Maybe give some free advice about: Illnesses?
She should have someone stay with her while she gets her rest then leaves when her husband gets home.

Actually, night terrors have nothing to do with how tired you may be.They are like having a bad dream.9 x out of 10 they aren't even remembered by the person having them. So, don't really know exactly what you want but I wouldn't worry about your aunt. She will survive fine.:)

Offer to help..im sure she would appreciate it. Even if you just watch the baby for a couple hours during the day so she can get a nap in..im sure she would love it..maybe sometimes you can stay over until midnight. Any extra rest she can get would be greatly appreciated..so by just heling out a little..it would do a lot for her.

I'm not sure what youre asking...does she need help because she doesnt want to have night terrors while she and the baby are the only ones there or does she need someone to help her out and take care of the baby while ur uncle is gone? I'm going to assume shes concerned with the night terrors...so here goes: Fatigue and psychological stress plays a major role in the occurence of night terrors, so her not getting enough sleep actually adds to the recurrences. Stress also provokes incidences...if she knos exactly about what time they happen (like, one hour after she falls asleep, or two hours)...she can set her alarm for thirty min. before it usually happens, then stay awake for about five min. and then go back to sleep...this will help subdue the night terrors. i guess if shes desperate, she can just sleep for a little while, wake up, then go back to sleep again. there are also medications that can help.

maybe you could go over and stay a couple nights a week so she can go to bed or your parents or siblings could too.i'm sure it will work
