Is there any treatments for sleep terrors?

    Not sure about treatments but I find I can manage mine.

    I occasionally get dreams which are horrifically realistic mixture of nightmare/sleepwalking.

    I in the past woke up the house running down the stairs due to dreams of snakes round my legs, spiders running down the walls etc.

    Now I just wake up sweating and swearing a little, acknowledge what it was, go get a drink of milk and separate reality from fiction in my mind. I then look under the bed to ensure there is not 100 million spiders hiding just to make sure before going back to bed.

    DISCLAIMER: this is my experience i realise that for some people night terrors are worse and result in things like punching through solid walls etc and leaving things may not work. If you think this is the case ask a doctor for a referal.
