>> and they're going to be sweating. in the morning most kids will not remember this at all. nitmares, on the other hand, tend to happen later in the night when they're in r.e.m. sleep. they'll wake up crying, get out of bed and come to your room waking up frightened telling you, i i've had bad dream. very common for kids to have these separation dreams, daddy, i can't find you. mommy, i couldn't find you. >> now if your kid is having a night terror, what should you do? >> first thing is stay calm. we le to say wait it out. even though it feels like an eternity, most of them will last only one to two minutes, the second thing is they can be pretty violent when they're in that phase so make sure they don't ju themselves and move them away from stairs. usually they outgrow this by the ti they become t teenagers >> if they're having nightmares how should you handle that? >> a rescue kit. you want to empower them with ththings youave at home. a flashlight can help them. you can say use this in the middle of the night. i want to see you hold a teddy bear. >> this would help me. >> and this was suggested by our

pediatrician. you can make your own monster spray and fill it with water and say we're going to spray those monsters and you're going to be all good. good night. mwah. >> doc, you know what, thank you. that's a great idea. i know how i'm going to bed tonight. over to you, amy. >> all right, michael. you know what, a lot of people are losing sleep over "star wars," we can say that much. so much of the excitement is for the return of our favorite characters, luke, lee leia, han, and so thrilled to have the original space cowboy here this morning, welcome and good morning to you, harrison ford. >> good morning. >> you have had quite the year. i want to start because you are recovering from that plane crash earlier this year. how are you doing? how are you feeling? >> i'm doing great, thank you. thank you. i'm back playing tennis, riding my bikes and having a good time. >> getting back on the millennium falcon. i understand there was an accident too. originally reported it as a garage door accident. >> well, there was a door on the millennium falcon that got closed by accident on me.

>> a really good script, the opportunity to work with j.j. who i've admired, and it just seemed like a good idea. >> i think it's a great idea and i want to know a little bit more about han solo 30 yrs later. he was always the wise guy, but has he gotten wiser, less wise guy, more wise? >> i think he's got a more complex story now. a little bit more of an emotional context than perhaps there was before. but he's still -- he's still the same guy. >> romantically complex? i mean, what's his relationship status? can you tell us that? >> no. >> if he had a facebook account, what would it say? >> huh? >> if he had a facebook account, what would it say? >> i have no idea what facebook accounts do say. i don't have one. >> married, single, status. >> no, i can't go that far. >> all right. all ght. we'll have to wait and see.
