Nightmares are disturbing dreams that generate feelings of fear and anxiety, abruptly awakening us. On waking, we feel our heart pounding and can usually recollect the nightmare. Nightmares usually occur during the REM stage of sleep. Even though they are more common in children, many adults also experience them.

There could be multiple reasons behind nightmares. Having late-night snacks increases our metabolism, triggering more brainwaves and causing nightmares. Certain medications like blood pressure medications, antidepressants, etc. can also cause nightmares. Also, if we are sleep deprived or have certain sleep disorders, this can also lead to nightmares. Stress and anxiety can also lead to adult nightmares. People who have experienced a huge trauma or are suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder can also suffer from nightmares. Thus, eating healthy, sleeping on a schedule and staying stress-free can help us stay away from nightmares.
