About Nocturnal Panic Attacks
One of the most disturbing aspects about panic attacks is that they can strike at any time and anywhere.
Among various kinds of panic attacks,
Nocturnal panic attacks can at least be predicted.
A nocturnal panic attack is one which awakens a sleeping person, even if he/she is sound asleep, to a state of complete panic for no apparent reason.

These symptoms include:
shortness of breath
racing heartbeat
dizziness
tingling in extremities
sweating
sense of dread.
Dr. Michelle Craske, a researcher of nocturnal panic attacks, says that these panic attacks usually occur in adults who are transitioning between sleep stages 2 and 3, and usually about 90 minutes after onset of sleep.
