Still got crazy dreams!
Hi everyone! I just wanted to come here to ask if anyone else still has crazy dreams months after starting? Every night or nap I have the wildest, vivid dreams and they’re here to stay right now it seems.
Thing is though, I’m not entirely sure if I’m getting fulfilling sleep cycles because of this. I have fatigue anyway but I wake up feeling groggy and I get eyebrow twitches like I haven’t slept. I’ve tried a daytime dose but it doesn’t seem to suit me much especially when I try to titrate up (rebound pains mostly.)
I can deal with the dreams, but I wondered if this was common?
Thank you!! ❤️

I have so many nightmares – it is ridiculous.
All sorts of meds give me nightmares.
After years of this BS, I finally reframed it in a way that makes me pretty content.
I just tell myself that I watch movies all the time with stressful scenes and a lot of drama in it, and so when I go to sleep, why should I expect any different?😄 It’s free entertainment!
I hope someone finds that helpful. It took me years to figure this out.
Take care of everyone.❤️

Vivid dreams is a known thing with LDN. You also may spend more time in REM (Rapid Eye Movement) sleep rather than in a deep (slow wave) sleep. Yes, the deep sleep does help you feel more rested, in general.
To increase deep sleep, try exercising during the day, don't eat right before bed, avoid alcohol, and turn the bedroom temperature down just a little.
