night terror

My daughter is 23 and as far as I know, she never experienced night terror.  Like most children, she had her share of bad dreams now and then, but nothing that caused us concern.  A Facebook friend, Anna brought night terror to my attention because she is asking if others have experienced this and what can be done about it.  It isn't talked about much, can we help her?

Let's start this off by saying I didn't really get much sleep last night because of something that happens once in a while in our house.  In the past 6 months a pretty scary thing for a parent has been occurring with our 4 year old.  They're called Night Terrors and only happen to 1%-6% of people.
