No Memory of Events
If a child or adult can't recall the events from the night before, it may be due to night terrors. People commonly remember details of their nightmares but not sleep terrors.
Some individuals may appear to be awake during an episode, but they're suspended between stage three and four of sleep, which commonly occur within the first few hours of sleeping. After an episode, it's normal for a person to return to their usual sleep pattern.
