Do you dream a lot? We all dream about the same times throughout the night, another different thing is that we remember it. And not remembering dreams is not negative, on the contrary. Surely more than once you’ve got up exhausted because you remember a lot of dreams that you have had during the night. Don’t you give you the feeling that when you dream (or when you remember dreams) you rest worse? In Female Diario we tell you how dreams influence night rest.
You were running through the forest trying to get into some of the trees because it was chasing you a wild animal. You have found a river and you have thrown yourself into the cold and revolt waters, with what you have appeared in a place that you did not know. You have continued walking to the limit of your strength without losing even the feeling of danger for a second until you have reached the top of a mountainous peak and, without knowing the motifs very well, you have thrown yourself into a vacuum.
If you have had this dream and you are able to remember it, it will not be surprised to get out of exhausted as if instead of dreaming it you would have really done it. Or maybe you have spent the night at a party with your friends, laughing, drinking and talking with people. Or your dream may have surprised you for being plagued with fairies, elves, dragons and even snakes that affectionately lived in your leg. They are not situations that allow you to rest, of course.
But what prevents you from resting is not what happens in the dream itself. In the same way you can be dreaming that you are lying in a hammock on the beach feeling all the tranquility of the world and waking you tired. Because the lack of rest is not caused by what you dream, but the fact of waking up with the dream.
Although we do not realize, to remember a dream we have to wake up. Sometimes we wake up completely and sometimes we are barely aware of what is known as microdesperta. But with each microdesperto, we move away a little more from that deep sleep we need to rest. So it is not what you dream, it is what you remember what influences when sleeping well and resting properly.
With dreams or without dreams, sometimes you have slept all night and you get up equally tired. The idea is not only to sleep, that too, but to have a repair dream. And to have a repair dream and that we can get up rested it is necessary to go through all the phases of the dream.
Those phases are five and we cross them several times throughout the night. Each phase is slowly taking us from a superficial dream to a deep sleep, which is the one that repairs us and with which we rest. But many nights, for stress, for concerns or for some more or less serious sleep disorder we do not manage to reach that deep phase. We stay in the superficial phases of sleep and, therefore, rest does not occur.
It is not the same to sleep than rest. So don’t miss yourself too much if a day after your 8 hours of dream of rigor you wake up as physically and mentally exhausted as you lying down. It is not a worrying thing unless it is repeated every night and, in that case, it will have to be to consider changing the evening and nocturnal routines and extreme sleep hygiene.
Putting into practice a series of measures known as sleep hygiene is the first step when the first signs that are not well at night are noticeable. This action, if performed on time, can prevent an insomnia problem, so it is worth trying. As?
It is just about reducing the activity throughout the afternoon, not consuming exciting drinks for at least 6 hours before bedtime, regulating the room temperature, as well as noise and light and, above all, acquiring the habit of bedtime and always getting up at the same time.
