Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I have nightmares in the night. How can you help me not have them?

Answered by Dr. Aditya Gupta

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Nightmare in adults can be due to various reasons. The most common of them being not having a good sleep.Practice sleep hygiene such as sleeping and waking up at the regular time, avoiding caffeinated drinks for at least 8 hours before sleep, avoid using television, mobile, laptop, etc., half an hour before sleep. Daily exercise and breathing relaxation exercise like yoga can help. Take a light diet in the night and avoid taking refined carbohydrates or sugars and heavy protein diet for dinner. Thank you.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
