A person needs a night's sleep in order to rest and gain strength to perform "feats" with the onset of a new day.
But sometimes after waking up we feel as if we were run over by a steamroller, and the reason for this is the nightmares we had.
Why do people have nightmares at all? We will try to figure this out in today's material.
Stress and anxiety
Among the most common factors that can cause nightmares are stress and anxiety. Be prepared for the fact that emotional experiences, conflicts, worries, or traumatic events may be reflected in nightmares.
Diseases (physical and mental)
Sometimes illnesses of the soul and body, including diseases of the nervous system, epilepsy, depression, etc., can cause bad dreams.
Food and medicine
Certain types of food or certain medications can trigger nightmares, especially if you ingest them right before bed.
The subconscious and the creativity of the brain
Sometimes nightmares can be seen as a reflection of internal conflicts, fears or vague anxieties, the place of "residence" of which is our own subconscious. The brain uses sleep and dreams to process emotional impressions and experiences, and sometimes it transforms them into nightmares.
External stimuli
Finally, don't discount external factors such as noise, light, or temperature changes during sleep.
