It's common among sleep disorders that most people have kind of experienced a symptom here or there, right?
I think about everybody's had a bad night of sleep, but when does that become insomnia disorder?
Well, about 85% of US adults have had a nightmare in the last year, but certainly not that many have a nightmare disorder.

We really think about some key factors that are shared across the different diagnostic symptoms that we use.
But some of my colleagues in this area have come up with a great acronym that I like called DARC.

A is they cause awakenings.
R is there's recalled content.
And C is about clinical distress or impairment.
And so those things are are really key when we think about nightmare disorder that most people think about having the disturbing dreams, but is it causing an awakening?
