Corie,
I've posted in the past about DS's night terrors - going on 7 and he still has them. As other pp have said, this is too much too long. I agree with Willow33's posts (everything from the overheated and overtired to the bathroom or drinking water resolution to the inability to hold him, touching upsets him) and am hoping you find the trigger soon.
Every time DS has one (maybe once a month, depending on triggering events) he doesn't remember but as parents we can't forget our helplessness when these occur.
I hope you find answers soon.
eta: DH used to talk in his sleep (before the CPAP) and MIL walked in her sleep as a teen and since these "can" be related appears the predisposition is genetic. Also, DS's occurances happen almost always 60-70 minutes after going to sleep - once we hit the 90 minute mark we can relax. Once he had two in one night - the first about 70 minutes after going to bed (overheated by using sleeper) and then 70 minutes after putting him back to bed (not sure on trigger - still hot maybe?). The potential link to restless leg syndrome is relevant in our family as well.
