In the same article University of Michigan psychiatry professor Kirk Brower, who has studied "the interplay of alcohol and sleep in adults" stressed that "The finding does not mean there’s a cause-and-effect relationship. "
   Consultation with a child psychologist may be helpful if frightening dreams intensify and become more frequent as this may indicate a particular problem or life circumstance that needs to be changed or one that the child may need extra help working through.
   Most childhood sleep disturbance will diminish over time as the brain matures and a regular sleep-wake cycle is established. Parental guidance is crucial to the development of healthy sleep habits in children.
