   Extractions: After spending the last 15+ years of my life experiencing night terrors, I decided to find out more about this sleep disorder. I hope the following will help shed some light on the subject. The first thing I found was that this problem goes by a few different names. Sleep Terrors, Sleep Terror Disorder, Night Terrors, Pavor Nocturnus and then the mouthful DSM-IV AXIS I: 307.46 are just a few. This fact made it very difficult to do an internet search for more information. Another problem I ran into was that HSP (Hallucinatory sleep disorder) has some similarities to Night Terrors. I have included information about sleep paralysis to help you figure out which you may have.

This page is brought to you by the UC Berkeley Parents Network Back to Advice about Sleep From: Janis Our 31 month old son is beginning to experience night terrors. He screams for 45 minutes to an hour and nothing we do can console him. I've read a lot about this but I am hoping some of you might have some practical hints. We cannot leave him in his bed because he shares the bedroom with his brother. When we hold him he thrashes around wildly and usually manages to sock one of us. The same thing happens if we try to bring him to bed with us. I am afraid this is just one of those things we have to ride out but if any of you have had any experience in either avoiding or lessening the severity of these attacks, I would love to hear about it. Thanks. Janis From: Helen From: Roger Janis, Our kids have all suffered from night terrors. They were usually brought on by: a. Change of schedule or routine.

   Extractions: Night Terrors Silvia Helena Cardoso, PhD and Renato M.E. Sabbatini, PhD Diagnosis Causes Treatment To Know More ... Credits T errifying dreams are part of human nature: there are very few persons who have never had a nightmare sometime in life. As the picture above shows, the ancient Greeks even thought that during nightmare one is dominated by an " incubus " (a small demon) who sits on the dreamer's chest, leading to a sense of suffocation, breath difficulties, a racing and heavy heart. However, there is a rare type of frightening phenomenon during sleep which is not quite like a nightmare. It is called "night terrors" or " Pavor Nocturnus " and it is a severe sleep disturbance, consisting of attacks of acute terror arising in deep sleep without dreaming. It is accompanied by violent body movements, extreme agitation, gasping, moaning, screaming, sweating, confusion, and in some cases, flight from the bed or the room, destructive behavior and aggression directed toward objects or against themselves or other persons. Wounds, fractures and lesions may occur in consequence. Sleep terrors occur during a phase of deep non-REM ( Rapid Eye Movement ) sleep usually within an hour after the subject goes to bed (stage 4). An episode may last anywhere from five to twenty minutes while the subject is still asleep. The eyes may be open. The patient is unable to recall anything afterwards.

   Extractions: Some things that can help bring out a night terror are stress, certain medications, (It is hard to list exactly which ones) being over-tired or eating a heavy meal before going to bed. Many different medical ailments contribute to the frequency of Night Terrors. (Once again to many and to hard to list, Please do not e-mail me to have one added.) These things DO NOT cause night terrors, they just seem to put your body into the state where a night terror can manifest itself. People without night terrors will not have a night terror because of the above reasons.

You may try to reassure them, but it is usually the problem that you can't even understand them. Our adult instinct is to rationalise; to assure the child of the difference between the fear they feel and the real world. But how helpful is this? First it is useful to understand the nature of nightmares, how they occur, and what they mean. It is also useful to explore the models we can teach our children in order to best help them with this parasomnia. As unsettling as it is to see our children struggle with the fears of a nightmare, imagine a more dynamic form. To see your child awaken soon after sleep has set in and physically experience a terrifying aspect of sleep can be far more disturbing. Night Terrors are a dynamic sleep disorder experienced in the early hours of sleep. To understand this disorder we must first look at how it is different from the more common and less explosive nightmare. In the same way that we understand nightmares we must look at night terrors. By understanding the biological reasons and causes of night terrors we can then understand more about them. This information while useful to parents is not always as reassuring as the methods they can use to help their child return to bed and enjoy a restful night sleep.

    Extractions: Getting back to Night Terrors, here is what happens within the body during an episode: the autonomic nervous system is activated, which stimulates feelings of intense fear via the "fight or flight" response. Some people have anxiety attacks on top of this autonomic response mechanism, and/or have asthma attacks as well. If this is a frequent occurance, it might help to keep a good old-fashioned paper bag next to the bed, so you can breathe into it and prevent hyperventilating and resume normal breathing. How often do these Night Terrors occur? It varies. Some people have episodes less than once per month, without harm to themselves or others. Some people experience episodes less than once per week, without harm to themselves or others. In its severest form they occur almost nightly, and/or occur with unintentional physical injury to the person affected, or to others nearby. It would be wise to contact a sleep disorder clinic if you fall into the second or third category, certainly. I have a link to sleep disorders clinics, below.

    Treatment of snoring, sleep apnea, insomnia, night terrors, sleep walking, bed wetting and narcolepsy.  
    http://Texassleepdisorders.com
    
    Extractions: At Texas Regional Sleep Disorder Center, our approach to snoring and sleep apnea is comprehensive. Snoring is caused by an obstruction of air while one Is sleeping as it passes through the nose and to the back of the throat, or pharynx. Many times the snoring is not serious enough to cause any physical illness. Other times the snoring is a symptom of a very severe obstruction of breathing and the body has to work to breath to maintain normal bodily functions. If one has sleep apnea, breathing can stop for up to five minutes and during this time, when the breathing has stopped, the pulse increases and the blood pressure increases so as to give emergency needs of oxygen to the body. If this process Is allowed to progress then the individual having this is more prone to permanent high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, leading to stroke and sudden death. Sleep apnea can affect people of all ages. Children get sleep apnea from enlarged tonsils and adenoids. This can happen in a newborn. This is usually manifested in children by fatigue, irritability, and of course, the audible snoring and breathing sensations. Breathing obstruction can be either in the nose or in the oral pharynx. In the nose, it is caused by cartilaginous or bony obstruction of the nasal septum which divides the nose into right and left compartments. It also can be caused by chronic sinusitis when one assumes the recumbent position, the infectious material rolls out of the paranasal sinuses and stops us the nose making one breathe through their mouth. After a period of time, this gasping for air through the mouth causes elongation of the soft palate and uvula, and later the tongue will press against the soft palate and uvula which has been elongated by this sleep apnea process, and breathing will stop.

    http://www.babycenter.com/refcap/7626.html
    
    Extractions: Night terrors can be a symptom of sleep apnea . Apnea is a serious sleep disorder in which enlarged adenoids (normal lymph tissue in the throat just behind the nose) and tonsils repeatedly block the upper airway passages during the night, making it difficult for your child to breathe. When your child's muscles relax at night, oversized glands can temporarily block air from getting to his lungs. Don't try to intervene in the middle of a night terror. Let your child scream it out, and unless he is in danger of hurting himself, don't try to physically restrain him. If you attempt to hold your terrified child it could lead to wilder behavior. Instead, speak calmly and place yourself between him and anything dangerous. Before bed, take the same precautions you would for a

    Extractions: Night terrors, sometimes referred to as confusional arousal, occur in 5 to 15 percent of children between the ages of 4 and 6, though they can appear in babies as young as 9 months. They are technically partial awakenings from non-REM, or non-dream, sleep. A child in this state may cry, whimper, and flail. He won't look scared so much as he'll appear to be confused, says Dr. Richard Ferber, the director of the Center for Pediatric Sleep Disorders at Children's Hospital in Boston, and author of the book, Solve Your Child's Sleep Problems Nightmares occur during rapid eye movement (REM) or dream sleep. A child who has had a nightmare is likely to have a somewhat clear idea of what scared him, though before age 2 or so, he probably won't be able to articulate his fright. He may also be afraid to fall back asleep, and in the morning, he may remember that he had a bad dream.

The scientific advisor, Hagan, a Betazoid, is alive, although catatonic and withdrawn. While Troi tries to get through to him, Geordi and Data try to restart the Brittain's engines-but although everything's working fine, there's no motion. Before long, Beverly tells Jean-Luc of her findings-the crew of the Brittain, with no apparent outside influences, killed each other. Meanwhile, Troi has a nightmare, of floating adrift in a fog with a voice saying only "eyes in the dark, one moon circles..."

    Extractions: Help for sleepless parents Encyclopedia Index N night terrors Search night terrors Night terrors (or sleep terrors) are episodes of screaming and agitation in the middle of the night, generally in toddlers and sometimes preschoolers. They are probably best understood as a variation of sleep walking . They are technically classified as one of the parasomnias, disorders of arousal including sleep walking, sleep talking, and perhaps enuresis Differentiating a night terror from a nightmare depends upon a couple of factors. First is the time of the attack. Night terrors, since they are disorders of arousal from the deepest sleep, occur typically in the first part of the night - certainly the first half and usually just a few hours after bedtime. A nightmare - a particularly vivid and scary dream - tends to occur towards the end of the night - in the early morning hours. When a child has a night terror, he can be aroused from it only with great difficulty, if at all. He may have his eyes open, but will "look right through you" as if not seeing you - and he does not. When a child has awakened screaming from a nightmare, he is indeed awake and will cling to you for comfort. Like sleepwalking and sleeptalking (the more benign form of night activity that often persists into adulthood), it is a

Within fifteen minutes of your daughter's falling asleep, she will probably enter her deepest sleep of the night. This period of slow wave sleep, or deep non-REM sleep, will typically last from forty-five to seventy-five minutes. At this time, most children will transition to a lighter sleep stage or will wake briefly before returning to sleep . Some children, however, get stuck unable to completely emerge from slow wave sleep. Caught between stages, these children experience a period of partial arousal.
