      Mint Tea? Your opinion

      Hey...

      Question... Mint tea. everybody says it works, and I have a hunch it might be a placebo... but anyways the point is, has anyone had any experience with OTHER kinds of teas that had the same effect on your dreams? Because I don't particularly care for mint tea, but I do like other kinds of tea. And plus, I can't find it at the grocery store that often, and we happen to be out I haven't experimented with it that much... It worked one time, but ANYWAY to the point: have other kinds of teas worked for you, in the same way mint tea has?

      Thanks for your input

      Bryan

      I've always considered myself fairly immune to the placebo effect. Comes with having a high tolerance to a lot of things. I've been having a cup of mint tea between 9 PM and going to sleep, usually between 11-12:30, for about 5 days, and have noticed dreams lasting longer than usual. I'm also in the second week of taking B6, 100mg, around the same time. Could be either, or a combination. The only other thing that's entered my system in this time besides caffeine, nicotine, and food, was some Cuervo Gold, and I didn't dream worth a damn on Cuervo night. The best results were when I finished the tea right before gong to lie down. I don't know if it was the timing, or the week long build-up, as that was last night. See what tonight brings. Anyway, I would have been undecided on the placebo effect after one or two nights, but now, I don't think that's the case.

      It's a combination of spearmint and peppermint I drink. If you don't like mint tea, this stuff will definitely repel you.

      Mint tea doesn't really make me sleepy, but I suspect if you find a tea that does, that may help, as you can fall asleep with thoughts of LDs, instead of lying there until your mind wanders.
