About dreams...I often don't remember them, but then when I'm drifting off into light sleep, the dreams will give flits of recurrence. I recognize them and will try to recover the theme of them.
I realize this probably doesn't help you.
Regarding sleep...do you indulge in any foods/drinks that are laden with stimulants, like coffee, cola, etc? I have learned that these things will keep me awake sometimes all night.
I have also observed that if I participate in some rigorous exercise ...really anytime during the day...my sleep is better. I admit, I often neglect to do this, but when I do, I sleep much better. |
Exercise is an Extremely effective way to help yourself sleep. The domamine released soothes the mind and also curb your appetite. I can tell a BIG difference on the days I get both of my walks in VS not walking.
The caffiene effects can vary based on your brain chemistry. I have ADD, so my neuro-T's are natually low. When I first started taking Adderall, I worried about taking it too late, then not being able to sleep. I found the opposite to be true. When my meds wear off my thoughts start racing through my head, This makes it hard to sleep even though you are tired. I have less trouble sleeping taking my last Adderall two hours later than I used too. I can finish a coffee at 10pm and go to bed... Weird, huh...
