I calm myself by diving into a search for distraction—my most effective medicine thus far.

I'll regulate my breath first, drink a glass of water.. if that doesn't work I'll watch something to distract my mind from the bad dream.

Minum air putih, turu lagi

cuci muka lalu minum dan lanjut tidur

Based on my experience, it was so difficult to open my eyes fully after had a nightmare. I will grab my phone to play any sound so I can be fully awake.
