Thread: I won't give up this time.

Something like melatonin might help.

Yh u have a point. It could be the environment, but i've always had this problem since i was a kid. Maybe i should try some melatonin or i might give meditation a go. (I've heard a lot of good things about meditating)

Avatar Haha, love it.
Anyway, keep up with the dream journal, use affirmations (+during RC's), lay in bed with eyes closed trying to remember, keep a consistent sleeping schedule. You could also try waking yourself up with an alarm clock during the night. It's not fun but doing it repeatedly for a couple days will help peak your mind in the following days without an alarm. Write down anything you remember. Also, if you're an insomniac like me, staying up all night and sleeping all day, wake up as soon as you can, like 5 or 6am, which helps tire you by 8-10pm. Or maybe you need to exercise more during the day. That's all I have for now. Sorry if it's unhelpful, I hope your recall increases!

Simple, yet effective in the most of the cases. I used to lie in bed for hour in the past, before I fall asleep. Adding a little bit of a workout every day or expanding the current one will help...well, only if you don't suffer from really severe insomnia, when you tired as hell but can't fall asleep. That one is horrible

it's like a rave in here... idk what's going on though.
all i know is there's some raving toads.
i like rainbow toads.

AAAHHHHHH! I have had a really rough week and a half. Still haven't remembered one dream. I keep turning off my alarm that says "remember any dreams?" but I don't even remember doing this usually. And I just can't seem to get over 6 hours of sleep. I need to get in a regular sleeping schedule.

I started taking trazodone again for sleeping, since I stopped smoking I have not slept nearly as well. Does trazodone effect anything with sleep, besides just helping to fall asleep? I won't be taking this every night.
Well its spring break and I have no life, there for I will try to get to bed by 11 or 12 each night and sleep until 9 or 10. IM GOING TO REMEMBER A DREAM THIS WEEK.

you just ignored my entire post dawg...

READ THIS!
Drink apple juice before bed.

Also, before you fall asleep, recall everything you did in your day, all the important events etc. run through your day in your head.

I guarantee this well help with your recall.
