Guest guest Posted June 2, 2000 Report Share Posted June 2, 2000 Hate to sound weird , but 11 years ago my child's continued night fears were from the spirit world. At two he was describing a mans head on a horses body jumping on him at night. He is now fourteen and talks freely about our haunted house and the thing that jumped on him at night. We prayed, we fasted, we got a good grip on these things in this house, yet it was hard. We were glad when we moved and he had no further trouble. We did however find the new owners having problems. Sorry not the answer you would like, but a realistic option. Another option is....I have trouble sleeping when I eat pork or products with MSG.

Guest guest Posted June 3, 2000 Report Share Posted June 3, 2000 Whew! You are right, now the answer I'd hoped for! From what I have read so far, dark figures are seen. During one of hers she asked " what's it going to do? " . Last night we prayed about it and she slept fine. I will continue praying and seeing what happens. Thanks!

Guest guest Posted August 1, 2001 Report Share Posted August 1, 2001 : My oldest son, had these often starting at around 18 months. They went on for a long time. He was not comforted at all during this incidents, he looked like he was awake but he was not. Boy they were awful. We read a good book, I cant remember the name as its been so long ago, about various sleep problems which we found helpful. It was blue and the man's name started with and F I think. I have seen it many times at different book stores. If you are interested I ll bet you would find it easily. Even with this poor information. They did pass. My five year old has had one recently. Hope that this does not mean they are starting for him as well. Kaitlyn on the other hand has never had a problem with this. Darcy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 2, 2001 Report Share Posted August 2, 2001 We do not have this problem with Nick but with his twin brother . He wakes up screaming, shaking and is inconsolable. It goes on for about 10 minutes and then he quiets down and goes back to sleep. Bonnie from Long Island Mom to -11, twins and (ds)-3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 5, 2001 Report Share Posted August 5, 2001 Hi , My has and still has night terrors. He would scream for hours during the night. There was no conforting him. I eventually each night would make him all cuddled up in the big comfy chair and put a movie on for him to watch. He was very extreme, possibly because of the Autism but I do know these were real night terrors. This past year when he wakes he is much easier to settle and they don't last very long. He even once came into my room before I heard him and he verbalized that he was scared and he crawled in to bed with me. We had a little problem while camping in our hard top just recently. In order to not wake up the campground, I had to take him to the van and let him settle it out. I think these will pass for the children, is sooooo much better now than when he was 4. I sometimes don't know how I survived that year now when I look back. Sherry (mom to Kendra 11ds, Alyssa 6, 5 autism) Night Terrors > Has anyone's child experienced this? It's possible is.

Guest guest Posted August 6, 2001 Report Share Posted August 6, 2001 's sleep terrors (completely different from nightmares) is related to his sleep cycle. What I find interesting is that his seizures are at night, too. Maybe I should talk to his DS doctor about this in more depth...perhaps a sleep study should be done. Len, any thoughts??? > > << Has anyone's child experienced this? It's possible is. He wakes > up > within 2 hours of falling asleep looking terrified and yelling at me.

Guest guest Posted November 26, 2001 Report Share Posted November 26, 2001 I don't know if someone mentioned this already, but night terrors is one of the symptoms of sleep apnea. Zack only had them a few times, but we had him checked. At that time, they found the apnea was mild, but as he grew older, it didn't go away and they finally took out his tonsils and adenoids. That cut the night terrors out completely, along with the snoring, the tossing, the loud sighing. He sleeps like a log now! Just something you might want to have checked if you're worried about it.

Guest guest Posted November 26, 2001 Report Share Posted November 26, 2001 Hi Kay, I feel for you! Emma went through a period of waking screaming and completely terrified! What was worse is that she couldn't tell me about it. This went on for about 2 weeks and then stopped as quickly as it started. For her, I am sure it was a change of routine plus she wasn't feeling well with a cold. I slept with her after she woke screaming and she would hold my hand very firmly as if to say " don't leave me " . I hope gets through this quickly - it really is awful to see them so scared.

Guest guest Posted November 26, 2001 Report Share Posted November 26, 2001 Kay, I have had experience with Night Terrors with , now looking back I can honestly tell you they were all related to lack of sleep due to a change in his schedule. Luckily, he only had them after we returned home, so the people we were visiting did not have to be awake for half the night. If you get him back to his old routine there should be few of the terror and maybe none at all. Hope all is well soon and you get your much needed sleep. Check the first line of your message to welcoming Charlene, you are definitely lacking sleep, did not you mean to type 2G and 1B???

Guest guest Posted August 19, 2002 Report Share Posted August 19, 2002 Hi, I am working with an 8yr old who has had much difficulty reading (diagnosed dyslexic) as well as presenting severe emotional outbursts. I was training B at c3pz and SMR at t3t4 which created great improvement in his reading and memory yet he began having night terrors. The terrors lasted nearly 1.5 weeks each about 15mins. After omitting the t3t4 training and adding SMR at c4 things have shifted. Perhaps that clears it up a little? Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
