Analysis:

The reason for nightmares is mainly because of a bad sleeping posture. Some people sleep on their stomachs, some people put their hands on their chests, or cover their mouths and noses with quilts, and after a long time, their chests are blocked, and it is difficult to breathe. These uncomfortable sensations spread to the cerebral cortex, causing the excitement and activity of nerve cells, and you will dream that there is a monster pressing on your chest, but at this time, the nerve cells that direct the movement of the limbs and command the sound are in a state of rest, so they can't move their hands, and they can't scream when they want to.

Guidance: In addition, some people suffer from chronic respiratory diseases, such as chronic rhinitis, chronic pontificitis, chronic bronchitis, etc., and will also have a similar nightmare feeling after falling asleep due to poor respiratory tract.

If you have a nightmare, you get up and go back to sleep, what else can you do.

Nightmares generally occur during REM sleep. In the middle and late stages of sleep, REM sleep accounts for the largest proportion, so nightmares also occur during this time. Nightmares are different from night terrors, and the dream during nightmares is clear and immersive, so the dreamer appears extremely scary, and wakes up in a typical state of sympathetic adrenaline system excitement, such as palpitations, shortness of breath, cold sweats, etc.

From a clinical point of view, nightmares are often related to real life, personality factors, and drug factors.

1) Realistic factors: As the saying goes: "think about it day and night", such as encountering emotional entanglements and frightening events in life, you often have nightmares.

Nightmares mostly occur when mental repressive factors are lifted, such as just after the college entrance examination has ended, divorce procedures have just been completed, and a lawsuit has just been concluded, etc., which are more likely to occur at this time.

2) Personality factors: As the saying goes: "Don't do bad things in your life, don't be shocked when you call the door in the middle of the night".

If a person is selfless, behaves in a downright manner, is kind to others, and is in a good mood, he will naturally rarely have nightmares. And the character of being afraid of wolves and tigers after being born wants to find opportunities to meet with tigers and wolves, and this kind of person will inevitably have nightmares. Some murderers, fugitives who were being hunted down, had nightmares all night long, and were in a state of terror.

Some people who are timid and cowardly by nature are also prone to nightmares.

3) Drug factors: Reserpine was often used as a blood pressure lowering drug in the past, and long-term use of this drug can cause depression, and the early manifestations of depression are mainly insomnia and nightmares. Some drugs (such as hypnotic drugs, central stimulant drugs), after long-term use and sudden stopping, can increase the rapid eye movement sleep within a week, and even account for about 50%, at this time the most likely to have nightmares.

The fundamental method is to eliminate the psychological factors that cause poor sleep. If the patient adopts the right methods and attitudes to face the psychological difficulties through psychological ** and specific guidance, and gradually resolves the difficulties and contradictions in reality, the distressing dreams will be reduced, sleep will return to normal, and many other symptoms that coexist with this will disappear. In short, the psychological factor of disturbing emotions is gone, and the series of reactions caused by it disappears.
