I had an appointment at a sleep specialist today. He confirmed our self-diagnosis that I suffer from night terrors. It was a wonderful moment when the doctor stopped asking Exile #2 and me questions and started to talk about what was going on. Finally someone was taking this seriously, talking scientifically and offering some degree of hope for controlling the situation.
I have two months of filling in sleep logs ahead. I've been told not to write these posts last thing at night (see it's all your fault) and to lose some weight. It's not rocket science, but it is professional advice - time to start!
I'm not sure what 'night terrors' are but it doesn't sound pleasant. I'm glad you're making progress and now at least have a diagnosis to work from. We'll be praying...
