Amy Winehouse gives us nightmares
Up there with falling from a great height and being chased, Amy Winehouse has been named as one of the most common nightmares.
A survey of 3,500 brits found that one in ten has had a scary snooze in the last week and that women are twice as likely to have a nightmare.
The most common themes are being chased, losing a loved one, falling from a height, not having any money, being jobless and being attacked by spiders.
And horror-flick-faced Amy is the famous person who most often makes a cameo nightmare appearance ... though this is probably just in people who have seen her that day.
A spokesperson for Travelodge who commissioned the research said: "Thoughts, such as losing your job, being homeless, falling and being chased are a manifestation of how much the credit crunch is affecting our daily lives and causing distressed sleep patterns.
"For example, dreaming about being chased or falling is a reaction to the stresses we face in life, the attacker (or falling) in the dream represents the emotion of fear and anxiety."
Other celebs who frequently scare Brits at night include Marilyn Manson, Gordon Brown, Pete Doherty and The Cheeky Girls.
