Warding off nightmares!
Warding off nightmares could be as easy as lowering the thermostat before bed.
Your body needs to cool down in order to transition into restful sleep. If your room is too warm, your sleep can become fragmented, and your brain may not move smoothly through the sleep stages.
This kind of disruption can make REM periods more erratic, which can trigger strange, intense dreams, or even wake you up from nightmares.
The Sleep Foundation says the ideal temperature for sleep is between 65 and 68°F. They also recommend using cooling sheets if you tend to get hot at night!
Great advice!
