Haha, unfortunately I think you're right. I also have a group of skilled LDers I know, and we've moved elsewhere to discuss things. Plus, there's not too much reason to be here once you're at that point, other than to help others

Anyways, even though this is all unrelated to the original post, I wanted to mention one other thing. The majority of our sleep we are not in REM, especially during the first 4-6 hours until the REM periods get longer (but at that point you might already be adequately rested anyways). So I think that even if it is the case that we aren't resting as much, it would only affect 5-10% of our sleep right?

It's hard to say though, cause I think in general, LDers sleep more than most people anyways... and they know how to sleep! So we're all probably getting better rest than non-dreamers. Combining all these factors it's actually kinda hard to come up with a good conclusion on this. It's a cool discussion though
