Try and relax before bed. If you have a heavy workload, try to give yourself an hour before going to bed to clear your mind. Try doing something you enjoy, it may be listening to music or having a bubble bath, the more relaxed you are before bed, you'll probably have a better nights sleep and less nightmares.

Studies show that drinking a cup of hot milk before bed, calms you down. Also, when you are lying in bed, think positively, for example about good memories.

Try meditation. Sometimes we just need to disconnect from our emotions and watch them pass away. Then you might avoid staying up late in front of the computer.

Nightmares can be difficult to persevere through. Calling someone willing to listen to you for a little bit is always helpful. Knowing you are not alone or have zero help is a great way to make it past the night. Sometimes some nice memories or activities before sleeping is a great way to make sure you have no bad dreams.

I will talk to someone about it. Give them details about the dream, how long has it been occurring in order to feel better because then i know that i'm not going through it alone. If it gets to the point that it requires medical attention, I will not hesistate to get help.

Keeping a regular wake-sleep schedule is important. Regular exercise helps alleviate nightmare-causing anxiety and stress. You may find that yoga and meditation are also helpful. Practice good sleep hygiene, this will help prevent the sleep deprivation that can bring on nightmares. Be cautious about the use of alcohol, caffeine, and nicotine, which can remain in your system for more than 12 hours and often disrupt sleep patterns. You should make sure that your bed, pillows, and blankets are comfortable. In addition, decorating your bedroom with familiar, comforting items can help create a safe space to fall asleep. A huge part of getting better sleep is making sure that your body is ready to sleep. The blue light from electronics is known to suppress melatonin, the sleep hormone, making it harder to fall and stay asleep. Hence, avoid using electronics up to an hour before bed.
