A member asked:

My 2yr old son recently started waking up screaming and sweating so bad that his pillow was soaked and hand was wrinkled also he looks disoriented?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Night terrors: This is most likely related to night terrors, a disorder of stage 4 sleep, like sleep walking. The age is right and the waking with sudden screaming. However, the soaked pillow and wrinkled hand is a bit odd. Being disoriented is an odd combination as well, though it's tough to say if it's due to waking or another reason. I'd consult his doc asap and run this by them for real medical advice.
