PSYCHOLOGY OF EMOTIONS

Detailed explanation-1: -Why Does My Child Cry at Bedtime? Sometimes, your child acquires big feelings about a certain time or experience. Anything that feels like that past time triggers more big feelings, almost as if they are reliving that past hardship for the first time. Other times they are facing tough times in the present.

Detailed explanation-2: -There are other reasons why your child might wake up at night. These include illness, being too hot or cold, hunger, nightmares, and night terrors. These tend to get better with time and don’t last. To learn how to deal with this see Nightmares and Sleep Terrors.

Detailed explanation-3: -Sleep terrors, also known as night terrors, are perhaps the most frightening of the parasomnias. Children with sleep terrors may sweat, scream or sit up in bed during an episode. Sleep terrors are not nightmares. Instead, unlike nightmares, which occur during REM sleep, sleep terrors happen during non-REM sleep.

Detailed explanation-4: -For many children, their difficulties falling or staying asleep stem from their daytime habits or how they spend their time right before bed. Eating too much sugary food during the day, for example, or watching TV right before bed could be enough to disrupt your child’s sleep.
