Help can being on your period cause nightmares?

Sleep cycle changes: If you are feeling pain during that time of the month, you may experience a lighter than usual sleep cycle with more awareness REM pattern sleep and thus dreams or nightmares. There are also some fluctuations of serotonin levels associated with the monthly cycle which can affect dreams and awareness of dreams.
