A life-threatening disorder: Associated with increased risk for depression, anxiety, substance use, chronic pain, heart disease, and suicide.
Nightmare Disorder
Frightening. Emotional. Traumatic.
Frightening, recurring, well-remembered dreams: Impacting 2% to 8% of people in the general population.

Personal experience

Overcoming your insomnia and nightmares takes effort and a commitment to change. This is a practice. It's more difficult than taking a pill. It's also more effective and lasts longer. Skills have no side effects. They work for as long as you practice them, perhaps for a lifetime. If you’re willing to put in the effort, if you’re willing to practice, if you’re committed to changing your life by changing your sleep, it’s worth far more than it costs.
