They are called
night terrors. Night terrors are where a
child will actually wake up screaming, not even knowing that they are
screaming. What happens is that they’re dreaming and they’re in a state of
sleep where they actually are not responsive. The more you try to wake your
child or get your child out of a night terror, the worse it gets. What you need
to do in these situations is to protect your child so they don’t harm
themselves, but otherwise, let them get through it. It could take twenty to
thirty minutes for a night terror to end.
