Hey,

This is really rare except it's happened about 5 times this year. I've woken up screaming, punching, and kicking, in like heaps of fear. Like i'm not angry or anything when i'm waking up screaming, i'm like petrified. And i just punch and kick but i don't know why.

A couple times it's happened while people have been in my room and luckily i've never hurt any of them. But after a recent incident i'm really worried that next time, i might accidently punch someone.

I have no idea what is happening when i wake up screaming. I remember nothing, and in incidents when people have been in my room, they will yell stuff like "it's me, calm down, it's just me" but nothing registers until they say there name. Sometimes i yell stuff like "where am i?" or "who are you?" in between screaming. But yeah, that's it.

Any ideas on what the fuck is wrong with me?
 
Your mind does weird things when it's not awake or asleep. I don't think you do.
Do I? It's 11:40 and I gotta get up at 6:55.
I wish I could sleep :(
Err, I wouldn't worry if it doesn't happen frequently though.


I finally got to sleep at 1am.
I'm surprisingly not tired though.
 
Could possibly sleep paralysis. Its a horrific experience that you don't always remember, and often you can wake up freaking out from it.
 
You should really see a doctor, if it causes too much stress while you're asleep it can cause serious damages to your body and possibly death.
 
rofl, it isn't gonna cause death!! it's called night terrors. they happen. id lay off scary movies and caffeine.

If it is nightmare related, then he could be having panic attacks in his sleep. Which can lead to a heart attack and those can commonly cause death. It really just depends on how severe he is when he's asleep.

Nahh, thats not Sleep Paralysis, Sleep Paralysis is when you wake up and can't move at all. You remember it though, you might wake up and freak out afterwards but this guy is talking about just waking up and swinging his fists and shit.
 
Night Terror

Definition

Night terrors are a sleep disorder characterized by anxiety episodes with extreme panic, often accompanied by screaming, flailing, fast breathing, and sweating and that usually occur within a few hours after going to sleep.

Description

Night terrors occur most commonly in children between the ages of four and 12 but can also occur at all ages. Affected individuals usually suffer these episodes within a few hours after going to sleep. They appear to bolt up suddenly, and wake up screaming, sweating and panicked. The episode may last anywhere from five to 20 minutes. During this time, the individual is actually asleep, although the eyes may open. Quite often, nothing can be done to comfort the affected person. Very often, the person has no memory of the episode upon waking the next day.

Night terrors are differentiated from nightmares in that they have been shown to occur during Stage 4 of sleep, or in REM sleep, while nightmares can occur anytime throughout the sleep cycle.

Something like this?

Edit: Found it on Wikipedia too: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Night_terror

Seems like the problem could be that you don't sleep enough. Another suggestion on Wikipedia is to see when it typically happens and make sure to wake up before that.
 
nothing is wrong with you.

i had this as a toddler.

you are most likely having night terrors. it's nothing to get all worked up over.

eventually, you will out grow them, just like wetting the bed.

I was just going to say that.

They're definitely night terrors. I don't really see how it could be anything else and I spent a whole semester studying mental disorders.
 
Hmm night terrors sounds like it could be it. When someones in my room i generally remember it the next day, but otherwise i don't recall screaming at all, i'll just wake up in the morning and my mum will be like "you were screaming again last night".

I don't always get the required amount of sleep, and i often drink redbull/rockstar/mother to substitute not having slept much.

Well there's your problem.
8-10 hours of sleep and no energy drinks.
