We are
experiencing night terrors now. The last couples of weeks or even a month now Veer
has been getting night terrors. I thought maybe they were nightmares… but that’s
not the case. I told two people at work about his odd behavior (gets up in the
middle of the night and starts hysterically crying and sprints for the door to
get to us) and they both described it as night terrors, not nightmares. I guess
they usually occur around this age. Everything he is doing point to night
terrors: he wakes up crying a couple of hours after falling asleep, he opens
his eyes and starts walking toward the door, he sometimes won’t stop crying for
a while.
I hope he
does grow out of it soon. I read articles online that they could last up until
they are like 12.
I wonder what
night terrors are? Meaning, what exactly is going thru his head that makes him
wake up. Look at this cute little face; the idea of him dreaming/thinking about
something bad is upsetting.
