I often have incredibly vivid dreams during short naps but not during full night’s sleep. Is there a reason why we dream more intensely during naps? Does it say something about our sleep cycles or mental state?

I’ve had the same experience! It’s like naps bring out the weirdest dreams. Maybe because they’re short, we stay in a lighter sleep stage, so the dreams are more intense.

This happens to me too! I get more vivid dreams during a 20-minute nap than a full night’s sleep. I always thought it was weird but maybe it has something to do with our brain not fully shutting down.

I think naps mess with our sleep cycle, so the brain kind of skips to the more active dreaming stages. That’s why they feel more vivid even though we’re not in deep sleep.

Yeah, naps for me are always full of dreams! It’s like my brain wants to cram in a whole night’s worth of dreaming into a short nap. It’s really interesting.
