Hello,
First, let me say thank you to everyone who responded to my earlier
questions about our adopted child.  I have another one.

Our child, who is 5 years old, usually takes an hour or hour and a half
nap in the afternoon.  It is almost impossible to wake him up from his
nap.  When we do try and wake him, he will often begin crying.  However,
it appears that he is not actually awake.  If you lay him back down, he
will instantly go back to sleep.  He will also not interact with us
during these episodes.  It can litterally take an hour for us to wake
him.  When he sleeps at night, he will wake on his own without any trouble.

This sounds similar to the description of night terrors, but I'm not
sure.  We tried just skipping his nap, but he will fall asleep on his
own at around 3-4 in the afternoon.

Has anyone ever experienced this?  Thanks!'
