What is ASP? ASP vs Non-ASP What to Do Participate ... TRI Home ASP vs Night Terrors (NT) Checklist for distinguishing Awareness during Sleep Paralysis from Night Terrors: ASP occurs during REM sleep (Stage 1). Night Terrors occur during nonREM sleep (Stage 4 or Delta sleep). ASP experiencers have excellent recall - often in excruciating detail. NT experiencers often recall nothing or only a single frightening image. ASPrs are unable to move. NTrs can flail about and sometimes sleepwalk. The sounds ASPrs make are barely audible to others. The screams of NTrs are often heard by others. The median age of onset for ASP is 14. Night Terrors are most frequent in children 3 - 8. Others have no difficulty awakening an ASPr; a touch is often sufficient. Parents report great difficulty awakening a child from NT. ASP experiencers can learn to direct the course of their experiences into a pleasant lucid dream or OBE. This is not known to happen with NT experiencers. About the only thing Awareness during Sleep Paralysis has in common with Night Terrors is that both may be promoted by stress. Other Conditions Alpha-Delta Sleep Anomaly Narcolepsy Panic/Anxiety Disorders Periodic Paralyses ... SUNDS/SIDS

Night terrors, sometimes referred to as confusional arousal, occur in 5-15 percent of children between the ages of 4 and 6 years, though they can appear in babies as young as 9 months. They are technically partial awakenings from non-REM, or non-dream, sleep. A child in this state may cry, whimper, and flail: He won't look scared so much as he'll appear to be confused, says Dr. Richard Ferber, the director of the Center for Pediatric Sleep Disorders at Children's Hospital in Boston, and author of the book, Solve Your Child's Sleep Problems How are they different from nightmares? Nightmares occur during rapid eye movement (REM) or dream sleep. A child who has had a nightmare is likely to have a somewhat clear idea of what scared him, though before age 2 or so, he probably won't be able to articulate his fright. He may also be afraid to fall back asleep, and in the morning, he may remember that he had a bad dream. How long do night terrors last?

Eyes wide, mouth circled in a scream, the terror brings his mother running, only to find she can’t reach her son. He is trapped betwixt and between caught within two layers of his own body’s functioning. His mind is asleep, his body awake. He doesn’t respond to his mother’s touch; he struggles to free himself of her grasp. She can do nothing but watch and wait. It will end, she tells herself. But for this Drifton, Penn. mother, it will soon begin again. Each night, Bobbi Dempsey waits for her son’s screams to pierce the dullness of sleep. Dempsey’s son has a sleeping disorder that plagues more than 200,000 kids night terrors. For parents, night terrors can be frightening to witness. For children who typically have no recollection of the event night terrors are little more than an inconvenience, say experts. ”Every night, my son was screaming and terrified. I thought he had somehow gotten hurt. Sometimes he thought someone was after him. It was a horrible thing to watch him go through,” says Dempsey, who resorted to sleeping on the living room couch with her son so she could be near him and so his screams could be as far as possible from his two brothers.

Dream Analysis: Sleep-Walking, Sleep Talking and "Night Terrors" All dreams come in the service of health and wholeness. The generic message of every remembered dream is: "There is a potentially positive, creative, transformative role for the dreamer's waking mind to play in the further unfoldment of whatever is being given symbolic shape in this dream." In other words, no remembered dream ever came to say to the dreamer, "Nyeah, nyeah, nyeah - you have these problems and there's nothing you can do about them...!" If the dream is remembered at all, than it means that the dreamer has the inherent ability to deal creatively and effectively with all the problems and "issues" that the dream raises in symbolic form; if this were not true, the dream would simply not have been remembered. When a dream experience is not remembered, then the health & wholeness promoting quality of the dream must be sought somewhere other than the expansion and development of the dreamer's own waking consciousness. In the case of sleep-walking and sleep-talking, and the special case of "night terrors", (about which more below),the dreamer is most often very difficult to awaken, and if/when it is accomplished, most often does not remember what was going on "inside" that was the occasion for the strange "acting out"

Ask the Doctor Q: Night terrors... Several times a week (sometimes several times a night) my 4 year old son wakes up with what his sister calls a "crazy". This has been going on ever since he started school last year. When he has one he wakes up really upset and seems very frightened of something, but we can't get any sense out of him about what is wrong. I am worried that these bad nightmares may have something to do with school. What can we do to stop them? Sam Dr Trisha Macnair responds Your son is not having nightmares but another common sleep problem among children called night terrors Night terrors are usually linked to stress or tiredness Night terrors occur in about 3% of children, more often in boys and tend to run in families. Like most sleep problems, the cause of night terrors isn't completely understood but they seem to be linked with stress and being over-tired. So you are right, it may well have something to do with the fact that he is now at school but is probably more to do with being very tired (as most children are when they first start full-time) rather than something at school worrying him. The child is not awake Night terrors occur while a child is in deep sleep. Just as you describe they seem to wake up very distressed, terrified and thrashing around. But they are not awake. Instead they are trapped in some strange sleepy state. It isn't possible to speak to them or make yourself understood, or understand them as they can't usually speak any sense. And although they seem very upset, they can never remember what happened in the morning (unlike nightmares and dreams which small children can sometimes recall).

Bedwetting Co-sleeping Nightmares Night terrors ... Afraid of the dark Night Terrors Dear Dream Doctor, The nightmares are about someone hurting him in one way or another. He never talks about them and when he gets up in the mornings he seems to be fine, like nothing ever happened. When he wakes up in the night he is screaming out in terror, like someone is trying to kill him or something. It really scares me. Night terrors often are confused for nightmares, but the two arousals from sleep actually are not related. Nightmares occur during REM sleep, and usually have long plot lines involving chase, attack or other distress. Nightmares also usually are remembered vividly, as we are forced awake at their conclusion. Night terrors, on the other hand, occur during very deep, non-dreaming sleep (usually in the first three hours of sleep), and unlike dreams, are characterized by a single, dominating feeling or dream image. The sufferer of a night terror may feel like the walls are collapsing, that he is in danger of being crushed, or he may see spiders or someone in the room. Night terrors also as a rule are not recalled, because the sufferer never fully awakens during the event. To prevent your child from experiencing night terrors in the future, special care should be exercised not to wake him when you check on him during the night, or if you attempt to move him. Either of these stimuli can induce a night terrors episode, as your child will struggle to respond to you, but will be unable to fully awaken. When you do check on him during the night, refrain from adjusting his covers or touching him physically, which might cause an arousal.

How are night terrors different from nightmares? What should I do if my child has a night terror? What causes night terrors, and can they be prevented? What are night terrors? Night terrors are sleep disturbances in which a child may suddenly bolt upright in bed, cry, scream, moan, mumble, and thrash about with her eyes wide open, but without being truly awake. Because she's caught in a sort of a twilight zone between being asleep and being awake, she's unaware of your presence and isn't likely to respond to anything you say or do. In fact, researchers think of night terrors as mysterious glitches in the usually smooth transitions we make each night between sleep stages. As many as 15 percent of children have night terrors at some point, typically beginning in the toddler and preschool years and continuing up to age 7 or even adolescence. An episode can last anywhere from two to 40 minutes, and when it's over your child falls back to sleep abruptly with no memory of the incident. How are night terrors different from nightmares?

Night Terrors Occur in 2 Percent of Children Kevin and Keri's first child, Tiffany, often awoke in the middle of the night complaining of a bad dream. After a hug and some assurance from her parents, Tiffany would quickly fall back to sleep. However, when their second child, Logan, began waking during the night, things were different. Logan would sit straight up in bed screaming, but didn't seem to know his parents were in the room. Some nights, it would take up to a half-hour for the screaming to stop and for Logan to fall back to sleep. The following morning, Logan never remembered the episodes. Worried about their son, Kevin and Keri spoke to Logan's pediatrician. She explained that their son's apparent bad dreams were actually night terrors, a condition that affects young children between the ages of 1 and 8, and recommend tips for dealing with Logan's night terrors. Children often wake in the middle of the night from bad dreams. However, a child who awakens agitated and restless but cannot be awakened or comforted, suffers from night terrors. An inherited disorder, night terrors occur in two percent of children between the ages of one and eight.

Description Night terrors occur most commonly in children between the ages of four and 12 but can also occur at all ages. Affected individuals usually suffer these episodes within a few hours after going to sleep. They appear to bolt up suddenly, and wake up screaming, sweating and panicked. The episode may last anywhere from five to 20 minutes. During this time, the individual is actually asleep, although the eyes may open. Quite often, nothing can be done to comfort the affected person. Very often, the person has no memory of the episode upon waking the next day.
