Extreme Fear
Night terror episodes tend to interrupt sleep patterns and when an individual wakes up, they may be left with an inexplicable sense of intense fear.
A person may not remember their night terrors, but the intense fear they experience can have an effect on their mental health. Experiencing a state of extreme fear can add to existing levels of anxiety. Night sweats may indicate a state of fear brought on by night terrors.
