“…Mechanisms of this were not examined in the present study. However, the results were consistent with findings that some form of emotional dysregulation has been noted as a primary factor in nightmare distress in both theory (Levin & Nielsen, 2007) and empirical findings (Schredl et al, 2021; Wang et al, 2023). This may partly be due to construct overlaps between dysregulated emotions and nightmare distress (Levin & Nielsen, 2007).…”

Research indicates that adults suffering from nightmares rarely seek professional help for their condition. However, nothing is known about the help-seeking behavior in adolescents with frequent nightmares. In a sample of 100 adolescents (50 female, 50 male) with a mean age of 15.30 ± 0.80 years, it was found that none of them ever sought professional help for nightmares, even though 21 participants (15 females, 6 males) reported frequent nightmares (once a week or more often) and/or quite or very distressing nightmares. As nightmares are associated with a variety of mental problems in adolescents and can persist into adulthood, it seems very important to find ways to reduce the number of untreated nightmare sufferers in this age group.
