1, mood, such as excessive excitement during the day, excessive mood fluctuation or fatigue, abnormal work and rest, insomnia, etc. Some people have greater psychological pressure, which leads to anxiety and depression;
2. Cerebral ischemia and hypoxia during sleep, such as fatigue, excessive fear, hypotension caused by taking certain drugs, high pillow, etc.
3, drinking alcohol, alcohol has an inhibitory effect on REM, that is, it can inhibit dreaming, but after the effect of alcohol disappears, the brain needs to make up for REM, leading to continuous dreaming and increasing the probability of nightmares.
