I’ve been using Ollie sleep gummies about 50% of the time for a month. My sleep IS much improved, but I have frequent, horrible nightmares. Come to find out any sleep they can “cause“ nightmares because it increases the depth and amount of REM sleep you get. #FML #nightmares #perimenopause

It's a lesson many still have yet to learn

You cannot be surprised when things like this occur
