#97 - Nightmare Disorder: Nights So Cruel I Thought I'd Die

Sleep Unplugged with Dr. Chris Winter

Dreams happen, and unfortunately, sometimes those dreams are nightmares. For most, these terrifying nights are few and far between. For a small few, nightmares become a frequent and unwanted nighttime norm. In this episode we will:

• Revisit parasomnias, in this case nightmare disorder, and determine what defines it
• Differentiate this disorder from night terror/sleep terror disorder
• Explore the epidemiology of the problem
• List its underlying causes
• Review the medications often used to treat the problem
• Discuss other treatment options often employed in the disorder
