 I am not an advocate of sleeping medication but tylenol does make this PM product that I use from time to time when I can't sleep. It does work but it is a temporary resolution.
To get to the bottom of your nightmares, you need to find the underlying cause. I agree with keeping a lot. You will most likely find some clues from the kind of nightmare you are having. There is some book out there that kind of tells you what flying dreams mean, etc. Once you know what you are dreaming, you may be able to figure out what your subconcious is trying to tell you.

 Hello
I am not an expect but I know usually when I have restless nights like that its because of anxiety. Like if something had been bothering me, or i am looking forward to something maybe a job interview anything that can get me excited and worried. I read that even using a mobile phone minutes before you went to bed can cause restless nights, your diet can be the cause, Iron deficiency, Long day at work, deadlines etc. For u to realise the cause observe your activities how u have changed them and see if its a new routine, your bed time is also important if u used to sleep late and now you are going early that can be a problem because your body has not adjusted to the new routine. If u can also detox your system that will help u if your diet was the problem.

 Is there any particular event that may of caused you to have these nightmares, for example a car accident or some other traumatic event?If not, i know from experience eating certain foods too late before bed gives me nightmares.Maybe you should try getting some 'pillow mist' to spray on your bedding, it may help relax you, and put you in a relaxed, happy state before falling asleep.Another thing to mention is, a friend of mine used to worry and stess about things, which caused them to have disturbed sleep, so try to resolve any issues before you go to bed, talk them through, or write down your thoughts.You could also keep a diary of these nightmares to see if there is any reoccuring pattern, this may also help if you decide to get medical help.
