      Don't smoke pot before bed.

      Don't sleep with the TV on.

      Don't eat a bunch before bed.

      Avoid thinking about heavy topics.


      hmm. that's all I got at the moment.

      Basically everything he said. I hate to down weed but honestly if you want to have any recall at all you will have to refrain from smoking before bed or very often (twice a week would probably be fine). Not saying you do smoke, but if you do, there's your warning. I chose weed over LDing, and quite commonly I'll smoke just about everyday, often multiple times a day. Occasionally I'll get the random LD, but it's of terrible quality (usually they're WILDs too! marijuana obviously has a detrimental effect on clarity and dream quality) and VERY short lived--usually anywhere from 5 seconds to 5 minutes.

      Refrian from eating candy. It gives me zombie nightmares which is what made Easter suck for me after downing a hug basket of candy.
      Try not. Do or do not. There is no try.

      Dont drink caffeinated things like tea, coffee, coke, etc.

      Dont get anxious thinking about work or problems that are stressing you out.

      Dont let your pets sleep on the bed and disturb you!!!

      Staying offline/off the computer before bed would in theory be helpful yes, to quiet the brain.

      I'm always online/on the computer before bed though. Perhaps it would depend on what you're doing..

      examples; talking about tomorrow or reading the news = not good
      talking about dreams or looking at pictures of places you'd like to visit = good

      I'm probably doing dumb things online and should actually stay offline before bed.

      We should take meal before going to bed.
      The main reason is that it is really effective for over weight and it also cause many problems of stomach that is really important to improve the the digestive systems.

      I am curious about this, have tried it on occasions but generally refrain from doing so anymore. Reason being I become too awake and aware, might be doing something wrong though ^^
