00:00Welcome back sun bro, we hope you all in great health and great money.
00:04Before we start, please at least subscribe so we can have little money for food and paying bills.
00:09Alright, today we are going to talk about,
00:129 surprising causes of nightmares and how to prevent them.
00:15Nightmares are dreams that can be upsetting, scary, or strange,
00:18occurring during REM, rapid eye movement, sleep, when your brain is very active.
00:23Unlike bad dreams, nightmares wake you up. It's normal to have nightmares occasionally,
00:27but there are several factors that can make them more likely.
00:301. Anxiety or stress.
00:32Daily stresses, like worrying about school or work, can lead to nightmares.
00:36Major life events, such as moving or losing a loved one, can also trigger them.
00:402. Trauma and PTSD.
00:42Experiencing trauma, like physical or sexual abuse, or having PTSD can cause frequent and
00:47intense nightmares, which can worsen PTSD symptoms.
00:513. Mental health conditions.
00:53Conditions like bipolar disorder, depression, general anxiety disorder,
00:57or schizophrenia can increase the likelihood of nightmares.
01:00Stress-reducing techniques and therapy may help.
01:034. Medications.
01:04Certain medications, including antidepressants, antimicrobials, beta blockers,
01:09blood pressure medicines, drugs for Parkinson's disease, smoking cessation aids,
01:13and stimulants for ADHD or narcolepsy can cause nightmares.
01:17Talk to your doctor if you suspect your medication is the cause.
01:205. Substance misuse and withdrawal.
01:22Misusing alcohol or drugs, or going through withdrawal, can lead to nightmares.
01:27For instance, opioid withdrawal can disrupt sleep patterns, causing nightmares.
01:316. Not sleeping enough.
01:33Poor sleep quality or changes in your sleep schedule can trigger nightmares.
01:37Insomnia is also a common cause.
01:407. Eating right before bed.
01:41Eating before bed can speed up your metabolism and make your brain more active,
01:45which might lead to nightmares.
01:478. Sleep apnea.
01:48Sleep apnea, a condition where you briefly stop breathing during sleep,
01:52may increase the likelihood of nightmares.
01:54CPAP therapy has been shown to reduce nightmares in some cases.
01:589. Scary books and movies.
02:00Watching horror movies, reading scary books,
02:03or playing frightening video games right before bed can cause nightmares.
02:06If this happens, try to avoid these activities before sleeping.
02:10To reduce the chances of having nightmares, stick to a regular sleep schedule,
02:13get enough rest, avoid alcohol, caffeine, and cigarettes,
02:17exercise earlier in the day, relax before bedtime, and avoid frightening media.
02:21If your nightmares disrupt your sleep, happen more than once a week,
02:25affect your mood or daily activities, make you scared to go to sleep,
02:29and began when you started a new medication, consider talking to your doctor for further advice.
