Why do you always have nightmares?

Sleeping and dreaming is something that happens to everyone. However, if you often have nightmares, it may be a sign of physical illness. Research shows that frequent nightmares are closely related to the deterioration of our health. Modern medicine has confirmed that nightmares are often a harbinger of some diseases in the human body, which can remind people to be alert to diseases as soon as possible. The stimulation caused by human pathological changes is often reflected in dreams. When people are awake, the weak stimulation of diseases is mostly covered by various external stimuli. After falling asleep at night, the amount of information transmitted to the human body by the outside world is greatly reduced, and the stimulation from internal organs dominates the brain, thus causing unconscious vigilance and reaction. Therefore, dreaming can be said to be a window of human health. We can divide the horrible nightmares into several categories: 1. The mind is greatly stimulated. This kind of stimulation includes the death of relatives and major social or family problems, as well as its own factors. For example, if you do something shameful, such as murder and arson, endangering public order, accepting bribes, or being scared by your cowardice, children will be severely reprimanded and beaten by adults, young people will have a bad marriage, middle-aged people will suffer the pain of losing their children, wives and parents, and the elderly will be strongly psychologically stimulated. Often these people have nightmares at night. 2. Due to illness. Illness, serious illness, cancer and other major diseases, endocrine disorders, wind and cold attack, chronic illness and so on. , will have a serious psychological impact, leading to nightmares. 3. The bad stimulation of chemical volatile substances on the body will form a nightmare illusion state. For example, long-term exposure to the smell of camphor will have a cardiotonic effect, leading to pathological changes in the functions of the brain and internal organs. For example, nausea and vomiting, especially in the higher center, can act on the motor areas of cerebral cortex and brain stem, which is easy to cause epileptic convulsions and respiratory excitement. At the same time, it has obvious cardiotonic, booster and exciting effects on the respiratory system, and also has exciting effects on the central nervous system. 4. Environmental factors, such as natural disasters, horror films and stories, scenes of the dead, the process of death due to social activities, thrilling encounters, some unexpected events, crematoriums, cemeteries, scenes of murder, scenes of panic, scenes of major disasters, etc. 5. Enter the terror zone in nature (including the rumored terror zone), participate in terrorist activities or adventures, enter haunted houses and ghost area, see fierce animals, and be intimidated and violated by fierce animals. All the above factors can make people have terrible dreams, but they also vary from person to person. People with better physical conditions are less likely to have nightmares; If you are timid, you will have a high chance of having nightmares. This is all human psychology. Those villains, hooligans and bandits who kill people without blinking an eye have little chance of having nightmares because they usually do evil. There are also soldiers, because they are killing machines, and the chances of these people having nightmares are very small. Anyone who has done terrible things will not feel what terror is and will not have the concept of nightmares. Although sometimes there will be a slight nightmare hallucination, it will not affect their daily mood. When people's mentality is hit hard, it will affect the extension of people's thinking consciousness, make people have nightmares, produce mental illness, go to extremes, have an impact on their health, and eventually lead to mental breakdown, become hopeless lunatics, fools and mental patients, and act beyond normal behavior. However, this is only a superficial phenomenon. In severe cases, it will lead to death. In people's sleep, due to the usual abnormal mental reaction, the virtual space-time scene of nightmares in sleep will also have an extreme impact on people's psychology, triggering a pathological reaction of body and mind. People often only pay attention to the influence of people's daily mentality on their health, but ignore that dreaming during sleep will also have a bad influence on people's mentality. Most nightmares will produce bad stimulation to people's heart function. When you wake up, your heart will be pounding, or your brain will have poor thinking ability. If the stimulation is too heavy, it is easy to form heart failure, leading to death in sleep. The psychological effect at night is closely related to the usual psychological state. People with peace of mind rarely have nightmares, and the worse their psychological quality, the more they will have nightmares.

Ways to reduce nightmares When blood sugar is too low, people will feel tired, tired, irritable and unresponsive. The study also found that hypoglycemia may occur after falling asleep, making it easy for people to wake up screaming in nightmares and sweating all over, making it difficult to fall asleep again. Why is hypoglycemia related to nightmares? Experimental studies have confirmed that people will alternate between fast-wave sleep and slow-wave sleep during sleep. Fast wave sleep, also known as "dream sleep", is when people dream. Studies have shown that during fast-wave sleep, people's nerve excitability increases and protein synthesis in the brain accelerates. When blood sugar is too low, brain energy supply is insufficient, and protein synthesis is blocked, which will lead to prolonged fast wave sleep time. At this time, the nerve excitability will increase, and you may have nightmares at any time. On the other hand, when blood sugar is normal, protein's anabolism and energy supply are in a normal physiological state during sleep. Fast-wave sleep and slow-wave sleep are carried out alternately and orderly, and the nervous system will not be overly excited and it is not easy to have nightmares. Carbohydrate foods can correct hypoglycemia. If you often have nightmares, try eating a few slices of bread or two biscuits or drinking a glass of milk with sugar before going to bed. This may help you reduce nightmares and improve the quality of sleep. It is worth mentioning that some diabetics have difficulty falling asleep and have many nightmares (this is often overlooked). This is often related to the fact that diabetic patients are prone to hypoglycemia. Therefore, when patients often have hypoglycemia attacks at night, we can consider adjusting medication or adding a small amount of meals before going to bed. Of course, these are best done under the guidance of a doctor.
