Anybody hear of those? I started having them early teen years. I would wake up in a state of complete terror, frozen. I'd try to continue to breath like I was sleeping, I think I saw a movie where someone said that's how they could tell someone was feining sleep. I was sure someone was in the room and I didn't want to let on that I was awake. I couldn't move. It got hard to breath deeply on purpose. If I woke with my face to the wall it was even worse because I couldn't turn around. It felt like hours would pass, but it probably was a few minutes before my body would give out and I'd fall back to sleep. I never recalled having a nightmare, just waking in an unbelievable state of fear. Never mentioned it to anyone at the time.

Hi Claudine,


I have heard and experienced these too. I use to get them alot, but havn't had them for along time now thankfully, I am sorry if your still getting them I know how awful they are.


I would wake up and be convienced someone was in the room and ezactly as you siad it you didn't want them to kno wyour awake so you try and pretend your asleep and stay still. I would get to the point where I tried not to breath to deep, then I would have too, becuase i needed to breath, I know ezactly how you feel.


When I was married my husband woke me up one night and are you ok, I said Why? totally bewelded he said I was screaming in my sleep, I had no recolication of any dream watsoever even till this day. I don't know what it was all about. scary thourght though.


Do you ever get when your asleep and hear a window smashing and the noise wakes you up. I would get my husband to go check it out, everytime but it was in my sleep but the noise was so real.


when I got night terrrors i would sleep with a light on, still do sometimes.


Sending lots of big hugs

Hi Claudine
At some point around puberty I went from fearing the monsters under the bed to a more grown-up fear. I havent had one for a while. My partner went around the house with me and we fixed every little bolt and lock properly - even if they were fixed already - hoping they would send a message to my subconscious that I was safe. I think It kind of worked though I had to take some medication at first just because I so badly needed the sleep.
Thinking of you

Thanks Lark,


I don't get them much anymore. once in awhile. I looked into them a bit and they appear to be somewhat related to a schizophrenic state. (oh yay) They started in my early teens instead of the typical early childhood stuff. Luckily, it's a very rare occurance now. The doc's don't fully understand them at this point. Wish I could have talked about it when it was happening nightly. Maybe that's part of my sleeping problem now. I usually only get 4 hours.
