After consulting Dr Google, I think that DS has started having night terrors. For awhile now we've found him sleep walking every now and then, but the last couple of nights we've experienced something totally different. I can really only describe it as a tantrum in his sleep where he is crying and thrashing around inconsolably. From what I've read it all seem pretty 'text book' (same time each night, unaware that we're there, finish as abruptly as they start etc etc) except for one thing - we're getting them twice a night. One about an hour after he goes to sleep (8.30pm ish) but then again at around 1.30am.

The different bits and pieces I've read do vary a bit in how they describe the typical night terror. But there is one thing that has stuck in my mind. On one US site they had a few scenarios where you should seek medical advice. One of those was if they occur in the second part of the night. This was the only place I saw it, but now I'm wondering if we should visit the GP...

But on the flip side, it's only been the last two nights (mind you, thinking about it now I'm sure that we may have had one or two other occassions like this in the past). I kinda feel like I should wait it out a bit longer before taking action...

What would you do? What's your experience with night terrors been?
