Can Night Terrors Be A Forgotten Memory?
Night Terrors are not a result of a forgotten memory, but typically a symptom of a deep sleep disorder, which is inherited. You experienced them when you were in the deepest stage four sleep. Screaming, punching, shouting, crying, even attacking someone can occur during this type of sleep. In the morning there is no recall of what happened the night before, even though it can scare a parent or person witnessing this type of behavior! I describe it as the least connected state. People can outgrow night terrors, but rarely outgrow this unrested type of sleep. Bed-wetting and sleep walking are also symptoms of this deep type of sleep. You might want to check with family members to see if anyone else; grandparents, parents, aunts, uncles, cousins experience any of the deep sleep disorder symptoms; night terrors, sleep walking, bedwetting, sleep apnea, even insomnia.
