Thread: Can exhaustion affect recall, and what else can affect it?

Yeah totally.

Im going through exams. And so the stress is keeping me awake. I fall asleep at like 1 am and wake up at 7. I remember only faded scenes from dreams. I usually have good recall. 4 a night or so. But when i am really tired, i remember little to nothing. Don't worry about it.

I haven't tested this (because i will be getting enough sleep come 2 or 3 days). But i would assume that you can develop recall for nights like that as well. Try writing down anything you can remember. If you are going to always be exhausted you might as well give it a shot. Write down feelings you get when you wake up. If you had fun dream..but cant remember it, write down that you feel playful. Write down anything. Eventually i would assume it would get stronger.


Goodluck.

Happy dreaming.

I think it helps it, especially if the last thing you think is about remembering dreams. All of my LD's happen when I am really sleepy and fall asleep real quick.
