Specializes in Psychiatry

Depends: Well, depends on the intensity of the nightmares - to be honest. Also, some medications can induce bad dreams (for example, tizanidine amongst many others). Attached is an article about sleep terrors from the Mayo Clinic. Hope it helps! http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/night-terrors/basics/definition/con-20032552
