Midnight eyes open
Night waking is the pattern of repeatedly waking during the night, especially in infants and young children.
Pediatricians and sleep consultants discuss night waking as a normal developmental phase that most children outgrow: The baby's night wakings decreased after six months.
Adults may experience night waking due to stress, illness, or sleep disorders.
