Yes, night terrors can affect 9-year-old children, though they are more common in younger kids. During a night terror, a child may scream, thrash, or appear frightened while still being mostly unaware of their surroundings. These episodes typically occur during deep sleep and can be distressing for both the child and their parents, but they usually don't remember the event the next morning. While night terrors can be unsettling, most children outgrow them without lasting impact.
Night terrors can be caused by various factors, such as anxiety, stress, trauma, sleep deprivation, or certain medications. Genetics and family history may also play a role in predisposing individuals to night terrors. Additionally, underlying mental health conditions or sleep disorders like sleep apnea can contribute to experiencing night terrors.
First, have them evaluated for night terrors by a licensed psychiatrist. If they have night terrors, they are half awake, half asleep, which for a child is very very frightening. You may or may not be able to console them. If it is not night terrors, put them to bed later, make sure they're not hungry or have to use the bathroom, etc. After that, let them cry, so they learn that you are in charge, not them. Don't get me wrong. Tend to their needs, but if this is just simple manipulation (mommy or daddy individual time every night), you need to send a clear message by ignoring that behavior.
A nightmare is one of those dreams where, when you wake up, you thing "Oh, thank goodness. It was only a dream." Then you roll over and go back to sleep. Night terrors are dreams so vivid that you wake up thinking that the incident actually occurred, and may continue to think so until you are fully awake. Most people have them once or twice a year. If you are having night terrors regularly, you need to consult a professional and get some counseling. Frequent sleep disruptions are extremely bad for your physical and emotional health. Whatever you do, don't drink or take sleeping medications to avoid them. They do nothing to correct the underlying problem, and you will become dependent on the booze or meds to help you sleep, just adding another layer of problems.
