Sitting Bolt Upright
The fear that commonly accompanies night terrors can cause a person to suddenly sit bolt upright. If an adult or child suddenly sits up and seems shocked, it may be a symptom of a night terror.
Care needs to be taken to ensure the person experiencing these symptoms doesn't fall out of bed. If a child is prone to night terrors, it might be worth putting extra padding around the bed.
