A member asked:
Having very vivid/lucid dreams, is it normal to wake up exhausted as a result of these? and how can i get a more satisfying rest?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No, not normal: Are you taking any medications or drugs? Drinking alcohol? Caffeine? These substances can interfere with your sleep cycle and leave you feeling exhausted -- plus some may evoke very vivid dreams. There are other possible causes also, and you might benefit from seeing a sleep medicine physician to review things. In the meantime, eliminate alcohol, any recreational drugs, and caffeine.
