Question: My daughter who is 2 yrs and 5 months old has had sleep terrors since her 1st year. She would get up from sleep at night and look at one direction and sometimes even point to that direction and start crying loudly as if she is seeing something scary and crying. She would not even look at me.
It lasts for several minutes. It does not happen daily. 2 weeks back she had a focal seizure during her afternoon sleep when she got up and started shaking her left arm and left leg which then came to the left side of her face too (twitching) and then she started drooling.It lasted at least for 10 mins. She did not shout or anything when it started but, she looked at me when it started. She started crying once it was over. It was totally unprovoked.Last 2 days she has again started getting up in the night with a shout and starts to cry as if she has had a bad dream.I always felt that she doesn’t get enough quality sleep. I wanted to know more about such cases. What can I do? Is there any relation between these dreams and her seizure?
