Nightmares are unsettling and vivid dreams that can cause intense feelings of fear, anxiety, or distress during sleep. We understand the impact of nightmares on sleep quality and emotional well-being, and we are committed to providing comprehensive care and support for those experiencing these troubling nocturnal events.
Nightmares are a common occurrence for many individuals and can happen at any age. They often involve disturbing or distressing scenarios, which can range from a sense of imminent danger to the re-experiencing of past traumas. Nightmares usually occur during the rapid eye movement (REM) stage of sleep, which is when most of our dreaming takes place. Upon awakening from a nightmare, individuals may feel a lingering sense of fear or unease, making it challenging to return to restful sleep.
The impact of nightmares extends beyond the sleep cycle, affecting an individual’s overall well-being. Frequent nightmares can lead to sleep disturbances, such as difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep, which can contribute to sleep deprivation and daytime fatigue. We work closely with patients to develop personalized strategies for managing nightmares and creating a safer and more peaceful sleep environment.
