The method includes monitoring, via a first number of sensors, a number of characteristics and/or activities of the patient during a number of wake periods of the patient.

Abstract: A method of managing and reducing the recall frequency of disturbing dreams comprises monitoring (100; 200; 300) electroencephalography (EEG) activity of a subject, detecting (102; 206; 302) an indicator of a disturbing dream of the subject based on power in a theta or alpha band of the EEG activity of the subject, and providing stimulation (104; 212; 308) to the subject at a frequency lower than the theta band in response to detecting the indicator of the disturbing dream.
