screens and nightmares
3 years ago
My son wakes up a lot at night, starts to cry, and then goes back to sleep, I don't understand what is going on with him, Is he having nightmares or is it just a habit?
Answer
It depends on what time he wakes up. If he wakes up within the first hour of sleep it's probably night terrors that he is getting. There is nothing to worry about. If this is the early hours of the morning it still is probably another nightmare he remembers. He eventually will outgrow the same. So nothing to be worried about.
