Answer to Question 1

Parents can do the following: (1) Limit fluid intake later in the day. (2) Wake the child during the night and encourage him or her to go to the bathroom. (3) Use a night light so when children do wake up they can find their way to the bathroom. (4) Maintain a consistent sleep schedule. (5) Protect the bed with two layers of plastic and cloth sheets, alternating like a sandwich.. If the child wets the bed, the top wet sheet and plastic sheet can be pulled off and a clean and dry cloth and plastic sheet remain. (6) Have the child help wash the sheets and make the bed, so the child sees the consequences of the bed-witting. (7) Reward the child for making it through the night, by keeping a calendar and providing rewards for success. (8) Keep positive. Talk with the child about staying dry rather than not wetting..

Answer to Question 2

Sleep terrors are usually more severe than nightmares. Nightmares tend to occur during REM sleep while sleep terrors occur during deep sleep. Sleep terrors decline with age for a child and are associated with stressful change, such as moving to a new house and divorce.
