College Student wanted to help his Veteran father- who suffered PTSD & "night terrors" in his sleep. The Son, Tyler Skluzacek invented an App on a Smartwatch to detect these night terrors, and send an electrical signal to raise the person "out of deep REM sleep". The App called "Nightware" will be available by Prescription through the VA soon.

I agree. Being without REM sleep leaves you tired and I would be afraid of prolonged use. After 58 years the wife knows when to duck

LTC (Join to see) I like the Idea. REM Sleep is necessary to good Mental Health also though. I'd be questioning the efficacy. I've been fighting in My sleep for so long now that I can recognize it as a dream while having it, doesn't make it any better for Me while it's happening, and I usually wake up right after I've kicked something, it's been My wife a few times. She's learned not to touch Me to wake Me up. I will be asking My Primary Care NP on my next visit though.
