I am interested in this too, but why mention b6? Now there will be a whole debate distracting from the exercising. |

I'm curious about what kind of effect exercising and dieting have on dream recall? Personally, I go to the gym every morning around 4:30 am and do weight training, which lasts for about an hour and a half. My diet is high in protein, low in saturated fat, and I consume a good amount of vegetables and fruits. Generally, I have an inconsistent dream recall, and I'm not sure if exercising and my diet may be the cause of it. |

I can't sleep. There is a woman stuck between my eyelids. I would tell her to get out if I could. But there is a woman stuck in my throat.

Hmmm, I see what you mean. Ignore my b6 question |

It seems a little early to begin a workout. I don't know how the earliness will affect things. I do know that late workouts tend to decrease dream recall. |

Increased physical activity during the day can lead to decreased REM sleep and increased deep sleep (SWS). This is scientifically proven. Although it is possible that this could have a b6 like rebound effect, and it could potentially increase REM later in the sleeping period. |

possibly, but only the first one has been proven scientifically. So go with that. |

Well, the way i look at it is like.. The mind is more aware when well rested, so sleep is neccessary for improvement. But when you work out or do heavy work, it only tires your body and not your mind. So if you have a big workout that works everything doing as best to tire your whole body, would it help with LD? because the mind would be still aware (how aware i guess would be how long your awake throughout the day, so maybe doing this like at 9 or so pm?) but the body would want to shut off. I also think it would have to be an intense workout or work of somesort, then eat something with carbohydrates just to make sure that your body recovers, wait like maybe 1/2 an hour for your heart rate to calm down, then go to bed. I'm not 100% sure about this but it makes sense. |
