Night Time Panic Attacks –Three Must—Do’s If You Have One
Nocturnal panic attacks affect between fifty percent and seventy-five percent of people who suffer from an anxiety disorder. Having an anxiety episode in daylight is awful. Having one in the darkness of the night causes even more distress.
Everything seems more upsetting at night. This is especially true if there’s no one else around. I believe everyone, even those who don’t suffer from, has had a night’s sleep disturbed by fear.
For most people, just getting the lights on and checking things out eliminates the fear.
It doesn’t work that way if your problem is a night time panic attack.
The signs and symptoms of a nocturnal panic attack are about the same as as a daytime one. That is, the person typically experiences a rapid pulse, quick shallow breathing, trembling, a a sense of doom and so forth. In brief, all the things that go with any panic attack.
Some people experience the sense of panic just as they start to doze. Others are awoken suddenly with fear while they’re soundly asleep.
Surprisingly, nightmares are not a hallmark of nouturnal panic attacks.
If this is a problem you face realize that you leave them behind you. But there are things you need to do to reach that goal.
To begin, you need to see your doctor. There are some physical ailments that look a lot like the symptoms of a panic. You want to make sure you don’t have a problem like that.
With nocturnal panic attacks, sleep problems such as sleep apnea may be an underlying cause. Don’t be surprised if your physician recommends testing for this.
Next, be sure your nighttime habits lead to a restful night’s sleep.
This means avoiding stimulants such as drinks with caffeine in them. Reserve your bedroom for sleeping and romantic activities. Don’t do things like watching TV or reading in your bedroom.
You want to create the association between being in bed and sleeping.
In addition, avoid looking at the news or watching upsetting movies or TV shows in the hours before bed. If you have a panic problem the last thing you need to do is to fill your mind with such images before sleep.
You can find healthy sleeping habit ideas elsewhere.
The last thing I’ll recommend here is to get specific treatment for your anxiety disorder.
A nighttime panic episode is really just a panic attack that happens to occur at night. Because it happens at night it may be more terrifying, but that doesn’t affect the overall treatment.
Often, Your physician will suggest using drugs as well as cognitive restructuring.
One thing that is slightly different is that if the night time attacks really interfere with your ability toi get a night’s rest, your doctor may be more likely to prescribe a sedative before you go to bed as a temporary treatment while longer term approaches have a chance to work.
One problem with prescription sedatives is that they disrupt normal sleep patterns. A night’s sleep after you’ve had a sedative isn’t as restful as a normal good night’s sleep.
But it is better than one interrupted by a panic attack.
Another concern is that people can become dependent on them. It’s important to know before you begin this treatment that it should only be temporary. Part of beginning therapy should include a plan of how long you’re going to take the pills and how you’re going to come off it.
For a lot of, it’s wise to try natural alternatives before they resort to a prescription drug. You can find a very good summary of natural sleep supplements at Night Time Panic Attacks Part 2.
In general, the natural sleep aids are well tolerated and don’t disrupt normal sleep rhythms. For many people they’re as effective as the prescription sedatives with out the side effects.
These tips will get you well on your way down the path to relief. If you want more information about all aspects of panic attacks and their treatment, visit Panic Attack Release.

Road Construction Ahead [VHS] $5.99 Bulldozers, stone-crushers, and dump trucks dominate this half-hour video aimed at the construction vehicle-obsessed kid. An affable guide, the hard-hatted “George,” supplies sparse narration; mostly there are action sequences set against an energetic soundtrack. A road is broken into pieces then dug up and a fresh one laid out, all by producer Fred Levine’s trademark waving workers. Included is … |

Signs [VHS] $0.21 This B movie with noble aspirations is the work of a gifted filmmaker whose storytelling falls short of his considerable stylistic flair. While addressing crises of faith in the framework of an alien-invasion thriller, M. Night Shyamalan (in his follow-up to The Sixth Sense and Unbreakable) favors atmospheric tension over explanatory plotting. He injects subtle humor into expertly spooky scenes, b… |
