Sleep Terror Disorder Not Related To Nightmares
If your child wakes up in the middle of the night screaming in sheer terror, they may be suffering from pavor nocturmus, better known as sleep terror disorder. Often this is confused with nightmares, but there is a major difference in that the child often remembers what caused their nightmare while they may not wake up at all during an episode of sleep terror disorder and will not remember being awake.
