Our daughter (turning 4 in April) has suddenly developed whatI can only describe as Night Terrors.

For the past couple of nights, she's wake up screaming blue murder, saying there's either:
- something in her bed
- the shadows are going to hurt her

She's also started refusing to go to sleep with the light off - something she's down with no problems since birth!

What could be causing this all of a sudden?

She's not watching anything out of the ordinary on TV, apart from her usual intake, she eats and sleeps well, no problems at school etc.

Any ideas or thoughts?

thanks,
Stephan
