If I knew someone who has recenty started having nightmares and wakes up shouting what would I tell them the possible causes could be?

Are you talking about a child or an adult Dave?
Hi Enyamachaela,
My friend is an adult who just happens to be going through the courts applying for residency of his children. Much like me.....

I'm no expert but would imagine it would be down to stress, what's happening will be going over in thier heads and probably cuasing disturbed sleep, but then deeper patterns when they go off properly, this could be when the dreams start.
I would say talking may help, the more you can talk things through the clearer they will be which would hopefully mean less things going around in the head.

Thanks GTTS,
I kow that he spoke to someone today and has an appointment next week to speak further so I am sure that he will bring it up.

Hi Dave
Yeppers GTTS has got it right I think, it probably is stresss :boohoo: At least he is talking to someone too.
Ahem..and sorry to be a bore, but is he drinking of a night?. Might be a good idea not to.....and get out the old ovaltinies! π
No seriously, quit the alcohol if he is drinking of a night time. Perhaps listen to some nice music that relaxes him π
Hi Enyamachaela,
I know for a fact that he is not drinking alcohol and that he goes to sleep listening to music. Passenger and Ben Howard....
He appreciates everyones advice......
Regards,
Dave
Might be worth trying listening to white noise when going to sleep - may take a couple of nights to get used to it, and it needs to be on repeat with the track fading in/out at the start/end so it's not a sudden change.
mm... White noise... He will give that a go....
Regards,
Dave
Oohhh heck...I had to go and look those names up! π
I have heard white noise is excellent, never used it myself, but I am a believer in trying alternatives, meditation, yoga (but then that is the female in me maybe! π ) but all are worth trying, what suits one person does not always suit another.
Meditation definitely! 8)
π
Funny you both mention meditation and yoga. I have done a little mindfulness meditation and wouldnt mind trying a bit of yoga.
Ill pass this onto him π

Dave
