Hello, Missy! How are you?

A nightmare can do that, some medications, stress, alcohol, illegal drugs, illness… there are many reasons that this may happen, according to the NIH.

How often has it been happening? Were there nightmares involved? Does the person have sleep apnea? Are they on any medications? Do they drink frequently?
