A member asked:

My child is 1 1/2 year, she screams so loud in the middle of the night and won't calm down. it's so frightening. what could be causing this?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Several possibities: Does she recognize you immediately if you touch her or seem to be fighting and hard to waken.Nightmares respond to light touch and she will be happy to see you and stop yelling.Night terrors are similar to sleep walking and occur in deep sleep. She will be hard to waken and screem until she stops. Night terrors reflect poor sleep habits and need for better sleep.
