Document Summary

Nocturnal panic attacks most often occur 1 and 3 hours after sleep onset, and only occasionally more than once per night: individuals who suffer frequent nocturnal panic often become fearful of sleep and attempt to delay sleep onset. I think about what is going to happen to my daughter if i get sick. Then i think about where we would live and how we would cope. Some- times i can work myself up so much that my heart starts to race, my hands get sweaty, and i feel dizzy and scared. So i have to stop myself from thinking about all those things. I usually get out of bed and turn on the tv anything to get my mind off the worries: therapist: do you worry about the feelings of a racing heart, sweating, and dizziness happening again, patient: no. They"re unpleasant, but they are the least of my concerns.
