Problems with falling asleep or daytime sleepiness affect approximately 35 to 40% of the U.S. adult population. Individuals with BPD experience significantly greater instances of nightmares, increased levels of dream anxiety, and disturbed sleep. • Unfortunately, despite the high prevalence, sleep disorders remain poorly identified; less than 20% of individuals with insomnia or a related sleep disorder are correctly diagnosed and treated. • “What could be” (what are we aspiring to): • Disrupted sleep can severely impact your ability to manage your thoughts, moods, and behaviors.

Dream anxiety is not in the DSM-5 but are characterized by feelings of uneasiness, distress, or apprehension upon waking. Anxiety dreams occur in rapid eye movement sleep and tend to involve incomplete tasks, embarrassment, falling, or being chased or pursued. • What is Nightmare Disorder? • • Repeated occurrences of extended, extremely dysphoric, and well-remembered dreams that usually involve efforts to avoid threats to survival, security, or physical integrity and that generally occur during the second half of the major sleep episode. • • On awakening from the dysphoric dreams, the individual rapidly becomes oriented and alert. • • The sleep disturbance causes clinically significant distress or impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of functioning. • Daniel J.
