So much science on this thread.

I love it.

I've got no problems sleeping when i take my Melatonine pills. The reason i use them is because my ADHD prevents me from getting tired/falling asleep.

I usually pop caffeine pills around 1 PM which keep me up all night, maybe until morning if I abuse tea and coffee, as well.

Melatonin works really well if you take it regularly every night, around the time you want to go to sleep, it gets your Circadian rhythm changed up after a week or so.

Hehe you know what would be a better thread title for this, "What do you dream about when you sleep"? Just curious, i have had some weird dreams where I would just see some old hag rocking back and forth on a rocking chair sowing a sweater lmao.

Don't even get me started on this topic lol. I could talk for a month about this lol. Last night I had a dream that I had my arms and legs cut off and got robot limbs and in order to grow them back, I had to eat them. So my mom literally has me help her barbecue my arms and legs and since I'm a generous person, I figure I'd share myself with some people and we had lunch. I ate an entire arm with a side of some salad then I started freaking out because I forgot I had a dog and I started screaming where it could've been. I frantically run around the house screaming then I run into the basement then I look in the corner and see a dying puppy whose face is all wet from crying and I run over to then start crying too then it bit my arm and I just laughed because I just ate that arm then I woke up. I don't have a dog.

If you use it recreationally, yeah. But I'm not really into that.

This is my favorite topic, because I am a lucid dreamer.

Basically this means I am aware that it is a dream giving me the power to do anything I want (sort of like Inception) and I can always remember them as well. Like I can think of something and it will appear before my eyes, when I first discovered I could do this easily I was 13 and I flew around and had a bunch of models on the ground staring at me.

You know what body part of yours I would like to eat?

omg dude so true, this girl in my school I like doesn't notice me and never talks to me but she's so frigging hot and I like her, in my dreams you can imagine what I do with her.

The only downside I have experienced with Lucid Dreaming is sleep paralysis, you wake up but you're still half asleep which means you can look around and are conscious of what is happening around you but you can not move and during this you under go heavy hallucinations which are often dark and twisted because you are stimulated with fear, 0/10 would not recommend.

Also, this one time I had woken up from a dream and decided to get ready for the morning and then I realized I didn't actually wake up and I was still dreaming about waking up from another dream.

Or when something normal but tragic happens, and you think it's real. -900/10

Almonds actually increase livid dreaming rate. Science side of graal, please explain.

I once had a dream/half lucid dream/inception idk, where I was falling asleep (in reality) and everything was beginning to get all crazy and my mind was in hyper mode or in deep rem, as they call it. But somehow, I managed to open my eyes in the real world and I could see both reality and the dream world. I was dreaming about fighting some samurai with my apprentice, but what was crazy was I when I moved my arms in real life, they moved in the dream. I wanted to try something crazy, so I did a backflip in the dream, and I noticed my legs moved irl which I thought was pretty cool. But here's what gets crazier: I passed out completely, and I dreamt that I went to school regularly that whole day. Then I was telling a friend of mine about the dream then he stops, looks me dead in the eye and says: "You're still dreaming." Then I snap awake back in my room, and I'm looking around. At this point I'm not sure if it's sleep paralysis or something, but I become really creeped out because I'm seeing all sorts of crazy ****. There's figures walking in and out of walls, something standing in the corner and I'm hearing whispers everywhere. So just decide to play it cool and relax, then I look to my right then I see a ghostly face open it's mouth to devour me, then I woke up for real that time and had trouble figuring out what was real and what wasn't for a good ten minutes.

I take some beta ass sleeping pills but they work so whatever, shame they take 3 hours to kick in.

Placebo, that stuff is meant to be used over a long period of time (2+ weeks). I tried taking it consistently but it did nothing. There are many people who will fall asleep after their melatonin levels increase though, but taking it once or twice and then quickly falling asleep is placebo in action.

Taking a few benadryl actually helps me a lot when I run out of ambien. My doctor won't put me on ambien since she doesn't want me to become dependant on sleeping medication at 16. It sucks, but oh well.

Blueh does your friend have brown hair and like squinty eyes with a grey hoddie??

No?
