Night terrors: the source of panic after children fall asleep.

Children should be immersed in sweet dreams after falling asleep, but some children will suddenly scream and cry in the middle of the night, with their eyes closed or sitting up and their faces tense. This phenomenon called "night terrors" makes parents very worried. This article will discuss the causes and countermeasures of night terrors in depth to help parents better understand their children's sleep problems.

The mystery of children's brain activity

Children's brains are highly excited, and scenes experienced during the day are often printed in their minds before going to bed. When these memories are repeated in dreams, children may wake up, especially after being frightened or strongly stimulated.

Night terrors are not terrible.

Although children's sudden screams may make parents panic, this kind of night terrors is a functional disease. With the increase of age and the gradual improvement of the nervous system, most of these symptoms will disappear. Of course, watching scary TV before going to bed, listening to thrilling stories or feeling unwell, such as roundworms and full bladder, may also cause night terrors.

Causes of children's night terrors

In addition to the above-mentioned physiological and psychological factors, we should also pay attention to whether the child has a fever, whether it needs to urinate, whether it is too cold or too hot.

Create a stable sleeping environment for children.

In order to ensure children's good sleep, parents should ensure their children fall asleep on time and avoid telling horror stories. In terms of diet, avoid overeating before going to bed.
