People’s days are often filled with online school for children, social distancing, masks and a daily death toll, so it’s no wonder 50 to 85 percent of adults are having nightmares. If this is something you struggle with, here are some tips from CNN that could help put your mind at ease. Establish a sleep routineNightmares occur during rapid eye movement sleep, the phase during which our muscles relax and when we dream. Setting regular sleep and waking times, making your room is dark and cool, and avoiding caffeine during the mid-afternoon can help establish a better sleep routine. Check up on your mental healthIf nothing works and you’re still having nightmares, talk with a therapist or sleep specialist.
