What stage of sleep Night terrors occur?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Night terrors typically occur during non-REM (rapid eye movement) sleep, specifically during stages 3 and 4 of the sleep cycle. These stages are the deepest and most restorative stages of sleep, which can make it difficult for a person experiencing a night terror to fully wake up or be responsive.

Asked by Wiki User

There is no direct connection between epilepsy and night terrors. While both conditions can affect sleep patterns, they are separate disorders with different underlying causes. However, in some cases, individuals with epilepsy may also experience night terrors, but the presence of one does not necessarily cause the other.

There is no exact science behind night terrors. The definition of night terrors is typically considered the extreme and amplified sequence of nightmares which cause trauma to the body and mind. Night terrors can occur from emotional and mental health problems arising from recent trauma in a persons life, even children. It is not the ONLY cause of night terrors. Some people will produce more of a certain type of chemical which helps regulate sleep and it can cause extreme nightmares (night terrors) It may also be a product of wild imaginations. Parents should also watch the content their children are viewing on television prior to their sleep to check for patterns. It is typically advised that a person should not watch television 1-2 hours prior to going to sleep as this interferes with REM sleep which may be another cause of night terrors

How are nightmares different from night terrors?

Asked by Chazlyn

A nightmare is one of those dreams where, when you wake up, you thing "Oh, thank goodness. It was only a dream." Then you roll over and go back to sleep.

Night terrors are dreams so vivid that you wake up thinking that the incident actually occurred, and may continue to think so until you are fully awake. Most people have them once or twice a year. If you are having night terrors regularly, you need to consult a professional and get some counseling. Frequent sleep disruptions are extremely bad for your physical and emotional health. Whatever you do, don't drink or take sleeping medications to avoid them. They do nothing to correct the underlying problem, and you will become dependent on the booze or meds to help you sleep, just adding another layer of problems.

What age is too old for night terrors?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

There is no age limit. Children can often have bad nighmares, but also men that come home from war can as well. To this day the survivors of the Vietnam War can still have "night terrors." Often I have heard they will hide in a dark closet and cover their ears. Trauma can cause night terrors such as being stalked, raped, abused by a family member or even a bad car accident. In children if the parent calms the child down and talks about it, leaves a small light on or, in some cases when they are very young letting them sleep with the parent the child will out-grow it. Unfortunately, unless psychological counseling can help some of the poor vets or trauma victims there is not a 100% guarantee that even psychology can help them. However, I saw a program not long ago (will do the research and post on it) that there is medication to actually block the trauma out of the brain and it's working! It is tested on humans and the FDA is in the midst of approving it and the Army is MOST interested in it. Gee, I wonder why! I promise to post more information on this new medication ASAP
