Hello all.

I recently found this site, and began some reading on the subject. I also have some questions regarding certain sleep aiding substances.

For about a year now I have been taking melatonin and benadryl to help me sleep, both are available off the shelf. And I was wondering, would taking these affect my dream recall ability, and my chances of having a lucid dream? It seems when I take them, I have a lot harder of a time remembering my dreams the next morning, often it seems like I don't even have dreams at all. It would be hard for me to stop taking them, since they do wonders for helping me sleep. They don't really knock me out, but I do usually fall asleep with in 20 minutes after taking them.
