This tip helps against nightmares

Nothing is worse than that awful feeling when you wake up in the middle of the night, drenched in sweat after yet another terrible nightmare. You might even still be out of breath because you were running away from a serial killer or because you suddenly had to fight a war somewhere far away. You probably think that the blood heat comes from having just fought for your life. After all, you were almost murdered, so it makes sense that you feel quite warm. But what if I tell you that the blood heat you feel is actually the cause of your scary dream? Do you get it now?

Scientists believe that there is a connection between having nightmares and a too high temperature in your bedroom. Researchers from the British Sleep Society discovered that sleeping in a too warm room can lead to bad dreams. Because the heat disrupts your sleep, the chance of nightmares increases. Well, that explains a lot right away. As an ultimate cold-blooded person, my heating is usually set to about twenty degrees. I usually accept the swollen heating head in the morning, but all those nightmares are definitely a bit less.

So do you often wake up in the middle of the night from a scary dream and then find it often too hot when you wake up? Then be sure to lower the temperature in your house a few degrees before going to bed, as that could give you a wonderfully peaceful night.

So what exactly is the right temperature for your bedroom? According to Dr. Neil Stanley from the British Sleep Society, it should be between sixteen and eighteen degrees. By maintaining this temperature, you ensure that you lose one degree of your own body temperature, which will bring you that peaceful night. Hopefully without nightmares and with countless beautiful dreams.
