Sleep study reveals fascinating, bizarre COVID-19 dream trends
Fascinating results from a global sleep study has revealed many people had bizarre, vivid and disturbing dreams when the COVID-19 hit.
Monash University carried out the study examining changes in sleep, dreams and mental health symptoms of more than 2000 patients around the world.
Sleep psychologist and researcher at Monash, Hailey Meaklim, said sleep is when people emotionally process the day’s events.
“There was so much going on … our brains really had to process what was going on and that type of processing happens throughout sleep,” she told Neil Breen.
Around 45 per cent of those surveyed noticed they were dreaming more and their dreams were more bizarre, with a higher frequency of nightmares.
The study included participants from across the globe with some fascinating results!
“We saw different county specific dreams,” she said.
