What are hypnagogic hallucinations?
If a person experiences hypnagogic hallucinations alongside narcolepsy, schizophrenia, or another related condition, treatment will focus on managing these associated conditions.
Prevention strategies
If a person’s quality of life is not affected by their hypnagogic hallucinations, they may not need treatment.
And if there is no underlying medical condition, lifestyle changes may reduce the frequency of hallucinations.
Getting enough sleep and avoiding drugs and alcohol can reduce their frequency. If hypnagogic hallucinations cause disrupted sleep or anxiety, a doctor might prescribe medication.
