Not that the internet is the greatest source of everything...but since a variety of sites said to leave them sleeping I figured it probably was true.<br /><br />The reasoning is that a night terror one of the freakiest things to witness that I've witnessed and so obviously when she woke up, she woke up to a not very calm mommy, which made her freak out again in her awake state. <br /><br />Night terrors typically only last less than a half hour, so it isn't as if the child would be screaming forever. <br /><br />I don't know though. My friend said that night terrors were common in her family growing up and they always were woken up to deal with them. <br /><br />Usually, though, the child won't remember them because they weren't actually dreaming when the terror happened...so it's not like they can talk about it or tell you what they were dreaming about. They just wake up scared and then will quickly fall back asleep because they won't remember anything scary happening. In a nightmare they usually will remember something happening--for Rachel it's usually dogs--and will want to talk about it, etc. <br /><br />Anyway...in short...I have no clue.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08631734965938273438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624978.post-77956676453182207102009-04-25T20:29:00.000-04:002009-04-25T20:29:00.000-04:00Are you sure it is worse to wake them up during th...Are you sure it is worse to wake them up during the terror?

It terrifies me when they scream like that. I'm sorry that Rachel had one. They're no fun for anyone in the house. I hope she outgrows it soon. The only one who still has them from time to time is Anthony. The girls outgrew theirs pretty quickly.MOMsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07302754110600227455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624978.post-6504333159506153102009-04-24T16:52:00.000-04:002009-04-24T16:52:00.000-04:00How scary to have her screaming like that:( Hope e...How scary to have her screaming like that:( Hope everyone is feeling better soon.Ashley Bretonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10889954279296864873noreply@blogger.com
