It is horrific when it is medication induced. We went through a stage of night terrors but no medication involved. I asked our Dr. and General Practice Nurse for advice. At about the age of 3 y.o. little ones develop a very strong imagination which can cause this situation. Gently attempt to find out the next morning what it was about. You may able to reassure your child that it was a dream, not something that actually happened.
Some sleep walk without having night terrors or nightmares. I know a lady who as a teenager used to drag her mattress out onto the verandah in warm weather. They had no mains power and had to rely on a generator which they couldn’t run at night as the noise kept all of them awake. She did it when she moved to the city to live too. A friend heard the door go and followed her down the street before turning her around, walking her home and putting her back to bed. At that point she was sharing with 2 other girls (they were all studying) in a rental property. All of them came from country areas. She started sleeping too heavily and having problems so they now waker her during the night. That has stopped the problems.

Great advise. I hate when their in that state. You Really feel for them.

Great advice, heartbreaking when they wake up and are inconsolable.

nice story

exellent super story

Thank you for sharing. I have heard of night terrors but, wasn’t exactly sure what they were.

That is pretty scary to go though, thank you for sharing

What an awful experience for both of you, hope that your son is well now.

My son has the same thing, the blood curdling screams at the wee hours of the morning. Not something you want your kids to have. We didn’t know this when he first had it not to wake them or talk to them about it in the morning as it makes them scared to go to bed. We not have a night light in his room and my partner or i lays with him reading a book until he falls a sleep. It seems to be working as he does get it as much but it’s an awful thing for kids to have.
