What's the deal with night terrors?
Jan 23, 2024•15 min
Episode description
Night terrors are distressing awakenings of intense screaming, thrashing and fear that often happen at the same time each night.
They're more common in children than in adults, but they can hang around or emerge later in life.
Norman takes us through his own childhood night terror, and Tegan weighs in on some of the reasons they happen in the first place.
