Why Is My Child Screaming at Night? The Truth About Night Terrors

Описание: Parents around the world have faced it: a child suddenly sits up in bed, eyes wide, screaming in terror — yet still asleep. These frightening episodes are known as night terrors, and while they may look alarming, they aren’t nightmares in the usual sense.

Night terrors happen during the deepest stages of sleep, when the brain struggles to transition between cycles. The child may scream, thrash, or appear terrified, but usually won’t remember anything in the morning.

So what causes them? Who is most at risk? And why does the brain sometimes trap children between sleep and wakefulness?

Discover the science and truth behind one of the strangest sleep phenomena.
