Crying
Uncontrollable crying, either while sleeping or upon waking up, is another possible symptom of sleep terrors. Nightmares can be scary, get your heart pumping and be emotionally draining.
Children may need plenty of reassurance and a safe environment should they awaken in a heightened emotional state. If the crying happens at the same time every night, parents are encouraged to wake their child up before the episode to see if it helps.1‘Night Terrors (for Parents) - Nemours KidsHealth.’ Edited by Elana Pearl Ben-Joseph, KidsHealth, The Nemours Foundation, June 2017, kidshealth.org/en/parents/terrors.html
