Question
For a long time, I have napped every day and dreamed, but recently the situation has worsened. I continue to dream after waking up at night, but I don’t think I’m weak in the nerves or have too much sleep. Lately, I often feel dizzy and confused. What is the matter? Are there any medications that can solve this problem? Thank you.
Answer
If excessive dreaming affects brain rest, causing dizziness and fatigue after waking up, there are currently no good medications to solve this. It is recommended to pay attention to rest and not think too much. During deep sleep, the cerebral cortex is suppressed, the activity of sensory organs and the motor system is weakened, and the response to the surrounding environment becomes slow. However, the brain does not stop working completely; external stimuli still enter the central nervous system, causing excitation of certain parts of the cerebral cortex, leading to dreams.
