    Children frequently experience night terrors, with almost 40% having them though most grow out of it by their teens. While less common, around 3% of adults can still have night terrors. Eating late at night makes nightmares more likely because it increases metabolism and brain activity, and certain medications like antidepressants and narcotics also increase nightmare frequency. Negative emotions such as confusion, disgust, sadness and guilt are more common causes of nightmares than fear alone.
