Can sleeping pills stop dreams/nightmares?
Sleeping pills can help you have a better sleep, everyone has dreams though. But it is more likely when you take sleeping pills, that you will feel refreshed in the morning rather than remember the dreams. So it doesn't stop them occuring, just makes you forget if you get into a deep enough sleep. Hope that helps :)

Do sleeping Pills Give you nightmares?
Melatonin is an all natural sleep aid. I use to take it till it started giving me terrible headaches. It shouldn't be giving you nightmares. What are you doing before bed? Don't watch scary things on TV. I would suggest buying Ionic~ Fizz. It is Magnesium Plus. It improves your sleep. This stuff does work. It is a powder that you mix with some water and drink it before bed. Here is a link to read up on it. http://www.pureessencelabs.com/ionic_mag... Try this link as well it's called Calm it also works really well http://www.thenaturalremedyonline.com/Ca...
Do sleeping pills prevent waking up from nightmares?
I have found that I don’t wake up from nightmares or even have many nightmares when I take a vitamin called B1. It is a natural vitamin and calms you down naturally.When you worry, you stress your body out and nightmares can definitely stress you out as well. I would just try Vitamin B1 as it is found in almost any store that sells Vitamins. Big Pharma doesn’t like this Vitamin as it is a threat to their business and makes their drugs seem unnecessary.
Does taking 4 sleeping pills cause any harm to the person?
Did you already take them? If so, call Poison Control (or dial 911 in the US, 999 or 112 in the UK ). If not, read on…Depends. What kind of sleeping pill? OTC (over the counter) or prescription? OTC probably won't kill you if you're a healthy adult, but if it's an antihistamine, the dehydration isn't good. Other OTC things, like melatonin, are likely to give you vivid nightmares.Prescription sleeping pills are another thing entirely, and here you really need to know what you're taking. Whether or not 4 pills is dangerous depends entirely upon which drug, your age, body size, overall health and whether there are other substances in your body that the sleeping pills can react with (such as alcohol.)Another thing, though, is understanding why you wonder about taking 4 pills. Four times the recommended dosage isn't necessarily going to make you fall asleep more quickly or stay asleep longer - that's what effective dosages are all about.If you're thinking of harming yourself, first of all, stop right there. You are a valuable member of humanity. Please call someone - a friend, a relative, the emergency numbers listed above or:1-800-273-8255 National Suicide Prevention Hotline (US)08457 90 90 90 Suicide Prevention Helpline (UK)Hope this helps.

Do sleeping pills keep you from dreaming?
As you can tell from the previous responses, the answer is a definite maybe. Most medicines that increase sleep (includes benzos and benzo analogues, antidepressents, neuroleptics, and even the most popular and common - alcohol, do have an impact on dreaming by either delaying or reducing REM (dream) sleep. In fact, we occasionally will prescribe a hypnotic for short periods to break repetitive nightmare cycles. But as you can see from other responses, the results are variable and even when we do reduce dreams, there is often a rebound on stopping meds. Both deep sleep and dream sleep appear to be very important to brain and body health and the brain fights to preserve it. In fact, if you are very sleep deprived, one of the brains adaptations is to go directly into dreams, sometimes even before you are completely asleep, which can be frightening. If you are trying to stop nightmares, I suggest you talk to your doctor about prazosin. It is a blood pressure med (seldom used for that) which has been shown to often reduce or stop nightmares in folks with PTSD with relatively few side effects. It is not a sleep med, but helps people who are afraid of nightmares sleep better by reducing nightmares. It may or may not be appropriate for you medically and your doc could help figure that out. Good luck.
Why do I get vivid dreams when I take sleeping pills?
I can only answer from my own experience. I have spoken to a doctor about this before too but don���t take my answer as if it’s a doctor’s opinion.I know that some medications which are used for anxiety, insomnia and such alter your brains activity. One of those things is your brainwave pattern.They tend to bring brainwave patterns down to theta if it’s mostly an anxiety medication, this is a light sleeping stage where dreams occur. Depending on the dose and the individual, it may not always work exactly the same, but some benzodiazepines have been known to cause unusual and vivid dreams.This is similar to how binaural beats work, they help to alter the brainwave patterns depending on the frequency. They are very subjective though.I think the main reason the medication causes this is because it intensifies the pattern a little, making the benefits or effects of that brainwave becoming more apparent.There are a number of medications of different types and they can all have side effects. Some inhibit receptors or block the production of certain chemicals in the brain. So there is very likely other reasons for the vivid dreams.Everything I’ve talked about here is either from experience, research or talking to doctors. If you want to find out more, the best option is to speak to a doctor or pharmacist who knows st least how the medications work.Hope this helps
Can nightmares causes death?
Hypoglycemia occuring during sleep causes nightmares.If glucose levels fall very low death may occur.But this is very rare.Some patients suffuring from Ischemia of heart, dream of exertion and wake up with chest pain or they may not wake up at all.I can not vouch for the special privilege of women.Diabetics suffer from silent heart attacks(painless attacks).Such attacks occuring during sleep (specially after a bout of heavy drinking)must be more common in men.
