			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Anxiety attack that occurs during the night can be a symptom of a panic disorder that eventually leads to a person dreading sleep since the person would start worrying that he or she will not be able to sleep soundly. This is very distressing. Experts would say that this attack is usually due to mental worry and corporeal uneasiness.</p>
<p>But what causes nocturnal fright attacks, why do some people experience this and others don&#8217;t. Nocturnal fright attacks actually 10.2 percent of the total anxiety attacks that a person might feel. And this is also more frightening as this can lead to other serious health problems like heart attacks, stroke, and even other irrational cause of death.</p>
<p>Night attacks are not similar to nightmares. When you have a nightmare, you can usually recall what the nightmare is about. Unlike anxiety attacks wherein you don&#8217;t even know why you&#8217;re having one. And attacks also happen during the early phase of sleep and not during the dream phase or REM phase. Though it is not clear what causes night fright attacks, but experts are speculating that this might be due to increase carbon dioxide concentration, changes in parasympathatonic system from an autonomic dysfunction, stresses during the day, alcohol or drugs, or worries and fear of the patient.</p>
<p>So how can people overcome nocturnal attacks? One way of overcoming nocturnal anxiety attacks is through exercise. Exercising and taking a 15 minutes shower at night can help relax and calm your mind. Also, it would be best if you don&#8217;t watch television before you go to sleep as this can strain the eye and brain resulting to attacks. Read a calming novel or book instead or listen to a relaxing music before you sleep.</p>
<p>Panic attacks are due to worrying or stress so find ways to stop worrying. Try to stop being afraid of going to sleep and most importantly don&#8217;t think about having an attack. Worrying can strain your mind and increases the risk of getting an attack. It would be beneficial to you if you can lower your anxiety levels.</p>
<p>One way of lowering anxiety levels is through positive thinking. Night fright attacks can actually give you more negative thoughts so overcome those thoughts by thinking about positive things as negative thoughts will only result to you fearing sleep. Thinking positively can also help you relax and calm your mind.</p>
<p>Also, experts would recommend that you don&#8217;t get out of bed when you get night anxiety attacks. When you go out of bed, you actually get more stressed, which means increasing your panic attack. So stay in bed and find ways to calm your mind. You can chant a mantra or you can also try to write down your thoughts during an attack. Writing not only relieves you of stress, this will also help you analyze the causes behind your attacks.</p>
<p>Caffeine, nicotine or wine in the evening will not help your problem either. These can actually make your attacks worse as nicotine, caffeine can actually give you insomnia, thus you can&#8217;t sleep.</p>
<p>And bear in mind that getting angry or frustrated about your situation will not help you overcome the attacks but actually increases. You can lower the attacks by understanding the causes of the attacks.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Are you tired of the sweating, chilling, and rapid heartbeat while driving? Are you tired of the way panic attack hinders your life? Don&#8217;t be. The mind is a very powerful tool and it can conquer anything. However, it is complex to understand and it may cause imaginary fear and pain. Since it is part of you, you can program it to stop feeling afraid without medication if you chose to.</p>
<p>Panic attack is described as a condition of having a sudden blow of compelling fear. It usually comes without any warning and without any clear reason. Compared to anxiety attack or the unpleasant feeling that is normally connected with restlessness, fright, or be troubled, panic attack is far more potent.</p>
<p>Your fear of panic attack might have originated from the idea that it can attack any minute and anywhere, inside your house, car and office. Fortunately, you will notice if it is coming to make you suffer. The sweating and chills are all part of it. Just like you had seen in a horror movie, people will feel someone is coming close to get them. Your anxiety level will accelerate and then panic attack hits. From this statement, you understand that you can stop it before it attacks.</p>
<p>Like the birds listening to the whisper of the wind, listen to the cries of your body. Notice the changes you are having. If you feel the tension is building up, decelerate your car and stop to the closest pit stop. Slowly feel the air on your face and breathe. Take in as much fresh oxygen as you can and take your time. Don&#8217;t be in a hurry. It is better safe than sorry.</p>
<p>Aside from deep breathing, tell your mind that everything would be okay. There is nothing to worry about and you are safe. Positive affirmations help a lot. It will lessen your anxiety level and help you cope up from your condition. Like what some people say, positive minds open safer and clearer roads.</p>
<p>Distraction will keep you occupied if you have difficulty convincing yourself. Listen to two people talking in the radio and then find ways to relate with them. This way you will get too distracted to think about your situation. You can also talk to your friends or family using an earphone. Lastly, you can use a professional CD to encourage you.</p>
