What are the negative effects of not dreaming on the body

Each person generally experiences 4 to 6 sleep cycles during sleep, and dreams occur in each cycle. This means that under normal circumstances, a person dreams 4 to 6 times every night, but in situations such as excessive fatigue, illness, facing difficulties or significant changes, anxiety, and stress, it becomes easier to dream.

Dreams visit us every night during sleep, the difference lies in whether we are aware of them or not. This mainly depends on whether we wake up in a specific sleep cycle and whether the sleep cycle is interrupted. Research has found that if a person wakes up at the end of a sleep cycle, the content of the dream is often unable to be recalled because dreams belong to short-term memory. If not repeated or transformed into long-term memory, they are quickly forgotten. However, if the sleep cycle is interrupted and a person is dreaming at that time, the content of that dream can be remembered.

Therefore, most of the dreams that people remember after waking up belong to the last dream they had.

Some experts point out that the so-called "dreamless night" simply means that we do not remember having dreams during the night. However, if one often feels that they have many dreams during the night, it is a signal of poor sleep quality. If a person is aware of constantly dreaming during the night, it means that their sleep has been interrupted multiple times, and if they remember having multiple dreams, it indicates that they have woken up several times during the night.

Intermittent sleep naturally makes a person feel tired and weak.

Normal dream activity is an important factor in maintaining bodily vitality. As some research experts have said, the influence of dreams on sleep is actually a physiological confrontation with the outside world. Only by controlling certain physiological instincts or responses can dreams and sleep actively cooperate, thereby benefiting human health.
