Nightmares are a normal part of sleep. However, when they occur frequently, they can affect our mood and how well-rested we feel during the day. To create the right conditions for a more peaceful night’s sleep, try listening to relaxing music or reading a book before going to bed. Maintaining a consistent sleep and wake-up schedule can also help support your body’s natural circadian rhythm. In addition, a comfortable sleep environment can contribute to an overall sense of relaxation.
