When the child is suddenly walking in the middle of the night screaming while he is still asleep, he is probably having night terrors.
As long as this can be a common phenomenon in children is a frightening experience, even more for mother and father, and it can happen early on at the age of 2-3 in children.
A sleep in horror is a interrupted sleep that may seem much like anxiety but with a much more surprising appearance. Night terrors occur during a deep sleep cycle. It is not a dream, but an episode of partial waking that takes place during the transition from one cycle of sleep to another. Night terrors may appear about two or three hours after the children sleep.
Night terrors can be caused by excessive stimuli of the nervous center system during sleep. We should remind you that children should not wake up during sleep terror but create a secure circle not to hurt themselves. There are no special treatments for night terrors, but there are ways to protect children from the rich.
Imitate evening screen viewing
Make house rules to turn off all screens ( TV, computers, phones, tablets... at least an hour before bedtime. The light on the screen can prevent the release of sleep hormone melatonin. We want the brain to stop before we go to bed, not to start overwork.
Create a normal, stable sleep routine
Before you sleep, make sure you let your children have counterproductive time so they're ready to break down. Take a hot bath, read a story, and make sure that your activities are calm. It is also a good idea to be stable with your bedtime and go to bed at the same time.
Make sure to create a bedroom that is dark, fresh, and as calm as possible. Create rooms that are suitable for them and sleep.
Avoid as much opportunities as possible for your child to get very tired
As mentioned earlier, sleep at the same time is key. Many parents feel that if their children get very tired, they will get more sleep and have better quality sleep at night. That's not true. When they're well rested, they'll sleep more relaxing and go from one cycle to another as best they can in hopes of avoiding night terrors.
Night terrors may be frightening, but remember: your children will not remember what happened in the morning. Establishing a healthy environment and a routine are the first steps for a child to sleep better at night.
