alright, i had some horrific insomnia last night and was unable to sleep, then at 6:30 AM, i conk out and wake up having had no dreams whatsoever at 11:00 AM. My question is, what kind of effect will it have on this night's dreams, and what should my wbtb time be?
Unrelated:
What do you guys think about my signature?
It's not that you had no dreams, you simply don't recall them. Not having a regular sleep schedule, which seems like what happened in your case, doesn't particularly help recall, but there are many other factors that disrupt/influence it.Quote:

It's a good signature that most of us can relate to :) Just fix the typo "you're"Quote:

thanks, but that doesn't answer my question. how exactly should i change my wbtb time?
Only you can find the ideal WBTB time. Generally it will be after several hours of sleep. A standard recommendation is after sleeping 5-7 hours. But you must experiment with WBTB start time and duration, taking in to consideration your overall levels of rest, whether you're experiencing stress/anxiety or not, etc. LD practice is a looong path of self-discovery and experimentation.Quote:

I felt terrible after 5-HTP, I tried it a few times. Melatonin is much more agreeable to me, but I don't like taking anything on a regular basis. 3mg of melatonin at bedtime will generally give me pretty wild dreams in the late morning, but it's not a guarantee.
How do you feel after taking 5-HTP? I personally feel no physical effect on my body in the morning other than feeling more refreshed then usual.Quote:
