How do you treat night terrors in 3 year olds?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Night terrors: Establish bedtime routine, make sure the child gets enough rest, no staying up too late, be patient, do not wake the child up during the attack, make sure the child does not get hurt, and if the attacks occur frequently, consult the Pediatrician for possible sleep studies.

Sleep entry disorder: A working concept places this process as a sleep entry disorder.The idea is that a short or longer term deficit in restorative sleep, leads to a rapid entry into deep sleep instead of the usual glide through stages. The events are similar in sleep talking/walking/terrors. Sometimes altering the pre-sleep schedule to allow as little as a half hour more/day can reduce/end the episodes.
