What Causes Sudden Awakening And Disturbed Sleep In A Child?
Hi, my 22 month old has suddenly started waking in the night and refusing to go back in his cot. He is screaming when he wakes and last night felt cold/clammy to the touch on the back of his neck and face. It is out of character for him to wake like this in the night, and he is staying awake for hours. any advice as to what may cause this?

This may be due to night terrors which is common in this age group. See a pediatric sleep specialist.
