Could it be happening again??!
Question: Could it be happening again!?!?
So when I was younger i had night terrors I do not remember them but my parents have told me about them!. Today I was thinking on somethings that have happend and wonder if its night terrors again or something else!. I will be sleeping and having a nightmare and will scream out or cry in my sleep (my husband is on sleep meds so he dont wake) I then hear the sound of my scream in my dream and then realize I am a sleep and force my self awake!. ( It takes me a min to realize i'm sleeping and need to wake and I have to fight hard to wake up) could this be a night terror!. I'm just wondering if anyone knows and/or goes through this!. I do have a hard time sleeping It takes for ever for me to sleep and I wake constantly through out the night!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
The sleep disorder of night terrors typically occurs in children aged 3-12 years, with a peak onset in children aged 3? years!.
Sleep is divided into 2 categories: rapid eye movement (REM) and nonrapid eye movement (non-REM)!. Non-REM sleep is further divided into 4 stages, progressing from stages 1-4!. Night terrors occur during the transition from stage 3 non-REM sleep to stage 4 non-REM sleep, beginning approximately 90 minutes after the child falls asleep!.
Night terrors are distinctly different from the much more common nightmares, which occur during REM sleep!. Night terrors are characterized by frequent recurrent episodes of intense crying and fear during sleep, with difficulty arousing the child!. Night terrors are frightening episodes that disrupt family life!.
An estimated 1-6% of children experience night terrors!. Boys and girls are equally affected!. Children of all races also seem to be affected equally!. The disorder usually resolves during adolescence!.

I get them though still at 28 years old!. I scream out, also get violent (kicking and punching while in it) and my husband has a hard time waking me!. It's not often, or as often as it used to be but it's maybe once-twice a month!. Sometimes more often, I think depending on my stress level!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Well when you were young and had night terrors what did your parents think caused them!? Only they would know what tramatized you at a very young age!. Sit down with them and find out what's up!. If you don't like their answer then go to a physco and get hipnotized, it was probably related to some type of child abuse!. or sexual abuse!.
