Pavor nocturnus, or night terrors, is a parasomnia disorder characterized by extreme terror and the temporary inability to fully regain consciousness. This documentary explores what that experience is like for those who suffer from the disorder through interviews and artistic interpretations of the night terrors themselves. The film also investigates treatment possibilities for the disorder through interviews with the staff at the North Dakota Center for Sleep and demonstrations of possible treatments. The intention of this film is to be educational, while also creating an emotional understanding of the experience through recreation sequences. It is the hope of the filmmaker that creating interest in parasomnias will encourage growth in the area of sleep study and create empathy for those inflicted with sleep disorders.
