Dreaming is not a bonus for everyone.
Almost all of my dreams were nightmares and so for over a decade, I couldn't sleep without the light on, at least once a month I couldn't fall asleep until sunrise.
I eventually decided that I would stop dreaming, and so I told myself every evening and every morning that "I do not dream" until one day it was true.
I need about 10 hours of sleep to feel refreshed and about a handful of times a year I still have a dream or nightmare. I wish I could get by on only a few hours of sleep a night.
