Causes of nightmare formation and adjustment scheme of how to drive it away

The external causes of nightmares (that is, objective conditions) include: the comfort of the bed, the height of the pillow, the thickness of the quilt, the sleeping position and the direction of the sleeping position (influenced by the earth's magnetic field), and some diseases of the body itself. Internal reasons (that is, subjective factors) include: the pressure of life and study, the deep impression on a novel or movie, people or things happening around you, etc. Many people often have nightmares, such as dreaming that their throats are stuck, and they are so scared that they can't shout or move. When I wake up from a nightmare, I always feel bad. Some people are even depressed, suspicious, guessing and worried all day, and are in a state of constant fear. Why do people dream? At present, the physiological and psychological mechanisms of dreams have not been completely solved scientifically, but two things are very certain: First, external stimuli can cause dreams. For example, some scholars used to pour ice water on sleepers and wake them up with flashes and sounds. The results show that the proportion of these three stimuli programmed into dreams is 42%, 23% and 9% respectively. The second is thinking during the day and dreaming at night. Many scientists who study the content of dreams have found that dreams often attach importance to daytime experiences. From these two conclusions, we can easily find that as a nightmare, there are at least two reasons for its formation: 1, and some undetected diseases have occurred in the body. Generally speaking, the occurrence of organic diseases always has certain symptoms. However, in the early stage of the disease, because the stimulus information of the disease is weak, and in the awake state, because other strong stimulus information is quite weak, at this time, the weak stimulus of the disease can cause the excitement of the cerebral cortex, thus causing various morbid horror feelings in dreams. 2. Strong emotional depression during the day. An American psychologist once reported an example: a woman often dreamed that huge waves pushed her to the sea, while others were far away from her. She is always too scared to shout "help". Psychologists know through investigation that this woman has a heavy burden of work and housework, and often feels invincible, but she is unwilling to ask people around her for help. The sinister scene in the dream is a special description of the difficulties in her life. The psychologist told her that as long as she could get rid of the tension and depression in her life, the nightmare would say goodbye to it. People's dreams can't always be pleasant, and some people often have nightmares. The fundamental reason why people often have nightmares is psychological problems: cerebral cortex activity disorder caused by inner depression, anxiety, depression, conflicts or disorder of life rules. Nightmares are just a manifestation of the cause. For those who are troubled by nightmares, the following suggestions are put forward: 1 to dispel unnecessary worries about nightmares. Scientists have made an in-depth study on the relationship between dreams and mental illness. If we do a "fast-wave sleep capture experiment" on normal and healthy people, only the subjects will have slow-wave sleep at first, and once the slow-wave phase changes into fast-wave phase, they will be stimulated to wake up for 3~5 days, so that the subjects will be insane, and their clinical manifestations are similar to schizophrenia (but the pathological mechanism is different), which can be called "experimental psychosis", which can explain that dreaming has nothing to do with psychosis. 2. Relax before going to bed. Don't do too much camping or reading novels before going to bed to cause strong mood swings, and don't recall painful past events. Drinking a glass of milk and listening to music before going to bed is helpful to sleep quality. 3. Learn self-suggestion and establish a positive psychological defense mechanism. Don't always blame yourself for the disappointments in life. When you can't change the reality, try to adapt to life. Treat painful experiences as rich life experiences; Think about your strengths and advantages; Use a more active psychological defense mechanism. 4. Radical treatment of physiological diseases. For nightmares caused by physiological diseases, we should treat them in time and don't take medicine casually. 5. Solve problems in real life. Problems in study, family and school should be solved actively and in time, because psychological unhappiness is often the main reason for nightmares. For example, using good learning methods and getting along well with classmates and teachers will reduce psychological pressure and reduce nightmares.

A good way to drive away nightmares. First of all, drinking enough water or herbal tea every day will help the human body absorb nutrients better. Especially when you are tired, herbal tea is the best choice. If you must drink hot tea or coffee, don't drink more than three cups at most, and you'd better finish it before noon 12. So caffeine will not hinder the body's absorption of minerals such as iron and calcium. It is also important to eat enough whole wheat food and protein every day. Lack of any one of them may lead to physical fatigue. Chicken, fish and eggs are important sources of protein. Whole wheat food (you can prepare a pack of graham crackers in the office) contains a lot of minerals and vitamins, such as magnesium and B vitamins, which can make people energetic. If poor sleep is also one of the reasons for fatigue, then you should have dinner as soon as possible. For example, around 6: 30 in the afternoon, let the intestines have more time to digest. In addition, drink less caffeinated drinks after noon, such as Coca-Cola and coffee. In addition, you can try not to drink for several weeks in a row. Because alcohol will dehydrate the body, it will also interfere with blood sugar levels and affect sleep. However, if you eat too little, you can't sleep well with a growling stomach. So if you are hungry, you can have a snack before going to bed. But try to choose foods that are easy to absorb and help you sleep, such as milk rich in protein and lactose. Bananas and digestive biscuits are also good choices.
