Good question. I don't have a very wide circle of acquaintances these days. I live with my co-star in an empty nest and she already sees me as a somewhat unique individual. I finish my exercise routine in the morning before work with a 4 minute headstand. I keep my dreaming to myself.

You're not much, if at all, into taking LD supplements, right? Do you ever take any natural sleep aids, though? Like theanine?

Do you do anything special with your diet?

What about mechanical or electronic devices, such a LD masks? I'm guessing not. But something like an LD mask might possibly have synergistic effects with what you're already doing.

No supplements. I tried Claridream very early on and decided i did not need it. No drugs....not even any medications.

I'm pretty tight with my diet. No junk food ever....lots of organic vegetables. No red meat for the last 40 years or so....organic poultry.

One major dietary enhancement is the kefir I have been making from grains for the last three years. I bought completely into that whole "gut bacteria rules the roost" thing back then and have not looked back. I am definitely a "bactosapien" these days. Healthier than I have ever been.

That's a long time to do a headstand! So she's not interested in your dreaming? Seems like most people aren't.

Good to not use them, especially if they're not needed.

That should be really healthy.

What does that taste like? Haven't tried that, but it's true the microorganisms in our body are really important. The bad ones can make us sick or kill us, but we'd die without the good ones.
