In light of a 45 minute phone consult I had last week which was clear night terrors was occurring. I thought I'd make a post for you all. Did you know the difference?
The good news though:
Night terrors are not a sign of trauma or bad dreams — just a sign that the brain is adjusting between sleep stages. They’re common between ages 3–7 and most children grow out of them completely.
If they happen often, keep a consistent bedtime routine and make sure your child isn’t overtired — prevention can make a big difference 💛
Have you ever experienced a night terror (also known as sleep terrors) before?
