Fear of Night terrors

[susandennis]

Between Christmas and New Years I had two nights that were just horrible and a little frightening. I just lay awake for most of 8 hour and panted and gasped for breath. This afternoon, breathing was difficult and mostly I worried that I was heading for another one of those nights.

I am now in bed - I'll listen to my book and play computer games until I get sleepy. Generally this is about 11 so that's what I'm shooting for. Right this minute - about 5 minutes after my last hit on the rescue inhaler - I'm feeling ok an breathing pretty well.

I think I'll be sleeping with my fingers crossed. Emphasis on sleeping!

Oh my. I haven't had those since 1993. Not fun, not fun at all. Here's hoping that they take their leave pronto.

Happily, I worried for naught. I slept well and think I feel pretty good this morning. I'd be very happy if it's 9 years before I see another one of those nights!
