Why did you say that you had a nightmare and turned the pillow over twice?

That's unscientific, modern medicine's explanation of nightmares in human sleep.

1, the function of body and organs decreased or there were latent lesions.

2, sudden heart failure aura, tachycardia or bradycardia and other reasons.

3. The nervous system of the brain is stimulated by powerful external information.

4. Effects of chemicals in natural environment on human organs.

5. the change of living environment will lead to the decline of people's psychological endurance.

6. In the process of sleep, because the brain reprocesses the information of daily memory, it is easy to form a combination of strong information, virtual terror and space-time scenes. This combination of virtual strong stimulation information can constitute the process of re-stimulation of zang-fu organs, resulting in factors such as increased heart rate and pathological changes after waking up from nightmares.

The causes of human nightmares are mainly caused by comprehensive factors, and specific problems should be analyzed in detail. We must not force it to be included in the part of dream analysis, otherwise, we will take a detour.

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.
