| Surprising Factors That Can Cause Weird Dreams 1. You ate a huge, spicy meal for dinner. Certain foods can impact how easily (or not) you drift off to dreamland. But foods that cause a fitful night’s sleep don’t just leave you tossing and turning. They might make for a crazy night of dreams, too. Anecdotally, plenty of people report having weirdly vivid dreams after dining on something spicy or heavy. Some experts suspect that this could be because fiery foods raise your body temperature, which can cause you to have worse sleep. If you’re slightly more conscious, you might be more likely to remember your dreams more clearly, Stanford University sleep expert Emmanuel Mignot told the Wall Street Journal. Anytime your food inhibits deep sleep, such as large meat-heavy meals, you may be more likely to remember your zany dreams. Anytime your food inhibits deep sleep, such as large meat-heavy meals, you may be more likely to remember your zany dreams. Other experts chalk the effect up to meal size. The more you eat, the harder your body has to work to digest all of that food—a process that can make it harder to achieve restful sleep, University of Chicago psychiatrist Lisa Medalie told NBC News. 2. You’re taking sleep supplements. Popping a melatonin supplement might help you fall asleep more easily. But it can also cause you to have super vivid dreams or nightmares. In fact, one small study, published in Sleep and Hypnosis, found that college students (especially women) who took 6 mg melatonin before bed were more likely to rate their dreams as bizarre compared to those who took a placebo pill. Experts aren’t entirely sure why, but it could be that melatonin leads to more intense REM cycles, which could kick your dreams into high gear. Instead, natural sleep aids are recommended over supplements like melatonin. 3. You’re going off your meds. Specifically, antidepressants. If you and your doctor decide that you should stop taking them, lower your dose, or switch to another prescription, there’s a good chance that your dreams will be affected. Especially if you nix the medications quickly instead of slowly tapering off. This tends to happen because antidepressants work by altering levels of neurotransmitters—or chemical messengers—in your brain. Stopping meds can affect how those neurotransmitters behave, which can result in strange or disturbing dreams, say from Harvard Health experts. Thankfully, the weirdness should stop once your body adjusts. |

| Dreams Aren’t the Only Sleep-Disturbing Culprit As we covered above, plenty of factors can contribute to weird and uncomfortable dreams, ranging from stress to diet. However, there are even more things to consider when trying to get a better, deeper 8-hours of sleep each night. Most things you’ve probably heard of, such as limiting the amount of blue light before bedtime to avoiding spicy foods and sugary or caffeinated drinks. However, the quality of your mattress matters as well. It isn’t as common knowledge, but the best mattress for you could depend on your sleep style. For example, the best mattress for side sleepers tends to be a softer bed, as the extra cushion helps contour to side sleepers’ hips and shoulders. |
