Not all Fair Lawn seniors experience night terrors, but if your loved one does, here are some possible reasons:
- Medications: Certain medicines can affect a Fair Lawn senior’s brain chemistry, that can in turn, cause night terrors. If your loved one is experiencing night terrors while on narcotic pain medication or antidepressants, talk to their health care provider before moving forward.
- Stress: This stress can be onset by any situation, big or small. If it is a constant issue, your loved one can develop night terrors.
- Dementia: With dementia comes, sundown syndrome, that is extreme confusion and agitation as the day goes on into the evening. This can progress into abnormal sleep cycles, which can lead to nightmares and terrors.
These are just a few possible causes of night terrors for your Fair Lawn senior.
