The causes of insomnia in children

We, too, adults, reveals to us and sometimes nightmares. And a boy of nine, ten, eleven, is still a child, and every child is subject to growth crisis that generate anxiety. Admittedly, there are more quiet than other years, but the development crisis reappeared from time to time. In a few more manifest than in others and in different ways. The sleep disorders are a way to externalize something that happens.

The causes of distress may vary. For example, feelings of guilt, that at this age can have different sources: the sexual curiosity, the school problems ... There are also tensions with colleagues, feelings of inferiority or inadequacy in front of family demands or school (or that the child is imposed).

Not forgetting the causes of distress that may occur at any age: jealousy between siblings, tension between parents ... Also events of the past that have not been well assimilated can leave a residue of anxiety and upset the dream: the death of a family, disputes between parents ...

Also frequent are the anxieties caused by the vision or knowledge of tragic events: accidents, assaults ... that dramatize even more if the parents themselves are transmitted to the child anxious and fearful their mentality of the world.

Nightmares or sleep terror?

Every night we dream about five or six times. The dreams of boys under the age of four are still very structured, and little action. But, at the age of five or six years, are beginning to be dynamic, with an increasingly complex, but almost never the small acts by itself but it is the passive victim of the actions of others. So, not surprisingly, are especially terrifying.

It should make clear that a nightmare is not the same as the so-called night terror. In this case, the child wakes up out of his mind, screaming and visibly frightened. Do not know where it is, nor responds to the words of parents. After five or ten minutes everything happened. The small it turns around and still sleeping. The next morning not remember anything.

Some sleep researchers, the explanation for this phenomenon is clearly organicist: at each stage of sleep light (in which we dream) is followed by another deep sleep. When the child is unable to move from one phase to another, it appears the night terror.

The measurements of brain activity, the heartbeat and respiratory rate show that all these activities corporal was shot in seconds. It is advisable to caress the child, but should not try to wake him. Some doctors assume that it is hereditary, others that can be triggered by lack of sleep.

And, of course, continues to have great weight psychoanalytic interpretations of these terrors as a symptom of a more serious emotional conflict and deep on that parents should think or even go to a psychologist.

While the night terror has no positive role, dreams are necessary, even nightmares. Through them, children are freed from many of the tensions that can not be disposed of during the day.

Often the kids express their feelings to go to any animal, ogre or monster mix of both. Not usually a very complex symbolism, but at times, even as these dreams require a simple key to understanding them.

For example, a crocodile-or any other monster with many teeth-symbolizes aggressiveness. But what kind of aggressiveness is, it depends on each child and their personal circumstances.

Perhaps afraid of being devoured by his own mother ( "You besos to eat"), who out of pure love overprotecting or, perhaps, what dominates and does not leave space for independence. A wolf that chases the small could symbolize a father too authoritarian.

Children who were sleeping in class...

In adapting to school, young children may have trouble sleeping, as well as presenting a completely irregular sleep with nightmares included.

Teachers can check determined drowsiness and lack of focus on children, which often leads to contact their parents to detail the situation, and indicating the low academic performance of their children.

However, if these symptoms persist, it is very convenient to carry out a consultation with the pediatrician's small.

What to do when this happens?

No matter what the reason, only the fact of altering the timing, harms the body of children, besides creating these disorders at the time of returning to school. Should not try to shift too much of the time that it is routine in times of classes.

A couple of weeks before the start of classes, it is recommended that children begin to dinner early and with lighter foods. Furthermore, those activities undertaken after dinner, they should be quiet, such as board games. Should be avoided watching television at night, and since Queues tardecita avoid drinks, coffee and chocolate.

Another very important point, are the usual rush of the morning: the children who go to school without breakfast not only pay less but also have an important trend to obesity.

The return to school after a long vacation, for some children is part of a routine to which they are adapted without problem. By contrast, others find it much more difficult. This happens especially in those smaller, stimulated by the excitement of the reunion with his friends, as well as by the fear of separation from their parents.

Dream with snakes

Dream with snakes is synonymous with fear. They appear in nightmares, and they are the animals most recurrent. They are the eternal principle and never ending.

As you can see, the serpent is still in close connection with everything related to sex, not only on their use illustrative, represents the temptation of evil, but also symbolically to explain their appearances in our bedroom. An ambiguous fear among the attraction and rejection.

The babies have nightmares?

While sleeping, babies go through statements and pleasant displacenteros. Some authors relate this with the dream and, if the human dream has beautiful dreams and ugly, also have babies.

From seeing UFOs to be kidnapped: abduction

The phenomenon of abductions is dated from a day of September 1961 when the marriage Hill-Americans, Barney, color, and Betty, white-believe being persecuted by a light and decide to turn onto secondary roads to dodge.

After peripecia, arriving at his home in Portsmouth two hours later. In the following days, Betty begins to read books on UFOs and suffer nightmares. Concerned, go to a psychiatrist Benjamin Simon v under hypnosis, told a story terrifying: had been subjected to medical examination in a flying saucer and, after erase the memory, were released, which would explain that feeling of lost time, a feature that ended become a standard test unequivocal apparent abduction.

Anyway, if Hill would not have passed the file psychiatrist but for the pen of journalist John G. Fuller, who 5 years later published Journey interrupted.

We well recognize the typical ingredients for a "case of abduction": extraterrestrial playing doctors, cairctcras secondary, time lost, erased from memory ...

While UFO sightings and, more importantly, those who claim to have contact with aliens, have been and are branded as suffering from some psychopathology, the truth is that the studies conducted on psychiatric mud in the 90's, show what contrallo.

Infantile nightmares

Regarding the infantile fear, this is relatively easy of reducing: coarse with redear to the boy of an environment in the one that feel safe and understood. Now then, many psychologists affirm that, the children with dysfunctions of dream, night nightmares and even fear to sleep, they are expressing a family problem that you are to try before you get complicated.

The infantile neuroses should be previously to the consolidation of the problem in issue; otherwise your sequels will crawl a lifetime.

You are communio to hear in the queries, so fatidical reflexines as for ejemlo this: "Not I can accept an invitation, I cannot leave my house." Many experts consider these dysfunctions fruit of an interior conflict that the person has not been able to overcome in your moment and that you should be compensated in some way.

for other side, you are normal that the phobic one rejects your problem: you prefer to forget it and to avoid as much as possible, what frighten you. The own feature of the phobia like sequence of a traumatic association of the childhood, note us to a solution: you should be related with a positive sensation.
