Hello, frequent nightmares during sleep may be attributed to psychological factors before bedtime—such as excessive tension or excitement. Secondly, physical factors may also contribute—for example, poor indoor air quality, improper sleeping posture, going to bed either overly full or hungry. Additionally, consuming spicy or high-fat foods, alcohol, or certain medications can also trigger nightmares. We hope the above information is helpful to you. Wishing you a pleasant and healthy life!
