Why Dont We Dream During Sleep at Night?
Not dreaming during sleep at night is a normal phenomenon, indicating good physical condition, relaxed spirit, and no pressure. People who have a lot of thoughts during the day or who are under greater pressure, or those who have more active inner lives during the day, tend to dream easily. Dreaming and not dreaming are both normal phenomena, and they are both normal if sleep quality is good.
Not dreaming during sleep is related to the individual's constitution. For example, if a person's mental state is relatively relaxed and without pressure, the quality of sleep will be very good and they will not dream. It is also possible that the patient has dreams but does not remember the content of the dreams or has no impression at all, so they feel like they did not dream. However, dreaming is a normal physiological phenomenon of humans that occurs during light sleep. During light sleep, the function of the cerebral cortex is somewhat active, which makes it easier to produce dreams and fantastic phenomena. If a person does not dream when they sleep, it may be because they woke up during deep sleep and have no memory of the dream. If a person does not have dreams at night, it is a good sign. If they usually have many dreams, it is recommended to drink a cup of warm milk before bed at night to adjust their neural function and ensure the quality of sleep.
Not dreaming is a normal phenomenon. Occasional dreaming is also normal. However, frequent dreaming or having nightmares may affect sleep quality, which is a sleep disorder. Clinically, this can be seen in patients with neurasthenia, anxiety, or depression. If a person is overly tense, under too much pressure, or overly fatigued during the day, they may also experience these situations. Neurasthenia is mainly treated by regulating the autonomic nervous system, with commonly used drugs including Oryzanol, Xinshenning Tablets, and Suanzaoren Oral Liquid. Patients with anxiety may also experience anxiety and agitation, and are generally treated with antianxiety drugs such as Tandospirone and Buspirone. Patients with depression are mainly treated with Escitalopram. If a person's symptoms are caused by mental tension and stress, physical adjustments can be made to advise them to relax, reduce stress, participate in physical exercise appropriately, sleep and wake up regularly, and avoid staying up late.
