      Weird brain

      OK, so I've heard that many people relax when they listen to (relaxing, duh) music when they go to bed at night. It sometimes even helps to induce LD's. But in my case, this is just not true. When I'm listening to really calm music, I can't sleep. In fact as long as the music is playing I feel as if it's still noon - full of energy. Also I usually sleep really bad at night - while I instantly fall asleep in the early afternoon (3-4PM)

      My REM cycles seem to be messed up too. They say that most dreams (especially LD's) occur during the REM sleep. But I usually can't remember any dreams from this period.
      And if I fall asleep during the afternoon, and sleep for 20 mins-1.5 hours then I can remember EVERY single detail from my dreams.
      My dreams start the same second I fall asleep and they end the moment I open my eyes... r.e.m. sleep my ASS!

      Any ideas?
      Current projects:
      -Acquire the Aurora
      -Test galatamine, huperzine and choline
      -Find smartwatch app for RC reminders at certain intervals
      -Ressurect my dream log here, and become more active

      That's not abnormal for you to not be able to sleep while listening to music. Everyone is different... what works for one person won't necessarily work for another.

      As far as I know, you are in REM during day naps...

      From what you're saying, my guess is that you don't properly get into REM during the night because of your sleep problems.

      What I'm trying to say is that you're probably dreaming during REM like the rest of us, but you're just getting a bit confused on what REM is and what it isn't.

      I thought REM sleep begins after 90 minutes of sleep?
      Guess the scientists were wrong.

      And it's pretty weird that I can't sleep with music. Last year I accidentally fell asleep while listening to music, and I entered some sort of coma.
      My friends tried to wake me up by hitting me with a pillow and later a shoe; but I only woke up when they turned of my music.

      It does, if you have a normal sleeping schedule during the night.

      Naps during the day are different. The schedule of sleep cycle is not the same.

      The scientists aren't wrong.
