simple and relaxing; make sure your child gets enough rest and prevent your child from becoming overtired by staying up too late.
Understanding night terrors can reduce your worry and help you get a good night’s sleep yourself. But if night terrors happen repeatedly, talk to your doctor.
