7. Restless Leg Syndrome

Restless leg syndrome, a sleep disorder that prevents the legs from relaxing during the night, can cause nightmares. The body is not at rest, so neither is the brain, which is always trying to find a reason why the body is doing what it is doing. In this case, it comes up with nightmares to explain what is happening, which leads to more restless nights.
