Sleeping aid for problems with dreams

Dreams are reactions of a brain to certain events. Some scientists think that this is just one of the ways in which human’s brain consolidates memories. During the dream, our mind reorganizes its experience received during the day and tries to solve existing problems by connecting new gathered facts to older ones. In other words, the dreams are expression of brains activity which is going on during the night in order to make sense of all the signals received by brain at daytime. We dream at night because at daytime the brain is busy receiving the signals and producing thoughts. Some people can control their dreams. The brain is trying to solve some problems during the dream anyway, so why not to make a direction to solve the specific problem? Maybe you noticed that I you think about something directly before falling asleep, you may see the dream about what you were thinking about. However, some people think about their problems directly before sleeping, and this makes them unable to fall asleep at all. So, be careful with so called conscious sleeping.

We have realized why dreams appear, and now let us consider the question: what are dreams and when we see them? In modern medical science, it is considered that dreams appear in the period of rapid eye movement during sleep. This stage of sleep is also referred as REM or 4th stage of sleep in medical literature.

As a rule, REM sleep starts after a period of deep sleep and happens several times per night. During REM boy interacts with brain. Some people have problems like sleep walking and sleep talking. These effects happen exactly during REM sleep stage.

A very interesting fact is that adults spend only about 20% of their sleep at REM stage during the night, and children – over 50%. This is explained by that children learn great amounts of information during day-time.
