Adult Night Terrors?

Hello,

Last night, I awoke finding myself standing in my room with bloody finger nails (must of been prying at something causing my nails to separate from the nail bed) and items off my shelves and window sill. I faintly recall the feeling of extreme panic/heavy breathing and a sense of needing to escape like the walls were closing in on me. Usually I do not remember my dreams but every time I do its when episodes happen like this, tho usually its not this bad. Most of them involve me seeing huge spiders causing me to throw my blankets on them and I wake up as i'm sifting through it looking for it or me just simply sleep walking.

I work nights so i'm usually not going to bed till around 4am. I do not take any hard sleeping pills, if I do take something its stuff like Benedryl. Can lack of quality sleep cause this? Seems extreme.....
