If you have nightmares in your sleep, consider that the patient has nightmares, mostly due to mental disorders or mental stimulation, fatigue, or after drinking alcohol. For patients with frequent nightmares, psychological treatment can be given to improve the patient’s psychological tolerance, and hypnosis or cognitive therapy by a psychotherapist can be used to improve the nightmares. If the patient has no effect after psychotherapy, the patient can also be given tricyclic antidepressants and can be given oral amitriptyline. If necessary, the patient can be given Chinese herbal medicine, herbal tonics, acupuncture, massage, cupping and gua sha if necessary to relieve the nightmare.
