I might suggest something to counter the sleep aids. If you sleep too deeply, you are most likely to not be conscious enough to even recall dreaming at all, let alone conscious enough to attain lucidity. B-6 is pretty good when used with Melatonin. It seems to speed you up a little bit which helps bring your consciousness a little further to the surface while the melatonin still works to keep you in your sleep cycles. That sort of approach might help you more, but of course it may depend on the person. Just something to consider. |

I see similar sleep patterns on diphenhydramine (the active ingredient in benadryl) in myself to when I'm not on it. But my recall is non-existant. |

I don't want to hear about the brain from someone that doesn't have one.
Nor do I want to hear about evolution from someone that hasn't evolved.
I don't believe that there is a sleep aid wether it be herbal or medication that is either prescribed or over the counter the does not represss dream recall. |

I agree. One of the main side effects, often played upon in the surgical theatre, of anesthesia and sedatives is moderate to high levels of amnesia. |

If you dont mind me asking I was just wondering why you take these every night and how long have you been doing this? I know in the past I have had my own reasons for taking sleep aids whether it be because of stress or other reasons. When I was taking them I have had no dream recall. I think that I have some dream recall when I take tylenol PM's but not much. |

When i take melatonin i have no recall at all, i woudlent sugest taking it if your trying to recall dreams, if you have trouble sleeping the best way to get to sleep without any aids is excersize. It will make you tired and you can hopefully fall asleep better. |

For many people, exercise atleast an hour before going to bed is a great way of having a good night's sleep. |

Well as far as Ambien(zolpidem tartrate) is concerned, I have had amnesia from it before, though drinking alcohol very quickly increases the possibility for that to happen. Ambien is a very powerful sleep aide. I took a single 10 mg pill the first time I used it and was seeing double in about 30 minutes. Of course you are supposed to take it and then get in bed, but I figured it would take awhile to kick in. It didn't take me long to find out that it acts very quickly. When I have taken Melatonin I sleep very well and if its the kind that had B6 in it as well my recall would actually be pretty good, though not consistently. There are lots of factors in it like body chemistry so I think people need to find out for themselves. |

As long as it has been since reading about the excersizing before sleep it could very well have been proven that as little as 20 minutes could "burn off" the adrenaline created. |

The trick is finding what works for you and what doesn't. The national sleep foundation's website has alot of info and advise in this area. www.sleepfoundation.org |
