10 Causes of Night Terrors In Adults
Cause #3: Anxiety
Adults with panic attacks and anxiety disorders are more likely to have sleep problems. These include worrisome thoughts and a fear of falling asleep, difficulty getting a good night sleep, sleep apnea, sleep paralysis, nightmares, and even night terrors.
It’s no wonder that those dealing with anxiety problems wake up at night screaming, crying or thrashing their arms and legs. A good thing is that those night terrors tend to last only for a couple of seconds, usually no longer than 3 minutes and that once awake, they are not aware of their symptoms.
