Dear worriedsick mom, I am a grandmother of a 7 yr old boy that I have been raising since birth. He suffers from night terrors and has for about 4 yrs now. He's gone through the sleep studies and cat scans and everything else. In fact he is considered the worse case his neuologist has ever seen. When this first came about, His pediatrcian suggested I buy a book by Dr. Richard Ferber that is called Sleep Disorders.What I can do is dig out that book for you and see if it gives any info on what your looking to find out. (RDI & PLMI). Will write you back if I find out any info for you. Believe me when I say that any sleep disorder in a child can be a very scarey thing and I do feel for you and your plight! Sincerely
