So I'm buying 5HTP tomorrow. Has anyone here tried it? Does it work? Tips? Intructions? Opinions? I'd love to know how your experiences with it were. |

So ... is this the real universe, or is it just a preliminary study?
I take it sometimes when I want my dreams to be extra vivid/memorable. My first experience with it wasnt really great though. I used to have an afternoon job so I'd sleep in until noon and get home from work after midnight, and taking 5htp on that kind of sleep schedule gave me insomnia and made me super groggy when it was time to wake up. I only took it for a few days before I decided against it. I take it now on days I am off because of the dream benefits, but I also have a much more "normal" sleep schedule with bedtime beimg between eight and ten. It still makes me groggy, but I have no problem falling asleep with now. I suggest that if you try it, you try it when you are not working or busy the next day so if you get insomnia or end up groggy it wont be such a big deal. |

I have used up over 2 bottles of 5-HTP, 30 pills each. |

wisdom is knowing I'm nothing
Love is knowing I'm everything
And between the two my life moves
I find 100mg works well, or maybe 200mg if I want to sleep longer before waking back up |

My experiance with 5-HTP is a bit hit and miss. |

Yes just before bed or like 30min to 2hrs before |

I like destruction and reality, and one invariably leads to the other.
'Dreams are real while they last. Can we say more of life?'
'We die to remember what we live to forget'
You have to be particularly careful when taking lots of things |

Mmm have to say that for me 5-HTP isn't working as a REM rebound, I'm discovering as I log more entries that I seem to dream for the first part of my sleep, I then wake after 2 - 3 hrs, record the dream, back to bed & if I don't go lucid I have no recall at all... |

It's been my experience that falling asleep at WBTB-time is greatly helped by either of the following: |

25-50mg of B6 per day is probably ultra safe |

Well I've been clean all weekend but maybe someone here can advise. |

generally it is supposed to pretty much eliminate dreaming at the end of the first cycle, and reduce it at the end of the second (but I often remember a dream when I wake up at 2.5-3.5 hours in, it is just likely shorter than it would have been). After the first two cycles tho I will largely be building up Serotonin in your brain and that should keep you brain more active, causing you some difficulty getting to sleep or staying asleep, but giving you more focus in your dreams which could allow you to notice your dreaming and become lucid. |

Re Melatonin, I have that in the cream formula, one pump equals 3mg & I tend to rub it into my face & head. What type of doe do you take Coolymd? |
|
I'm not a believer in OBE or Astral stuff to me tis all just lucid dream, if you set an intention to be a rock in your next 100 lucids and acheive it 99 times you can coin a new term DAAR, and beileve that thats what it is but it is just you choosing to be a rock in your dream btw (DAAR would stand for Dumb As A Rock) he he |

maybe you should work on dream recall before other stuff |

The app is called sleep & is currently my favourite app for this stuff & the device is an HTC One X, few years oldf now but works fine for this stuff. |

So its like a phone you tape to your body? and then get results |

Oooh are you talking about the Basis Peak Ultimate Fitness and Sleep Tracker, has a B&W LCD screen? If so looks good, there is a used one on Amazon for £123 or new for £169. Saying that the fitbit 3 seems to have a better sleep cycle recorder & having looked at the app pics in google plays seems to cover REM. |
|
just remember the Peak is good at REM but it may be crap at activity compared to some other activity monitors, so be sure you want it just for sleep tho I hear it has been getting better |
