Question
Hi,
I've noticed recently that whenver I take naps I get nightmares. I always wake up from naps feeling like crying. Is there a medical explaination for this?
Thanks for reading!
Answer
If the nightmares are at the beginning or ending of the nap,then I would worry,however if they are just sporadic,it may be because your menopausal or hormonal changes,it also could be due to stress or perhaps an overdose of caffeine,caramel colored sodas,alcohol,or even medications you may be taken.If you cut down on the caffeine, and find they persist I suggest you see your physician for possible a sleep evaluation to rule out night terrors or some form of hypersomnia.Hope this helps feel free to email again,karel
