Thread: side effects of nightly LDs

No, I don't wbtb anymore. I WILD at bedtime and get 7-8 hours of night sleep and sometimes I even have a short daytime nap in which i sometimes also WILD. I only wbtb when my bedtime WILD fails which is pretty rare now.

In all I get around 8-9 hours of sleep daily. I'm confused.

Is oversleep possible? I notice that when I get 10-11 hours of sleep, I'm really tired during the day. 8-9 hours isn't that long, but maybe napping in the day throws off the schedule?

I take daytime naps only when I'm sleepy to begin with. I went to my doctor and he said he was confused too. He said exactly what redrivertears said: they are signs of sleep deprivation or fatigue/stress so if I slept 8-9 hours I need to see a specialist cuz he's stumped.

I really don't think it's overlseep since I normally sleep that amount without these side effects. I'll try to stop LDing for a while and see if it goes away, if not I'll see a specialist.

Whatever it is, I'm quite sure it doesn't have to do with LDing. If you want to be sure, I guess you could just stop LDing for a bit?

this happens to me too. my theory is that you do not get as good of sleep during lds because your brain is still working too hard since your conscious.

If you sleep over 8 hrs you will be tired the entire day and your vision is blured this is because you are in REM to long. (well not that it's bad) but that what happens.

And you wil be sore because you lie in a position for over eight hours. Try sitting on a chair for 6 and see if your ass isn't numb aftrewards.

Srry i'm just in a bad mood

peace

But that doesn't add up. Nothing about lucidity indicates that you somehow alter your sleep cycles. You simply take advantage of what is already there. In short, Paradigm's REM cycles are no longer than they would normally be. And since your brain works just as if you were awake during REM, even without lucidity, I don't think it's a factor.

Typically, I experience those symptoms when faced with a serious change in my sleeping pattern. Maybe I only slept 3 hours, or maybe I binged and slept 9. Either way, fatigue results.

I doubt lucidity is causing your problems (I've never heard of it before) but you can always check by halting your LDs for a bit.

I also doubt it's because of your lds, just take it easy and make sure u keep a regular sleep pattern going.

There you have it! DV gives better advice than a doctor for free
