If she doesn't wake up even when she is crying and shouting it is night terror. You need to speak to her softly in a reassuring voice and do not try to wake her up or stimulate her in any way. http://www.babycenter.com/0_night-terrors_142.bc

I believe in what the older say. 'They played too much during the day time. Especially shouting & screaming.' Try to massage the child before he/she goes to sleep. It do help for my child.

Yes, it sounds like she is overstimulated. There was a night where my daughter started wailing inconsolably in the evening. We figured it was because we brought her out that day.

This sounds like night terrors. My son gets this occasionally too. You can go to http://www.webmd.com/sleep-disorders/night-terrors for more info.

It could be a bad dream he/she is experiencing. Try to cuddle your baby and sing and soothe him/her. A parent's scent can work wonders!

It could be overtired or overstimulated during daytime. Try to cut down activities during daytime and plan for a more relaxed schedule.

my son often does the same thing. I think it happens if he did some tantrum before bed time.

thanks
