Do you guys have any advice on what helps you when you are experiencing nightmare after nightmare? My friend is feeling so sleep deprived and struggling because he just keeps having nightmares and doesn't know how to help it. Is there anything that has worked for you?

Hey Lavendar Swimmer,

I can understand your friend's situation. My sister has also gone through the same situation. She made changes to her routine by starting to write down all her thoughts in a paper before going to sleep and decrease the intake of alcohol, meditate daily, healthy diet, and try to keep herself busy throughout the day to distract herself from negative thoughts.

This routine helped her to overcome nightmares.

I hope it helps your friend also.
