Patient's question:
During the later stages of pregnancy, why do you often have difficulty sleeping at night and keep having dreams?Doctor's answer:
Hello, dreams are a normal physiological phenomenon. Frequent dreaming is closely related to a shorter duration of deep sleep, insufficient depth of sleep, and poor sleep quality. Frequent dreaming does not mean an increase in the number of dreams but rather an increase in the number of dreams remembered."Whole night dreaming" is indeed a subjective feeling and is not a functional state that causes different dream experiences, nor can it accurately reflect objective facts. For example, if you feel very tired, your body and brain may actually be well-rested. After washing up, you may feel energetic. Such situations do not need to be taken too seriously.
However, if you experience insomnia due to frequent dreaming, you should pay attention. You need to relax your mind and avoid overpaying attention to dreams. One to two hours before bed, it is not advisable to think about problems or read books. Instead, engage in appropriate physical activity (such as a walk) to avoid stressful mental activities.
