Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Night terrors are characterized by sudden arousal from sleep, accompanied by fear and confusion, and often with uncontrollable crying or screaming. They occur during non-REM sleep and are more common in children, but can also affect adults. Nightmares and somnambulism (sleepwalking) can also cause sudden awakening from sleep, but they usually occur during REM sleep. Hypersomnia is excessive sleepiness or prolonged daytime sleep.
