      cant sleep lon enough to REM

      Ok so last night was my first attempt to start trying to dream recall. Had my dream journal and pen nearby. Set my alarm clock for 5:30 timed it just right to wake me up during REM. But it never occured to me that hey, i can never sleep long enough to have REM(i dont think anyhow) So I went to sleep rather fast and awoke way b4 my alarm was to go off. Tried to remember any dreams.. negative. went back to sleep. Awoke again.. negative.. this happened throughout the night. Needless to say I didnt remember anything. I seem to have forgotten that I never get a good nights sleep. I can never sleep a whole night without waking a few times throughout the course. So what do I do... I was thnking of taking sleeping pills to help me sleep. Is that going too far? It's not only for this dream recall but hey I also deserve to sleep a whole night w/o interuption right??

      hmmm....probably someone with more experience should field this...

      but from what I know you naturally awaken everynight as part of REM. Some people remember this. Some people dont. You could still be experiencing REM, just awakening during the periods.

      And REM lasts all night, just in different times. So awakening naturally before your alarm could still be caused by this.


      Maybe you should read up on this:
