Q. I suddenly scream and tremble with terror in my sleep (night terror).

A.

Unlike nightmares, it is a condition of partial brain arousal during sleep, in which only a part of the brain awakens and becomes overactive. You do not recall it the next day. It is caused by daytime fatigue and stress. Through treatment that promotes the smooth flow of vital energy (疏肝解鬱, soothing the Liver and resolving stagnation), tension in the brain is relieved.

📝 Detailed Answer

귀신 들린 게 아닙니다. 뇌가 피곤해서 그렇습니다.

  • 대처: 흔들어 깨우지 마세요. 더 흥분합니다. 다치지 않게만 지켜보시면 10~20분 뒤 다시 잡니다.
  • 예방: 낮잠을 재워 피로를 풀어주고, 자기 전 무서운 영상은 금지하세요.
  • : 소아 침(작탁침)으로 머리의 열을 빼주면 효과가 좋습니다.
💡 몽유병

돌아다니는 몽유병도 야경증의 일종입니다. 현관문 안전장치 등 사고 예방이 최우선입니다.
