Ah-ha! Night terrors. Most nights. Generally about 20 minutes after falling asleep. That's me! And all these years I thought it was just something little kids had. I also get sleep starts.
Of course, I also fall into a dream state very quickly.I can wake up from a 15 minute nap and remember a dream I was having. Given that the first REM cycle isn't supposed to start till 90 minutes into sleep I'm not sure what this means. I tried to take part in a sleep study once a couple of years ago, but I couldn't fall asleep...hows that for irony. (Hey, you try falling asleep hours before your bedtime, covered in electrodes, in a lit room, in a hospital bed, with all sorts of noises and too much air conditioning....)
What questions do you have about sleep?
(Off to bed now...)
