      Sleeping tablets?

      Do sleeping tablets have any effect on dreaming? I seem to recall something about them reducing REM sleep. but I am not sure where I found that. What are your experiences?

      I take the odd sleeping tablet when I have had a few nights of poor sleep. But if it is going to affect my dream recall or my dreams I will be more reluctant to do this.

      Some supplements such as Alpha Brain contain Acetylcholine, which actually broadens REM sleep, and can induce vivid lucid dreams. I've really wanted to try it, but I don't know of any places that sell it.

      Personally I've never had a sleeping pill in my life, but I've noticed that taking certain supplements can sometimes either reduce or increase my dream recall. I've even heard that apple juice before bed can make your dreams for vivid.

      Treasure yourself.

      Thanks. I've also read about the apple juice. I eat a banana before bed, I've read about that too, and I love bananas so that is easy.

      But I mean prescription sleeping tablets, like Ambien or other benzodiazepines. My doctor is fussy about me getting enough sleep, so she prescribes them. I don't take them every night, though. And if they are going to lessen my dreaming experience I am going to take them even less!
