The syndrome of

Horror sleep is the screaming, fearful, rushing to sleep. Also known with horrifying night name, horrible sleep often goes with sleepwalking. People who experience "horrible sleep" will suddenly wake up in the middle of the night, chat, scream but can't remember anything when they wake up .

'Horror sleep' syndrome with an English name is 'night terror' or 'sleep terror' . This is a form of sleep disorder that the patient suddenly wakes up during sleep and performs uncontrollable behaviors such as talking or shouting. Most of these people cannot remember anything when they wake up.

Scientists discriminate 'night terror' with nightmares . People with nightmares can remember some of their dreams after they wake up, while people with 'night terror' do not.

Going into human sleep analysis, scientists also found a significant difference in the nature between these two phenomena. First, we consider a person's sleep including two different stages, REM (rapid eye movement) and NREM (non-rapid eye movement).

When we sleep, our bodies sequentially perform the repetitive cycles of REM and NREM. If nightmares are primarily in REM stage, then the night terror happens in the NREM period. During this time, our body can completely move our limbs unconsciously.

The phenomenon of "horrible sleep" mainly takes place in the first 1/3 of sleep, ie from midnight until around 2 am. In particular, this phenomenon also attacks the nap of some people.

Every time when the "night terror" goes through, the heart beats rapidly, the rapid breathing and the pupil dilate. The patient talks to an imaginary person in a coma, or shows fear when he is being hunted. Some people even imagine that insects are crawling on the bed and trying to chase them away.

After 10-20 minutes, people with 'night terror' will return to sleep easily and don't remember anything. However, some serious patients may experience repeated coma many times a night, with patients repeating up to 16 times!

Research shows that boys aged 5-7 years are most likely to experience 'horrible sleep' . This rate is lower in girls of the same age. The more you grow up, the lower your risk of getting this syndrome.

So what is the cause of this frightening and annoying syndrome? Scientists are still searching for answers despite many difficulties, because this phenomenon is harder to study than nightmares and many patients are not aware of their disease.

The person who is going through "horrible sleep" will talk to an imaginary person in a coma, or be afraid of being hunted.

The fatigue and stress in everyday psychological life is believed to be the main culprit in the syndrome. In addition, the factors affecting sleep such as the sound of the door of the room can also start this phenomenon. Scientists also found evidence that there is a link between the disease and the genetic genes.

However, the 'night terror' is not a serious disease and can gradually get rid of itself. If the sick person wakes up in the middle of the night, we don't need to wake them up because doing so will make the patient very tired due to waking up from a deep sleep state.

Slowly let the charm pass away and pay attention to keep the sick person from hitting objects in the bedroom. At the same time, people who sleep together should pay attention to ensure their own safety. In more severe cases, doctors will use psychotherapy and medication for treatment.
