This sounds incredibly tough and your concern is completely valid. What you are describing seems like sleep terrors, where a child may scream, kick or seem scared while still asleep. They usually have no memory of it afterward. Things to know and try: Do not try to wake her during an episode, just ensure she is safe. Emotional stress during the day, even if unspoken, can show up during sleep. Keep bedtime calm and consistent. Let her express herself during the day through drawing, free play or storytelling. If the episodes are regular, try gently waking her about 15 minutes before the usual time it happens to break the cycle. You are clearly in tune with her. A psychologist can help further

This could be due her feelings being restricted or misunderstood during waking hours.

Hi, Consult a psychologist to find out the root cause

From what you've described, it sounds like your daughter might be experiencing night terrors, which are different from nightmares. These episodes often occur in deep sleep and involve screaming, thrashing, and unresponsiveness to comfort. They’re typically not remembered by the child and may be worsened by emotional stress, suppressed feelings, or sleep disruptions. Your instinct about emotional suppression could be valid—children often express what they can't put into words through behavior.

Thank you for sharing your concerns in such detail. Based on your description, the behavior observed during sleep—aggression without waking, intense emotional reactions, and episodes that subside without interference—could be suggestive of a condition known as sleep terrors (or night terrors). These are a type of parasomnia typically seen in children but can also affect some individuals at other ages. During a sleep terror episode, the individual may appear awake but is actually in a deep state of non-REM sleep and is usually unaware of their surroundings.

Hi, It sounds like your daughter's sleep behaviors are causing concern, and it's understandable to feel worried about her well-being. The actions you describe—screaming, hitting, kicking, and not opening her eyes—may be indicative of night terrors or episodes of intense dreaming rather than nightmares, which often occur during deep sleep and can cause children to react violently or seem distressed without fully waking. These episodes can be frightening for both the child and the family, especially since she becomes more agitated when approached. Your instinct that her daytime experiences might be affecting her sleep is insightful; children often process emotions and frustrations through their sleep behaviors, especially if they feel unable to express or resist controlling behaviors during the day. It’s important to consult a pediatrician or a child sleep specialist to evaluate her sleep patterns and behavior in detail. They can help determine whether these episodes are night terrors, sleepwalking, or another sleep disorder, and provide strategies to ensure her safety and emotional comfort. Additionally, creating a calm bedtime routine, ensuring she feels secure, and encouraging her to express her feelings during the day can help reduce nighttime episodes. Professional guidance will be crucial to address her needs effectively and ensure her emotional and physical well-being.

Hi...Try involving her in a sport or physical activity during the day time to channelize out all the nagative energy she might have accumulated. Also, try to be more accepting and encouraging towards her at this age. Kids at this age respond to how adults are dealing with them. If you let her be herself and be loving and accepting, she might reciprocate this feeling and feel secure. If this condition persists, you may visit a Pediatrician.

Please consider taking her to therapy where she can open up to a psychologist and talk about her fears and phobias. She need to speak out about these fears to a therapist who can treat her without any judgement and assure safely and confidentiality.
