Disturbing vivid dreams and waking up multiple times at night

Amy 🌈

Any advice? While I fall asleep at night easily, I've been having really disturbing vivid dreams at night for a number of weeks (I'm now 15 weeks 3 days). I wake up sweating sometimes multiple times in the middle of the night. My doctor said I could take Unisom at night and it does help when I take it but I don't like the idea of being reliant on it. Sleeping with a fan on helps a bit since I get really hot when I sleep since I've been pregnant and I think that exacerbates the bad dreams.

Anyone else experiencing this and have any tips?
