Distinguish between nightmares and sleep terrors
What will be an ideal response?
They include nightmares (repeated awakenings, with frightening dreams that you usually remember), sleep terrors (abrupt awakening, accompanied by autonomic arousal but no recall), and sleepwalking (getting out of bed and walking around, but with no recall the next day). Nightmares occur during rapid-eye-movement (REM) (dream) sleep, usually during the second half of the sleep period, whereas sleep terrors and sleep walking occur during non-REM (NREM) sleep (for this reason, DSM-5 combines sleep terrors and sleepwalking into one category: NREM sleep arousal disorders). Sleep terrors and sleepwalking occur during deep sleep in the first third of the sleep cycle, when the person is so soundly asleep that he or she is difficult to arouse and has no recall of the episode the next morning (Reid et al., 2009).
