Could you explain why do i always have night terrors when i go to sleep?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No, I can't tell you: The reason. But this clearly impacts your quality of life. I would encourage you to discuss with your physician. A sleep medicine referral and possibly a polysomnogram (sleep study) may be in order. Take care.
