FAQ: How Are Night Terrors Different from Nightmares? (Koala Center for Sleep Disorders)
Night Terrors and Nightmares are not the same thing. Nightmares are bad dreams that occur during REM sleep, and the person usually wakes up from the dream and remembers it. Night terrors, on the other hand, happen during deep, non-REM sleep. The person remains asleep and is often difficult to wake, with no memory of the event the next day. If you're unsure which you or a loved one are experiencing, Koala Center for Sleep Disorders can provide a clear diagnosis.
