Does dreaming mean poor sleep?

Insomnia and dreaminess are words that many people often use when describing their sleep quality, as if insomnia and frequent dreaming are equivalent. If you dream frequently, your sleep quality is poor. Some dreams are good dreams, while others are very scary nightmares. So if you dream when you sleep at night, does it mean that your sleep quality is good or bad?

Dreaming is a normal physiological and psychological activity that occurs during sleep. It is normal to have a certain number of dreams every night. Studies have shown that interrupting dreams while people are sleeping can lead to a series of physiological abnormalities in the human body, such as tension, anxiety, irritability and other symptoms.

After falling asleep, a small number of brain cells are still active, which is the basis of dreams. According to research, people's sleep alternates between normal sleep and paradoxical sleep. 80% of people awakened during paradoxical sleep are dreaming, and 7% of people awakened during normal sleep are dreaming. A person's dreams can last for about 1.5 hours each night. Since dreams accompany the sleep cycle, people who wake up during REM sleep feel that they have more dreams, while people who wake up during normal sleep feel that they have fewer dreams.

Normal dream activity is one of the important factors to ensure the normal vitality of the body. However, some people need to pay attention because they have many dreams at night and feel in a bad mental state the next day. The cause of frequent dreams is related to the recent living conditions. When people are tired and stressed, they are prone to emotional tension and depression, which causes them to unconsciously imagine daily trivialities during sleep, making it difficult for the nervous system to rest. At this time, the best solution is to relieve stress and keep the body and mind comfortable.

Proper dreaming is very common and necessary for human physiological activities. However, if you have terrible and hard dreams every night, it will inevitably affect your mental state the next day, making you feel very tired and have no energy. Of course, your sleep will not be very good. You must pay attention to relaxing your body and mind and relieving stress.
