Have you been having weird dreams since the coronavirus pandemic started? You're not alone. (via CNBCMakeIt)

The COVID-19 pandemic has made even sleep feel stressful. From vivid dreams and nightmares to increased levels of insomnia, many people are struggling with sleep right now.

"We're at a time where people are at risk for developing habits that might make it difficult for their sleep to go back to normal," Martin says.The experiences that you have, the content that you consume and the visuals you interact with during the day absolutely can affect your dreams, Martin says. This is a concept called "," and it happens when a stimulus you encounter in real life makes its way into your dreams.

"The fact that people are remembering dreams or remembering their dreams more vividly is probably because their sleep is more disturbed in general," she says.The best treatment for recurring nightmares is to try to sleep more soundly, Martin says. If your sleep is solid, you tend to wake up less often during the night, so your bad dreams are much less bothersome.

While you might be going to bed at your usual time, "instead of getting up at six to get ready for work, people are kind of lounging in bed until eight," she says. The extra time spent under your covers will just make it harder to fall and stay asleep.
