Struggling with Night Terrors Due to PTSD

It seems like every night I struggle to sleep because of my night terrors always prevent me to sleep. All because of my PTSD. And it seems like every time I mentioned it to my psychologist that I'm unable to sleep he tries to reforce me I should sleep at night. And it seems everyone gets upset at me for not sleeping at night too. Especially when it comes to doctors. I'm 33 years old. I get these horrible gruesome night terrors. I dunno what I should do. Aside sleeping through the day where I know I feel a lot safer sleeping to a natural lighting then at night. Do anyone else have any suggestions? I'm willing to listen.

Also there’s a new device for nightmares I looked into, called night ware, it detects when you’re having night terrors and vibrates to wake you up or change the dream. I know some psychologists/psychiatrists can prescribe a prescription for it

It sounds like you need a new psychologist. Have you ever tried EMDR?

No because I never hear of it.
