What Causes Drowsiness And Vivid Dreams?

I haven t slept well for years, usually about five hours a night. For about a month now, I have been sleeping for about 8-10 hours a night and still feel tired when I wake. I have also been having very vivid dreams, usually not good ones. Most of the dreams are scary and about bugs -- which I hate. Though it is wonderful finally getting normal hours of sleep, I am also becoming a little concerned. I am not really feeling depressed, as I have had depression off and on throughout life. Should I be concerned, of just enjoy more sleep?!

Just enjoy sleep. 8-10 hrs is a good amount of sleep you need.
Don't worry.
and the vivid dreams you get will eventually stop don't be so stressed about it.
I would like to advise you to meditate daily after taking bath in the morning at least for 10 minutes.
Meditation keeps you mentally as well as physically healthy.

Hope this helps, Take care!
