I've been through this myself, longest having been awake and then take to the hospital was like... 12 days... the night terrors, night sweats, etc. I've been on a majority of medications to knock me out and some out there DO help. From everything ive been told is to cut back on the caffiene, relax before bedtime, and try to find the underlying trigger. Perhaps there is a huge stressor, or maybe possibly you've experienced a trauma in the past or something like that and your mind is coping with it by the dreams. What do you dream about, who is in the dream... its all like a lil code, try to decipher it.
best of luck

well the first think you should do is try to relax at least one hour before you get to bed... you can meditate or do some yoga but i really believe that relaxation is whatever makes you happy. It can be listening to music, drink a glass of wine, cry, dance alone in the house... whatever brings you in touch with your inner self is meditation. you can also drink some hot milk or some herbs that can relax (like chamomile). And last but not least, if you feel you have any unsettled accounts with people (whatever they may be) sort them out. You ll be surprised how calm you ll be after that. If you don't have unsettled accounts, just don't think too much before you go to bed.

You probably suffer from Night Terrors. It affects many people in the world. The best thing to do is get thearpy to work out your subconscious issues that are triggering these dreams. Try buying a dream catcher, if worse comes to worse, get a prescription for Ambien.

Hard to say. You would have to give more specifics on your circumstances.
Why are you having problems sleeping? Could it be that you don't enjoy your job?
If you're a really extroverted person and sleep by yourself, I would suggest sleeping in the same room with someone or next to a pet like a dog or cat. It provides that extra personal comfort.

I've been suffering from this every night for 22 years. I learnt to enjoy it though. Before you go to bed just think to yourself that it is like watching a movie and try to enjoy the fear. I wake up sweating most nights but when I do I think to myself 'that was a good one'. If there is a way to stop it I don't know of it but I've lived with it for so long that I don't want to know anymore.

The best thing to do is stop watching movies that can trigure you into thinking of weird scary things.......watch a cartoon something with a little enjoyment in it so it leaves you feeling happy when you head off to bed.
Dont read scary books
Dont look at scary things you know....

try playing music with calming sounds as you lay in bed such as the sound of the ocean or nature sounds or even classical music sometimes whatever is on your mind before you fall asleep is sometimes what one of your dreams will be about,so free your mind of horrible thoughts and try to relax. good luck

Just recite this poem before you go to sleep:
one two Freddie's coming for you
three four he's at your door
five six grab a crusifix
seven eight, he's at your gate
nine ten he's back again.

Lay off the alcohol, drugs, heavy foods, horror movies and rampant sex just before bedtime and you will be fine.
