Question: My daughter is 7 years old. For the last 2 weeks she has been waking up with night terrors. She leaps up crying and sweating, teeth chattering and asking for help. It is very upsetting, most of the time she goes back to sleep rather quickly but other times she will keep waking up every 15 minutes or so.
I have stopped her from watching any TV or computer time 1 hour before bed. It worked for one night and then she still woke up with the sleep terror the next night. My pediatrician told me to give her 30C of Stramonium which has been impossible to find, but I have ordered it online and it should be here this week.When she was very young she did wake up from short naps sometimes confused and crying, but that hasn’t happened in many years, until 2 weeks ago. Any suggestions on what could be causing this?
