Also, alcohol has no therapeutic use in sleep medicine. In fact, sleep specialists recommend that people wish sleep disorders minimize their alcohol intake, and never drink before bedtime as that can cause a disordered type of sleep (even if it subjectively seems like it's "helping" you sleep).

514704 tn?1228312637 I feel you might be probably suffering from a kind of sleep disturbance known to be sleep paralysis, which occurs when you go to sleep or tend to wake up. It is a temporary phenomenon where in you feel incapable of moving your body or part of it physically but keep trying to shout loudly or seek someone’s help. This may last for just a few seconds to minutes and can repeat once again if you sleep.
Avatar f tn Several things could be going on, you could be experiencing night terrors, perhaps brought on by the added stress in your life, or it could be sleep apnea that can cause a variation of different symptoms. If this continues you should seek out advice from a medical provider.

568812 tn?1379165794 I have lived with night terrors off & on for many years. I used to think I would die from fright eventually. At this point in my life I have set it aside because there were no answers. I was given a diagnose of PSTD near 10 years ago. The psychologist thought that I had suffered trauma from abuse. That seemed to be as good of an answer as any. At one point I thought it was demonic. All I knew is that it seemed so real and I would keep the lights on.

Avatar f tn Do you have sleep paralysis with them or night terrors? Do you keep a dream journal? Are the nightmares interfering with your life by causing you to be afraid to do things or not get enough sleep? If so, I would recommend talking with your Mother/Father to see if you can see a Doctor. Certain foods can make it hard to sleep (caffeine being one).
214901 tn?1227567555 Has anyone one here experience night terrors with their thyroid condition? About 1.5 years ago when my thyroid got really bad about 1-2x a month i would wake up in the middle of the night and be half awake half asleep and start screaming and crying and have no idea what was going on, my boyfriend would have to hold me for 2-5 minutes, then I would be like " i have to pee", or "I need a drink" then I would go back to bed. I had little memory of it the next day.
Avatar f tn I do understand it might be diffucult with the baby but need to manage a bit. Sleep deprivation itself can cause these sleep terrors. It is good to consult a neurologist and also a sleep doctor to get evaluated. Alprazolam at night time can be helpful. Do not worry and be relaxed. Take care and update.

438443 tn?1241995685 It's called sleep paralysis. It usually occurs at the onset of sleep or upon waking. Although it can be scary you will not die from this. It would be beneficial to let your doctor know that this is happening in case of underlying issues.
Avatar m tn It sounds like it could be sleep paralysis to me. I do that all the time. I thought it was "night terrors." I'm fully aware of everything around me, can hear and everything but can't scream out, can't move, nothing. I learned it was common with narcolepsy. You need to go see your primary care doctor and/or get a referral to a sleep specialist.
