Here's a poem. Insomnia!?




So many things run through my head
As I lay in this bed
Nothing, but thoughts glide through my mind
So I’m laying awake instead,

Wishing for some kind of sleep tonight
Some sign of little relief
No dreams come for me now
They leave me in my grief,

Thinking through the present and past
Hoping this spell won’t last
How many hours must I lay here awake
Before slumber can be casted,

Many hours are passing by
As I start to cry
Wondering if I’ll sleep tonight
Trying to figure out why,

Morning comes after long hours spent
Thoughts still moving, no slumber meant
Now it’s time to begin again
As I quietly stir from my bed…
This one is a little different to the ones I have written before, but this was wrote after a really bad sleep last night. So in a way this was a true story. Thanx for reading it!

I’ve been feeling depressed since the beginning of summer 2008 and it’s been getting worse recently and I’ve noticed I’m recalling my dreams more often. I think when my depression was really bad a few months ago I recalled several of my dreams, also.

Do you know or have you heard anything about depression and dreams being related?

Melatonin/?




I’ve took it for like a week about a month ago, and it messed me up, it made everything feel like dreams and I felt horrible. Right now I’m going to sleep, but I’d like to know if anyone else have had problems or just want to say something about melatonin.
To respond to the person under me; they are completely safe for you, and most people are okay with taking them. I’m just like..i dont know it just ruins my conscience.
And yes I do take it BEFORE i go to bed, about 5 minutes. And i only take 1 MG.

What does it mean that I havent had dreams in over a year? I’m looking for a solid answer, not exhaustion or stress. I know that dreams are essential for the brain to recharge, so why havent I had any?

Can a person dream without REM sleep?




It says you cant, but I did. It also says you dont dream while intoxicated which is BS. It also says one doenst get "good" sleep without REM sleep. I had dreams, yet Im tired. I drank and had dreams, but I feel really fatigued. Was it REM sleep? Whats going on here?

sleep disorder?




I work nights 5pm to 1am
i go to bed around 3am
set the alarm for 2pm
I sleep through it every time
I eventualy downloaded an alarm clock that you can adjust to be more effective, i set it to 1060 hz which was ear piercing to me.
set the 3 alarm clocks i have and the computer to 2 pm and i slept until 6pm the 3 clocks im assuming shut off long before i woke up but the computer was still going. and was still ear piercing when i finaly woke up

Why can i not hear ANYTHING when im sleeping, its been like this for as long as i can remember and ive lost a few jobs because of it, im coming close to losing a 4th job

Any suggestions? is this a sleep disorder?

Only answer if you know it’s a fact, please! I read somewhere that it is believed that we jerk our eyes so that we can view whatever’s in our dreams, but I think that our eyes are moving too rapidly for that to be true.

I’m 16 years old and have entered a competition with some of my friends on who can go the longest without masturbating. the winner gets 60 dollars. It has been about five days and I have began to notice my dreams are getting much more vivid and crazy. Is this because of melatonin, DMT or any other hormone.

Whar type of sleep disorder is this?




My mom may have a sleep disorder and we do not know what it is. She falls to sleep very easy, all she has to do is lay down. Half the time she is not even tired. Then when morning comes she has trouble waking up. Someone has to call her in order for her to wake up all the way or she will fall back to sleep. She is not having irregular dreams or breathing patterns, but I am very concerned about her.

Though there is no definitive proof either way, I believe the memory and logic centers of the brain shut off when we dream.

Otherwise there is no possible way things such as being able to fly; monsters; thoughts of dead people interreacting with us; etc could occur.

I’ve had dreams of being back in the 8th grade without realizing I am 25 years old and in Grad School.

I’ve had dreams of being able to fly without knowledge of how I attained the power or a realization that gravity doesn’t allow for it.

I’ve woken in the morning without being able to remember who I am, where I am, etc.

In my dreams I’ve done extremely illogical things:
killing without hesitation, incest, and worst of all, running in fear only to somehow run slower and slower with each step.

I feel the brain’s memory and logic centers shut down during sleep. Is there evidence otherwise?

It’s like sometimes my dreams become intertwine with real life. To the point that I can’t tell what’s real or not.
My dreams are sometimes vivid and seem like real life … I don’t think it’s mental.

Is it possible to dream out of REM sleep?




I have learnt that REM sleep is the time when most people have dreams. However, I get dreams while taking short naps of 15 min to 30 min. I often get dreams even with 15 min sleep! Does that make me abnormal or am I just really good at sleeping?

What is it about Melatonin that causes weird dreams?




I tried melatonin a few days ago to help me sleep a little better and I had the weirdest dreams. I asked a few friends and they said that melatonin did the same thing to them — made them have really crazy, even warped dreams. What is it exactly about melatonin that causes that?

Does anyone else have a sleep disorder?




I walk/talk in my sleep, call out to people, act out dreams, and even cook a meal or play on the computer. Help!! I read where part of the brain doesnt go 2 sleep and so the activity. Is this true? I would love 2 talk 2 someone who has the same problem. I am type 2 dibetic, so eating sweets is NOT good.

narcolepsy?




I’ve been having trouble waking up in the mornings.
I’ve usually woke up at about 8:40 every morning.
But I don’t go to sleep untill 11:30.

Tonight I fell asleep at 11:30, but at 9:40 I FORCED myself to get up, even though I was still VERY tired.

Is this narcolepsy? Or something else?
Also, I haven’t been having any dreams..

I also can’t force myself to fall asleep at a specific time.
