My son had night terrors for ages....as he got older he experienced severe anxiety ...then developed chrones disease...an anxiety related form of IBS...severe enough to keep him hospitalised for a month or so at a time....but that was him.Back to the "night terrors"...he'd awake and look as if he was awake...(actually still asleep).But you know ...not to be odd...I always associated them to past life memories.Because to my knowledge he had never been traumatised.Yet ...the stress induced chrones...I mean he was THE most popular kid.Highly intelligent...and I wonder in retrospect...was it that he held all his regular stress(at school ect) within...and developed the later disorder...?Night terrors...still not sure what I think of that as a bottom line.It may be that he...and you are simply terribly deep sleepers?...I feel compassion about it cause...it is like being in a nightmare and ...man...his behavior was completely wild...and I'd have to wrap him in a sheet and rock him...cause he did various things that could harm him during these episodes. Ugh I ranted...I sorry lol.~W~
