Prevention

If your child has several night terrors, you can try to interrupt his/her sleep in order to prevent the night terror.

• Note how many minutes the night terror occurs from your child's bedtime.
  
• Then, awaken your child 15 minutes before the expected night terror, and keep him/her awake and out of bed for 5 minutes. You may want to take your child to the bathroom to see if he/she will urinate.
  
• Continue this routine for a week.
