Keep the room safe in case of sleepwalking. Avoid upper bunks and keep the floor free of dangerous obstructions. Warn baby-sitters or other family members and let them know how to deal with night terrors. Keep your child on a regular schedule of meal times, bed times and rising times. Make sure the child goes to the bathroom before going to bed.
Night terrors can sometimes cause bedwetting.
Check for fever or illness that may be causing the night terrors. Night terrors often occur about the same time every night. Set the alarm and wake your child before the terror begins. If the night terrors happen often or are particularly disturbing to you or your child, discuss the problem with your doctor. Ask your doctor if he can prescribe any medication that might help.
