My daughter had a sleep study done because we thought she had OSA (obstruction sleep apnea) due to large tonsils. It turns out that she might have had a sleep terror also. She always woke up with a blood curdling scream and a look of “possesed” on her face. I have never put the 2 and 2 together but I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this? My daughter is 2 1/2.

I had night terrors as a child up until about age 12. I would wake up screaming my belly hurt. I didn’t have sleep apnea until just recently though.
Before getting treatment for my sleep apnea I had night terrors all the time. Just think of it as your brain’s way of telling you something is not right.
