Moaning sleeper
Question:
Dear moaning sleeper; It sounds like your boyfriend is having night terrors , and yes this is a dangerous condition. You need to have him analyzed at a sleep disorders clinic. They can really help him there. You can usually find a clinic at your larger university hospitals. Call your larger hospitals or clinics depending on where you live. Good luck . kcjames…@aol.com

I disagree. Night terrors in itself are NOT considered dangerous. Parasomnias such as sleep walking may be dangerous, because the person can hurt themselves. Night terrors usually resolve themselves, and you shouldn’t wake up the person. They may become more agitated and disoriented if you do. Lauren Ero

It’s not uncommon for a night terror to include running around yelling. The terror itself may not be dangerous, but the running around can cause injuries. My husband broke a rib during a night terror once, when he jumped out of bed screaming and fell over a chair.
