Sleep Walking or Night Terror?!
Question: Sleep Walking or Night Terror!?
Hello all!.
I have a friend who spends the night at my house frequently!. However if we stay up too late (as in 2am) he gets really tired (duh) however later that night or that morning he will wake up!. Not fully awake but in the middle of a bad dream!. Screaming bloody murder and running down our hallway!. It takes a while to wake him up and when he does he doesnt remember anything!. And it is too weird because in his little "episode" he lies and says that he is not "sleep walking" then once we leave him alone he is at it again!. What is he suffering from!.
btw he is 15 and he has had this since he was 13Www@Answer-Health@Com

Answers:
exactly what you just said he has night terrors and he sleep walks during them!.!. he does not remember that this occurs which usually means its a night terror because most the time you remember all or at least a bit of nightmares!.!. things can also make him remember the next morning like lets say if he slept walked and had a night terror and knocked a picture off the wall!.!. the next morning he will have no idea that he was out of his bed and having a night terror but if that picture is still on the floor it actually can jog his memory and he may remember waking up from the night terror (if he does wake up) !.!. he can get this from a lot of stuff including not enough sleep or being stressed for example!.!. if going to bed earlier and getting more sleep and eating better doesn't eventually help he can go get checked out by a sleep technician or just a doctor and they can help him stop having night terrors and sleep walking!.!. i just did a whole project on sleeping walking and night terrors!.!. here are some sites if he would like to read more on it!.!.

Hummm - how interesting is this! He didn't suffer any accident or injury involving his brain, did he!?
You know what it sounds like - a very rare form of epilepsy called "psycho-motor"!. A person might have a seizure which might be slight enough not to look like a seizure!. But then he can get to his feet and run - but nobody's home and he's terrified!. You say he's screaming during this!?
I've seen it - it's a nasty form of epilepsy and I sure hope I'm wrong!. You might ask the family doctor about this!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Its a night terror!. If it was just a nightmare or soemthing they can normally later on remember it, but if he never knows what happened, then it sounds like a night terror!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
