Night terror

Night terror, also known as sleep terror, is a sleep disorder, causing feelings of terror or dread, and typically occurs during the first hours of stage 3-4 non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep. Night terrors tend to happen during periods of arousal from delta sleep, also known as slow-wave sleep. During the first half of a sleep cycle, delta sleep occurs most often, which indicates that people with more delta sleep activity are more prone to night terrors. However, they can also occur during daytime naps.

Night terrors have been known since ancient times, although it was impossible to differentiate them from nightmares until rapid eye movement was discovered. While nightmares (bad dreams that cause feelings of horror or fear) are relatively common during childhood, night terrors occur less frequently according to the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry. The prevalence of sleep terror episodes has been estimated at 1%–6% among children, and at less than 1% of adults. Night terrors can often be mistaken for confusional arousal. Sleep terrors begin between ages 3 and 12 years and then usually dissipate during adolescence. In adults, they most commonly occur between the ages of 20 to 30. Though the frequency and severity vary between individuals, the episodes can occur in intervals of days or weeks, but can also occur over consecutive nights or multiple times in one night.

Night Terror

Trapped inside two worlds of reality
Enveloped in a living
Purgatory in your mind
Visions of death - The only life sign
Subconscious fear runs
Through your mind
Dark illusions that can't be denied
Dreams of your death come to life
Unlighted path - Comes from your mind
Night terror lurks deep inside
Destroying you - It comes to be
Haunting your life - Mind never free
Dormant fear holding you in its grip
Cold hands keep you from awakening
Nocturnal imprisonment has your life
Struggling to break free from mental chains
Mentally gone, Your mind is devoured
A dark submission takes you down
Eternal sleep brings your end
Dreaming your life as it dies
Awake from your fate but you
Can't break free
Fear has crushed you in its hands
Unraveled in pain
Your life fades away
Now your mind is gone
