In the past 10 years, I have 2-3 awakenings a week due to night terrors. Most often I will see people in the room, coming out of the wall, spiders, cats, and movement under the covers. <\/p>\n<p><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Often times my fiance will tell me what I said or did because I don\u2019t remember what happened at all. He will hear me talking (when he\u2019s in the TV room) and come in. Like another letter I read on your site, the light coming on awakenings me. But, it also serves as a preventative measure. When he is supportive and calmly agrees with me and is not challenging, I readily go back to sleep. <\/p>\n<p><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">I have had many embarrassing situations related to my behavior during a night terror. I awake frightened and shaking, sometimes insisting that it was real. Other times I don\u2019t recall it at all. I have slept walk into other rooms and gone back to bed and had no recollection of it. <\/p>\n<p><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Is there a book that you would suggest I get for added information regarding night terrors? It is such a strange phenomenon and I would really like to learn more about it. Another note that you may find interesting, I fall immediately back to sleep about 90% of the time. Only a few times have I had to calm down to go back to sleep. These usually occur withing the first 20 minutes of sleep. <\/p>\n<p><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">I could go on and on and share stories with you.
