I don’t really dream. It’s extremely rare to the point where I’ll have a handful in a year and I don’t remember them. Waking up with an emotional reaction to an odd dream inspired by life events or entertainment… Then the details slip away from me and I can’t even talk to anyone about the experience.

What’s it like for you?
Do you enjoy, dislike or analyze your dreams?
Is it really a window to the subconscious for you?

    Does that include no coffee/caffeine in afternoon?

    What temperature is your room?

    Do you have a watch or device that passively monitors Heart-rate variability?

    On average what do you eat before bed and how long before sleep?

      Caffeine addicted. It is a problem.

      Room is low 70s (23C?).

      No device.

      Big dinner at 8, bed at 11 or 12. Sleep quickly if no phone.

        I am definitely caffeine addicted, too. Best I can manage usually is to taper off the caffeine coffee by noon and transition to green tea, then ginger tea later. Seems to help!

        Temp seems good; that’s about what mine is.

        If possible, consider a big lunch and reduce size of dinner and/or dial it back by an hour. Be extra cautious of deep-fried, high sodium, or high acidic foods (tomato-based sauces like spaghetti or pizza, mayo, etc.).
