How do you get rid of nightmare panic?
Get out your bedroom and walk into another room. It helps to turn on some dim lighting and bring yourself back into consciousness. Have some water or juice..maybe listen to some music for 5 minutes or watch tv for a bit. Read a bit from a book. Take some deep breaths. The key is to get up out of bed and away from the location you were experiencing the panic. Then once your mind is out of the nightmare, go back to sleep.

What does it mean to yell out no repeatedly in your sleep?
Yelling out No in your sleep? Hmm sounds like your having Night Terrors. These occur at any age. Night Terrors usally occur when you havn't had enough sleep or if your stressed. Normally subjects who have Night Terrors remember their vivid dream. During the time of a Night Terror subjects thrash around, scream, and sometimes are aware of the people trying to wake them. Fallowing a Night Terror subjects find it hard to fall asleep again resulting in minor Imsamnia until they are comfortable again. People with Night Terrors usally sleepwalk afterwards or have Lucid Dreams and Micro Sleeping.
Just to explain the few others that I listed above and a few other related topics.
Imsamnia- hard time falling/staying asleep
Lucid Dreams- dreams in which the subject awakens in their dream and contenues with their daily rituals exmap: getting ready for school/work. It's often recalled as a dream inside a dream. Sometimes in Lucid Dreams one repeats this over and over again. For example I one experianced Lucid Dreaming and got ready for school, opened the door to leave and found myself waking up again and repeating the proscess over and over until my alarm woke me up and I really did go to school.
Micro Sleeping/Napping- After long periods of lack of sleep or no sleep, one's brain will temporarily shut you body down as if you were sleeping. This can happen at anytime and without warning. The subject is aware of reality and their dream, often confusing the two. This causes axiety when woken and only last up to a minute.
Why do you have to sleep north south?
Some people feel that sleeping with your head to the North (in the northern hemisphere) or South (in the southern hemisphere), helps align your body with magnetic poles and reduce the chance of you having insomnia. Although, other "experts" will tell you never to sleep with your head towards the north, because the magnetic forces will pull the good energy out of your body. However I could not find any documented scientific evidence of anything related to the direction of your sleeping patters. Additionally, several people believe that it is bad luck to sleep with your head facing East.
There is no scientific evidence to say which, if any, is better. There are however many charlatans that would be willing to convince you otherwise.
Perhaps this question will spark some lively discussion in the discussion area about personal preferences of the direction your head should face while you sleep. It would be interesting to hear from people who live in both the northern and southern hemispheres to see if they have different preferences. It also would be helpful for everyone interested in this subject to read about any scientific studies related to sleeping positions and directions.

While 1/3rd of ALL people have experienced sleep paralysis at one time or another in their life, it usually goes away. Individuals who experience sleep paralysis consistently and frequently may have a sleep disorder called narcolepsy.
What is the lethal dose of sleeping pill?
The answer is complicated it depends on the medication and the person taking it.
My question is why do you want to know? I am guessing either you can't sleep and are taking too much already or you want to kill yourself. Go to your doctor either way and they can help you if you are honest with them.
What you're experiencing may be a form of parasomnia, specifically sleep talking (somniloquy) and possibly sleep acting (somnambulism or sleepwalking). These behaviors often occur during the deeper stages of sleep and can lead to actions that you don't recall upon waking. It's advisable to consult a sleep specialist to assess your situation further, as they can provide guidance and potential treatment options to ensure your safety and well-being.
Do you need to see a doctor if you cant stop yawning?
Yes, and the sooner the better. You could possibly have sleep apnea, a condition that prevents a person from getting to the deep "REM" stage of sleep. Ask your doctor for a "sleep study," and if an apnea (an interruption of sleep where the pallet temporarily closes off the airway to the lungs) is diagnosed, there is a simple non-surgical treatment available: using a C-PAP (Continuous Positive Air Pressure) machine, which keeps that pallet airway open all night long. I've been a user of a C-PAP for almost three years now and absolutely love this machine. Mine has a humidifier attached (uses distilled water) for those times when the ambient air is too dry. Most insurance companies will pay for such a medical device.

Why would your cardiologist ask you how many pillows you sleep on?
This might be an indication of how poor your heart is functioning. This question is seeking to answer for something called orthopnea, which is shortness of breath with the change in body position. If positive, this may be a sign of pulmonary edema/effusion, which is fluid in the lungs/chest cavity. When a person with this condition sits up, the fluid would collect at the bottom of the chest cavity and he/she can breath easier, so these patients cannot sleep comfortably while laying flat.
