I am so tired after dreaming all night

I believe that there are many people in life who are always troubled by their dreams. Some people never dream at night, some people dream occasionally, and some people dream all night long. When they finally want to take a nap, they find that it is already dawn. This will make people feel very tired, because the brain does not rest during the dreaming process, which will naturally affect people's mental state. What is going on with this situation of frequent dreaming?

(1) Little is known about sleep and the relationship between sleep and dreaming.

(2) Related to a person’s emotional state.

(3) Being overly concerned about one’s own health and one’s dreams can lead to intensified dreaming. This in turn increases concerns about health and fear of insomnia, forming a vicious cycle.

(4) Dream content is more likely to be recalled during REM sleep and after awakening.

(5) Differences in individual functional states. Different individuals have different dream perceptions, and even the same individual may have different dream perceptions at different times. In addition, although some people do not have obvious insomnia, they may feel weak during the day after dreaming at night. This is actually caused by psychological factors. Dreamers always associate the content of their dreams with unhappy things, which increases their mental burden, suppresses their emotions, and causes various discomforts.

Dreaming itself has certain benefits for people and sleep. Unless you are troubled by nightmares every night and cannot fall asleep, and you are obviously sleepy during the day, which affects your normal work and life, you should see a doctor to find out the cause and seek treatment.

Dreaming has many benefits to people. It can exercise the function of the brain. Dreaming is a working process of the human brain, which organizes the information received by the brain during the day. The information that the brain cannot process during the day can be well processed in dreams. Problems that cannot be solved during the day can be easily solved in dreams at night. EEG tests have also found that the activity of the human brain during dreaming is quite intense. We can measure fast and chaotic brain waves during dreaming, and their intensity sometimes exceeds that when awake. From this point of view, dreaming is an inherent need to exercise the human brain function.

I often hear people complain that "I had a lot of dreams all night and didn't get a good night's rest" and "I had so many dreams at night that I couldn't fall asleep." So is it really dreaming that delays our rest? Is dreaming a sign that the brain has not rested or has not rested well? This idea is wrong. Dreaming and being able to recall dreams is not an indicator of shallow sleep, nor does dreaming mean that you did not sleep well. In fact, dreaming is a physiological phenomenon. Whether you have dream memories or not, you will definitely dream 4 to 5 times every night. Therefore, it is unrealistic to say that we dream all night or not, and it is also impossible to say whether we dream more or less. Studies have shown that there is no necessary connection between dream perception and the degree of insomnia. In other words, the presence or absence of dream sensation and the degree of dream sensation cannot be used as an objective indicator of whether or not there is insomnia and the degree of insomnia.
