It’s most likely not a nightmare, but a night terror. And there is something you can do tonight. Sereno guides you while it’s happening, helps you set up the night, and teaches you scheduled awakenings, a simple technique that helps many families see the episodes ease off.

What a night with Sereno
actually looks like.

The moment it happens, the gentle way to be there, and the 28-night program that walks with you. Real screens from the app, in English and Spanish.

THE QUESTIONS THAT STAY WITH YOU

They settle back to sleep.
You’re still trying to make sense of it.

“Should I wake them?” “Was that a nightmare?” “Could bedtime be part of it?” When you’re tired and worried, knowing where to start matters.

THE TECHNIQUE THAT MAKES THE DIFFERENCE

Scheduled awakenings,
just before their usual time.

Many children have their night terrors at a similar time each night. When that’s the case, pediatric guidance such as the NHS suggests gently waking your child 15 to 20 minutes before that time, for one to two weeks, to help break the cycle. Sereno makes it simple: you log your nights, it helps you see whether a time repeats and, if it does, reminds you in time and tells you what to do in one step.

  1. 1
    Log their nights

    To see whether a time repeats.

  2. 2
    Sereno suggests the time

    A few minutes before their usual window.

  3. 3
    One gentle touch

    Until they stir. Nothing more.

It helps many families, not all of them. That’s why Sereno also stays with you on the nights it happens anyway.
