In severe cases, where episodes take place at least once a week for 6 months, medication may be used.  
 
You may be able to minimize the episodes by following good sleep hygiene:  
 
 
getting enough sleep   
reduce stress  
exercise regularly (but not too close to bedtime)  
keep a regular sleep schedule
