slept untill 3pm because i obsessed with dreaming.

Maybe I should sleep on my side. I notice that normally I fall asleep either on my stomach or on my back. Perhaps sleeping on my side will get me into a longer REM cycle and have a dream....

No matter how late/early I go to bed, I'll always wake up at 60, 7:00 every morning. My body is stuck on the HighSchool schedule from years ago.

I have very very metaphorical dreams, though.
If I sleep on my right side, I have nightmares
If I sleep on my left side, I have awesome dreams (but it takes me the longest to fall asleep on that side)
If I sleep on my back, I don't dream

i dont know what position i fall asleep in.

is there a way to monitor your rem cycle?

Not at home. They can measure it in labs and such.

This is right, been there done that, way expensive.

Unfortunately, yeah. But comparatively less expensive and provides more useful information than studying beta waves. At least for the typical person.

I'd be curious as to how my REM sleep is going. My sleeping patterns are ridiculous.

I was covers insurance. Good thing too because it didn't help all they wanted to do was pump me with sedatives to try and "fix me"


Best way to see how well you go into REM sleep without a lab is to get blackout curtains stay up as long as you can (24 hours is how long I went) and then record a video while you sleep. "Twitching" is apparently a sign that your not getting full REM cycles because your brain wakes itself up for some reason (also why sometimes you wake up for no reason and fall back asleep without remembering it)
