The disturbing children's night terrors

Night terrors. The specialists differentiate them from simple nightmares, because they are more intense, dreadful and shocking for those who suffer them, especially for children.Do you remember any of these phenomena in your childhood? ?

We must clarify that it is also possible to suffer them in adulthood, but medical data tell us that they occur mostly in the smallest ones.The reason? This type of parasomnias can appear as part of the evolutionary process of maturation of the nervous system of the child.It is something similar to what we explain to you with Alice's syndrome in Wonderland.As our neuronal structures mature, this type of night terrors usually loses intensity.Their appearance in adulthood is not ruled out, but it is in childhood when they can torment us the most.

Let's talk about it today, let's get into the chilling world of night terrors.

Nightmares or night terrors?

We will start by making a distinction between what a nightmare and a night terror are.Surely there is some data What surprises you:

The nightmares

Usually, we can remember enough data of this type of dreams, they have some logic and can become quite elaborate.Authentic and fantastic stories, which although frightening, have their logic.
They appear in the phases of REM sleep.
During nightmares we do not usually move much, either We usually talk and if we do it is when the nightmare itself ends. There is no muscle tone .
When we wake up, we continue with the sensation of "fear" stuck inside us.

Night terrors

Children can get up from bed, talk, cry and scream...However, it is not very difficult to wake them up.
When we ask them to remember, they explain vague and imprecise things.Barely without logic.
There is high anxiety; when children wake up they have tachycardias, sweats, tremors...
They appear in the dream No Rem and in the first half of the night.
It usually appears in Children between 4 and 12 years old, being more intense when they are sick, have a fever or have a problem at home or at school.Normally, they disappear with age and no pharmacological treatment is needed.

The disturbing children's night terrors

How are the night terrors?

We all remember the odd nightmare of our childhood, that repetitive one that prevents us from falling asleep at night.But who has suffered night terrors, knows that the experience is different and more intense.It is often said that it is a terror more pure and intense, a fear that physically exhausts the child and that makes throughout the day, remember more the sensations that «l as images »in themselves.

The images are usually inaccurate, while with nightmares there is some more coherence.There are those who say that this type of night terrors respond perhaps to our fears more attire and primitives : The darkness that catches us, formless monsters that want to attack us, the most disturbing loneliness...If in your childhood you suffered from night terrors it is very possible that you still keep all these sensations.

One thing to keep in mind is that as doctors tell us, it is something hereditary.If the father or mother suffered it in their childhood, it is likely that some of their children also suffer, but as we say, it is part of our process evolutionary.When our brain is mature enough, this type of phenomena will be remitting normally.In adulthood, it is usually suffered only by a 1 or 2% of the adult population. Nor should we confuse it with sleep paralysis, since it is another type d and parasomnia.

If you have any children at home who are currently suffering from them, it is best to act in a quiet way normalizing the situation .If they see the parents alarmed or worried anxiety will be greater.When you see that at night the child is suffering a Night terror, do not talk to him or try to wake him up.Let him get out of the trance, and then offer him comfort by taking away from what happened.Little by little, this phenomenon of the dream will go forward.
