Night Terrors, Sleepwalking & the Night 6 Surprise (25 Months & Up | Day 6)
Welcome to Day 6 of the toddler sleep training course! Whether Night 5 brought some protest or not, don’t be surprised if regression shows up tonight instead—it’s common, and totally normal.
In today’s video, Dana Obleman covers some of the more confusing (and often scary) sleep hurdles toddlers face: night terrors, sleepwalking, and nightmares—and how to respond without undoing all your hard work.
😴 What you’ll learn in this video:
– The difference between night terrors and nightmares
– Why night terrors happen (and why they’re not as scary as they seem)
– What to do—and what not to do—if your child sleepwalks
– How to handle nightmares without reinforcing unwanted habits
– Why staying calm and consistent is the best way through
🛏️ Pro tip: Overtiredness is often the cause of night terrors and sleepwalking. As your child’s sleep improves, these episodes usually fade away on their own.
