do you Feel familiar? We all see sometimes nightmares. Some see them more often than others. Nightmares of a biological basis is now obtained new research data.
the International genetic research shows that nightmares affect partly the same genes as many mental health problems or insomnia symptoms. Discovery is the first evidence that individuals with genetic variations are common with the nightmare of seeing.
– according to This study, it seems that the depressive or neurotic traits, as well as insomnia symptoms increase the nightmares for the amount of research Hanna Ollila tell.
the nightmares have in common the genetic base also, for example, fatigue, general wellbeing, mood swings, as well as a variety of pain with. According to the study, genetic variants are exposed to mood – and unihäiriöille, which again add to the nightmares I see. Instead, the nightmares are not of this study according to the cause of mental health disorders and sleeping problems.

some people have nightmares very often. An estimated less than five percent of the people will have nightmares almost every week. Women and children are men, and adults more prone to have nightmares.

the Finnish institute for molecular medicine, working in the Hanna Ollila in addition, the research was attended by researchers on Health and welfare institution, Helsinki and Turku universities, as well as Stanford, Harvard and Michigan universities.
researchers using three materials, which has been involved in a total of about 30 000 people in Finland and the united states. Those under examination have been asked about their dreams and taken genetic samples. Material data were the Finnish Finriski – and kaksostutkimus as well as Genes for Good genetic material.
Unihäiriöille more attention to
the effectiveness of and hurry up to idolized in our society sleep and rest the importance is often underestimated. Prolonged difficulty in sleeping can be exposed to many diseases. Hanna Ollila believes that sleep would be a good to pay more attention to, inter alia, in health care.
– One way is, that the dream would be taken more clearly into one criterion, which is estimated, for example, depression or other mental health problems in treatment.
