Why do i scream in my sleep?
My girlfriend has told me that i scream in my sleep . That i have my mouth closed and i scream at the top of my lungs. She said she tried to wake me up and nothing i didn't wake up. There were no words, i was just screaming. Its the first time she has ever told me this. I don't remember having a nightmare at all. Im 17 btw and unfortunately i am stressing due to some personal reasons . but everything started happening about 2 years ago why my niece's father died. Any reason why this is happening?
Why do I scream in my sleep?
I been told I talk in my sleep. I sometimes laugh or say random things but mostly I scream things like "stop" or "don't touch me" and I been told by my mom and friend that I even cry when I am sleep. I don't have any memory of these things happening or the dreams ever. No do I have a history of abuse or trauma or anything of the sort. I wake my college roommate up from this. I apparently been doing this as a child.

It's called 'Sleep Panic Disorder'. Sleep panic attacks are bad because the patients begin to fear the nighttime and especially going off to sleep. They fear that during the sleep panic attack they will be comatose and hence unable to do anything if they suffer something violent. The cardiac arrest like symptoms most prevalent during sleep panic attacks make these people afraid that they might die if they have an attack while they are asleep. Sleep panic attacks are not caused by dreams. This is known because medical studies have shown that sleep panic attacks happen during the early stages of sleep and not the REM phase when dreams usually occur. There are other disorders that are far severe than insomnia and they will often resemble sleep panic attacks in their symptoms because the victim will often wake up with palpitations, fear, shortness of breath, sweating, and so on. This type of sleep disorder occurs during the deep sleep. Sleep apnea also causes the patients to wake up suddenly and though this sort of thing is not associated with any anxiety there is evidence indirectly linking it with sleep panic attacks since sleep apnea affects heart rate and blood pressure. The precise reason for sleep panic attacks is not yet known. It is suspected that possible causes might include a build up of carbon dioxide in the body, a condition that is known as "false suffocation alarm" that causes the body to respond by strenuous breathing and rapid heart rate. You might also wake up screaming, and your heart beating really fast. Hope this helps (:
Why do I cry/scream in my sleep?
Sounds like you are having night terrors. I've been plagued with these all my life, been sent to shrinks who insisted I'd been molested as a child, told it was food allergies, given drugs that made me feel like I was swimming in cement etc... Then I found out they were caused by a chemical inbalance in my brain. I can't tell you how to get rid of them sorry, but maybe your doctor can help. I still have them but less often than I used to. I usually have them within 30 minutes of falling asleep. They're classified as a sleep disorder and mostly children get them, but as far as I know, I didn't have them until I was in my 20's. Here's a website on them. http://www.nightterrors.org/ Good luck, and hope this helps. eta: Thank you, guy below me. And btw, I'm female. ;-)
Why does my dog scream in her sleep?
For the past few nights, my 11 year old miniature dachshund has been waking me up with her screams in the middle of the night. I always check her over for a spot that is hurting her, and she gives no reaction when I do that. She'll usually stop when I pick her up and start talking to her, which makes me think she might be doing it in her sleep. Usually after the episodes she will cling to me as if she is afraid of something. I've talked to my mother about it, and we're both trying to figure out what's going on. She thinks that my dog is having a nightmare, or that there's something in the room that's scaring her. So, I have several questions. First, is it possible for dogs to have nightmares like that? I know that dogs dream (who hasn't had a dog run in its sleep?) but I never knew dogs could have nightmares that make them scream like that. And when I say scream, it's not the short yelps that dogs will sometimes make when they feel pain. These screams are long and loud and much more intense and scary. Second, has anyone here had this happen to them or their pets? What do you recommend I do to solve this?
I screamed in my sleep!!!?
I believe this is normal. It sounds like a nightmare or a night terror. In your dream, you may have been being attacked, fighting, or protecting your family, etc. I wouldn't worry about it, everyone goes through periods like this. However, if it is something that is preventing you from sleeping now I would speak to your doc. I wouldn't worry too much about it.
I keep screaming in my sleep?
Alright I'm 16 years old im 5'1 i weigh 130 (bit overweight >_<) and i've been very tired lately. Lately I've been going to bed really late. Around 3:30 am or around there. I can't sleep. Also I'm afraid of the dark so i sleep with a night light. But when i finally fall asleep i can hear myself screaming but i think that its in my dreams. Untill my mom comes in my room wondering why i'm screaming. And none of those dreams were nightmares. I keep screaming out of anger not fear. But now i cant sleep well since i scream and scream at night. My most recent dream was this morning. I tell you a little bit of the dream so that you get what I'm saying. It was a dream about me and my mom. She had took something of mine that i didn't want her to touch. Then she started laughing in my face like those evil people you see on t.v. Then i just yelled out MOM . I woke up from my dream for like a second. Then fell back asleep. That's what I remember from this morning. But yea. I really don't know what's wrong with me. I dont want to keep screaming in the middle of the night. Can anyone please tell me what i should do? P.s. Also i've been having a really sore back. xD Thanksss
