There are professional tips for relaxing before bedtime. The first is the slow breathing method: take a leisurely breath, and as you exhale, give yourself the command to sleep, trying to fully concentrate on the breathing process. The second is the counting method, which is known, perhaps, to everyone. However, you need to add a little nuance: when inhaling, call the next number, and when exhaling, give yourself the command to sleep.

Try to create a nightmare yourself. Only with a different plot development. Those. imagine the beginning of your dream, and then carefully, in all the details, compose a completely different, not nightmarish continuation of it. It may well be that after this you will again have a nightmare, and more than once, however, if after every nightmare and before bedtime you persistently “lose” a different plot of its development in your mind, it will recede.
