Detailed explanation-1: -Sleep terrors differ from nightmares. The dreamer of a nightmare wakes up from the dream and may remember details, but a person who has a sleep terror episode remains asleep. Children usually don’t remember anything about their sleep terrors in the morning.
Detailed explanation-2: -Night terrors and nightmares are different and happen at different stages of sleep. During a night terror you may talk and move about but are asleep. It’s rare to remember having a night terror. Nightmares are bad dreams you wake up from and can remember.
Detailed explanation-3: -Sleep happens in several stages. We have dreams-including nightmares-during the rapid eye movement (REM) stage. Night terrors happen during deep non-REM sleep. A night terror is not technically a dream, but more like a sudden reaction of fear that happens during the transition from one sleep stage to another.
Detailed explanation-4: -In addition to episodes of intense crying and fear during sleep, with difficulty waking the child, symptoms of night terrors may also include: Tachycardia (increased heart rate) Tachypnea (increased breathing rate)
Detailed explanation-5: -According to current diagnostic classifications, nightmares are defined as frightening or disturbing dreams that awaken the sleeper while bad dreams are defined as frightening or disturbing dreams that do not awaken the sleeper (Hasler & Germain, 2009; Nadorff et al., 2014).
