Bad dreams, also known as nightmares, can be a distressing and disruptive experience. They can leave you feeling scared, anxious, and unable to get a good night’s sleep. While there is no surefire way to avoid bad dreams altogether, there are a number of things you can do to reduce their frequency and severity.
One of the most important things you can do is to establish a regular sleep schedule. Going to bed and waking up at the same time each day will help to regulate your body’s natural sleep-wake cycle. This will make it easier to fall asleep and stay asleep, and it will also help to reduce the likelihood of nightmares.
