night frights
Scary nocturnal episodes
Night frights are episodes of intense fear or terror during sleep, especially in young children.
The child may scream, thrash, or appear awake but remain unresponsive and have no memory of the episode afterward.
Also called night terrors or sleep terrors.
Our son had night frights until he was about six.
