A member asked:
I have had very bad night terrors lately. what can be triggering them? and how do i make them stop?

Sleep Study: I don't know what is causing your night terrors. However, would recommend evaluation by a sleep specialist and a polysomnogram (sleep study). Without a sleep study, the medical provlder would be guessing about what is really going on.
