A member asked:

My daughter has woken up at 3-4am the last 2 nights in a row shaking and screaming, thinking theres bug on her. theres no bugs, shes imagining it. she seems wide awake and it lasts an hour. she remembers it all the next day. what could this be?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Confusing: This sounds like a nightmare if she remembers it all. If so she should respond to you immediately if you touch her & stop. If she does not stop & seems distant/lost while you are trying to wake her it would be a night terror. NT's are like sleep walking but more dramatic. NT's will stop on their own if you let them & kids do not remember them (unless you woke them). Let her doc sort it out.
