10 Causes Of Night Terrors In Toddlers
Cause #10: Eating Too Soon Before Bed
Another thing that contributes to nightmares in both children and adults is eating too soon before they fall asleep. It’s not healthy to eat within two hours of falling asleep because doing so causes your metabolism to spike.
Your metabolism requires quite a bit of your body’s energy, and if you’re sleeping while your metabolism is working in full-force then you won’t be able to get the rest that you need. This, in turn, can increase the chances of having nightmares.
