Nightmares and night sweats may be caused by prolonged mental stress, anxiety, excessive psychological pressure, chronic lack of sleep, or overexertion, which keep the brain's nervous system in a constant state of tension. They could also result from a deficiency in calcium or trace elements, or from general physical weakness. Additionally, these symptoms may occur in patients with diabetes or those going through menopause.
