Night terrors happen when your hypothalamus misfires and your autonomic nervous system goes haywire during sleep. The video explains why these sudden startles wreck your sleep quality and what's actually happening in your brain when it occurs.
When you're sleeping, you might wake up suddenly kind of in a startled state. And some people that looks like night terrors. When people have these horrible dreams that they literally wake up from frightened or horrible nightmares. Those are all things where. And again, these are regulated in your hypothalamus, which we talked about earlier on, that those, those expressions of dysautonomia can affect that maintenance, but also affect deep and REM sleep. And that if you don't get in a really safe place, you're more parasympathetic than sympathetic, then that dysautonomia, that irregularity in your autonomic nervous system, will affect that maintenance phase, which you want to be optimal to get your rem, non REM light sleep. And that plays into efficiency, which is when you wake up, you feel well rested. So why don't you touch on efficiency a little bit?
