Night Terrors

The duration of Terror by Night is 3600.0 seconds.

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

NO. according to the letter my son received from the Dept of Defense.

Yes, night terrors can affect 9-year-old children, though they are more common in younger kids. During a night terror, a child may scream, thrash, or appear frightened while still being mostly unaware of their surroundings. These episodes typically occur during deep sleep and can be distressing for both the child and their parents, but they usually don't remember the event the next morning. While night terrors can be unsettling, most children outgrow them without lasting impact.

Yes, night terrors in children can be associated with a history of seizures, particularly if the seizures occurred during sleep. The brain's activity during seizures may influence sleep patterns and contribute to the occurrence of night terrors. However, it's important to note that night terrors can also have other causes, such as stress, fatigue, or sleep deprivation. A medical professional should evaluate any concerns regarding night terrors and their potential links to past seizures.

Yes he says that he got them during his child hood after his dad died

LAfter taking Tylenol 0-2 hours before sleep, I consistently wake up after a few hours due to a severe nightmare. Other Tylenol usage is asymptomatic. The nightmare is followed by a vivid sensation of shaking ground and pulsating environment (one pulse per 2 sec. or so), accompanied with terror. This sensation lasts for about 30 min, then it gradually wears off. I have been experiencing this from childhood till approx. 16 years age. I have not taken Tylenol before sleep ever since but I believe nothing has changed. Will try when I am sick next time.

Sleep terror disorder is a parasomnia in which the patient awakens screaming or crying. The patient also has physical signs of arousal, like sweating, shaking, etc. It is sometimes referred to as pavor nocturnus.

Night terrors are a type of sleep disorder characterized by sudden awakening from sleep with feelings of terror or fear. They typically occur during non-REM sleep stages and are more common in children. Night terrors are different from nightmares and the person experiencing them may not fully wake up or remember the episode.

This question cannot be answered in terms of "ever." Each person is an individual, and it is not impossible that someone, somewhere, at some time developed some sort of phobia as a result of night terrors. But generally speaking, the one problem would not necessarily cause the other.

Consulting with a healthcare professional to address the root cause of night terrors is recommended. Non-medication strategies, such as establishing a bedtime routine, reducing stress before bed, and creating a comfortable sleep environment, may help manage night terrors. In severe cases, medication may be prescribed by a doctor to help manage and reduce night terrors.

At least, I got this off the episodes.

tick tock, goes the clock, and what then shall we see?

tick tock, until the day, that thou shalt marry me,

tick tock, goes the clock, and all the years they fly,

tick tock, and all too soon, you and i must die,

tick tock, goes the clock, we laughed at fate and mourned her,

tick tock, goes the clock, even for the doctor,

tick tock, goes the clock, he cradled and he rocked her,

tick tock, goes the clock, even for the doctor,

tick tock, goes the clock, tick tock, goes the clock,

tick tock, goes the clock,

doctor, brave and good, he turned away from violence,

when he understood the falling of the silence,

tick tock, goes the clock, he cradled and he rocked her,

tick tock, goes the clock, til river kills the doctor,

tick tock, goes the clock, and all the years they fly,

tick tock, and all too soon, your love will surley die,

You Freak the hell out
