Night terror (sleep terror) occurs during Stage 3 and Stage 4 sleep (deep sleep). The cause is unknown but night terrors are commonly associated with periods of emotional tension, stress, or conflict.

Night terror is similar to nightmares except that nightmares usually occur during REM sleep and include unpleasant or frightening dreams. Nightmares are most common in the early morning.

Night terrors occur usually in the first half of the night heralded by a scream. The child does not usually remember the details of the scare. Nightmares are normal on occasion, especially after frightening movies/TV shows or emotional situations.

Night terror occurs most often in preadolescent boys, although it can occur in girls and in adults. It is fairly common in children 3 to 5 years old, and incidence usually reduces greatly after that. It may run in families. Night terror can occur in adults, especially with emotional tension and/or the use of alcohol.

hope you guys got it...
it said it occurs during the deep sleep which is considered to be 3 and 4 and obviously after stage 4 , you go back to light sleep again. ; so the answer is from deep ( 3 and 4) to light..

  #9

Night terrors and Nightmares aren't the same things!
This is a case of night terror as specified above.
To the best of my knowledge Night terror occurs in REM sleep(as the answer is)
While nightmare occurs in stage 3 and 4.
