What happens when sleep—the place meant to restore us—becomes the source of our deepest fear?
For much of her life, Alice Vernon has awakened with the unsettling sense that she wasn’t alone—experiences shaped by vivid nightmares, hallucinations, sleepwalking, and other parasomnias that blur the boundary between dreaming and waking.
In her book, Night Terrors, Alice shares how these nighttime disturbances began in childhood and followed her into adulthood, influencing both her imagination and her work as a writer. We discuss the science behind troubled sleep and why parasomnias are more common than many realize.
Night Terrors isn’t just about bad dreams—it’s about the stories we tell ourselves to survive them. And for anyone who has ever woken in the dark, heart racing, convinced something was watching… this conversation offers reassurance that you are not alone, and that maybe, the night has always held more power over us than we like to admit.
