    He is having withdrawal systoms from the lack of alcohol in his body.

    It's colloquially called night terrors, alcohol may be messing with his brain, what you are experiencing is (it may be hard to believe) a fairly mild case neutral

    I think you will find your wrong about this, as having researched this and with working in this field I can assure you he is having withdrawal, as if he was to awaken and drink some alcohol he would sleep perfectly.

    Regards.
