Thread: A few questions

I too have had problems with insomnia in the past, and regulating my eating/sleep schedules with addition to taking a Melatonin supplement (natural sleep aid) has significantly helped me cut the time it takes to nod off. Although I can't say that this has helped me get more LDs, who couldn't use a few more hours of sleep?
In regard to the dream journal dilemma, don't give up. Even if your dream recall is poor, keep practicing. If you feel that you can't remember anything, make an effort to put down something (feelings that you felt as you awakened, the impression you got from the dream, etc.) Having something on the page will give a psychological boost if nothing else. In the past few months my recall has improved from zero to around two dreams a night, so don't give up hope

Edit: Keep in mind that Coca-Cola is high in caffeine, which is a big sleep killer. I'd buy the non-caffeinated variety if possible, and try to cut down on sugar before sleep.
