I can take a 20 minute nap, and i have what feels like i just had a whole life during a dream. I feel like i only have REM sleep, my eyes wake up sore from nonstop REM all night

[Universalviewz]

Evey night i see dreams, new faces with very clearly. When I getup, feel burden in my head and headache.

My dream is having any sleep without dreaming.
Very rarely I have a nightmare but I dream at every single nap I take or sleep I have.
At least that's my impression and what sucks the most to me is the fact that almost every dream I have, is about me having to solve some sort of problem or being involved in some weird situation.
I literally rather being awake sometimes than falling asleep again just to have another dream.
It actually happened this morning.
Freaking holiday, I could stay longer in bed but I really feel mentally tired because it seems my head don't rest, it's always working.
I don't drink alcohol (maybe 2 beers a month...) and sonetimes I take some over the counter PM pill to help me to stay in bed later on Saturday and Sunday mornings but even so, I still dream in those nights.
I don't really think of myself as stressed or having anxiety problems.

Thank you so very much for taking the time to answer my question!! I TRULY appreciate it!! 🤗 I do struggle with anxiety and have noticed that when it is at its peak my dreams get the most bizarre! But I now understand not to demonize REM sleep thinking it’s not needed, because wow if it’s needed to regulate emotions and process learning. Thank you!

I feel like I dream from the time I go to sleep until I wake up.

[DihelsonMendonca]

I get too much dreams and I don't feel rest when I wake up. It's terrible. Looks like I never experience stage 3 and 4. 😮😮😮

[danteshotin]

I was diagnosed with anxiety, I took treatment and I can say that I managed to reduce some symptoms, but what tires me the most is when I want to sleep I dream all the time and I'm mentally tired, how can I get rid of this? what to do ? please help me ! thank you ! Sorry my english is not good !

I recently got off weed (two months ago) and now I have super vivid dreams every night. And
I wake up throughout the night. Like currently it's 3am. And I've only had three hours sleep. I woke up suddenly from a vivid dream. And if I go back to sleep the dreams get more intense/weird.
Mine may be anxiety. Like the weed paranoia is gone but I'm an anxious person in general. So it may be that.

[JudithMathis-qbqj]

I have vivid dreams at night and I also have vivid dreams when I take a nap. So I basically don’t get the healing rest that my body and my brain need. I have chronic headaches from being so fatigued. I’ve tried many different types of sleep medication and antidepressants, yet I’m still suffering.

[ShynaKhan-te]

I see wired and extreme dreams as soon as I sleep
And this causes me to sleep for more than 12 hours until I force my slef to wake up
After which I feel drained and tired

[parevalo]

But how can we decompress? What are things we can do?

[flyingdutchman]

Five minutes into the video and he still hasn't answered the question

[Beanbites]

I think that watching Snapchat reels has disrupted my sleep and my dreams are short and fragmented

[AileenChambers]

You know what blocked my hardcore dreaming .... weed

[WildSunflower-ppyb]

I started to track my sleep due to waking up feeling so tired & my ambien working less. So, my ambien works for 3 hours, i wake up to a racing mind. I lay in bed til i can fall back asleep but its in & out of light sleep to REM the next 4 to 5 hours. I get about 2 hours deep, 1.5 REM, the REM & light sleep is always the last 5 hours of sleep. I am totally exhausted...its all vivid dreams, i feel like i am in another world with people i know but cant remember or i am dealing with my life situation. So am i having rebound sleep after this ambien stops? This has been about a year now, i think it happens more when i am stressed 🙃

[coreyalexander]

Could nicotine cause rem rebound as well? Also, can you die from a lack of rem sleep? Thanks 🙏
