How To Treat Night Terrors

Relaxing Routine Before Bed

While individuals who live relatively high-stress lives may not be able to remove considerable amounts of worry from their existence, simply limiting the amount of stress before going to bed has been proven to help eliminate night terrors. In other words, even if an individual's life is completely stressful, finding a relaxing routine before bed can help to limit the onset of night terrors. For different individuals this will take different forms. Some may prefer to enjoy conversation with a loved one. Others may prefer to read, or to sip hot tea or meditate. For most individuals, watching an action-based television show does not qualify as such, and can be counterproductive. The general theme is such an endeavor should reduce brain activity while also lowering breathing rates. No matter what methodology is used, the idea is to take the stresses of the person off their shoulders long enough to let them get sleep without the specter of a night terror.
