Night Terrors: Not Just a Nightmare


Listen Later

Night terrors (sleep terrors) are often confused with nightmares, but they are a completely different—and far more intense—type of sleep disturbance. Unlike a bad dream that occurs during REM sleep and is usually remembered, night terrors arise from deep non-REM sleep and involve sudden, dramatic awakenings with screaming, fear, and physical agitation, often with no recollection afterward. In this video, we break down the science behind night terrors, what causes them, who is most affected, and how they can be managed. If you've experienced or witnessed disturbing episodes during sleep, this deep dive into night terrors will help you understand why they're not just a bad dream.
