  • On rare occasion I’ve taken control of nightmares in a Lucid dream state - typically waiking up momentarily and then going back to sleep.

    I’m just not sure if the psychic cost of having these types of intense dreams encoded in memory is healthier than just sleeping and not remembering.

    A bit plagued by my dreams ( thereby my subconscious ) if I can remember them.

    That was the question I guess, I hear the idea I should engage more to remember dreams, but not sure if that is healthy for people to do who have vivid and disturbing dreams regularly (eg. Under attack, people I love getting hurt ect…)




  • As someone who worked night shifts for a little - it’s really not healthy.

    There are studies showing that type of disruption to your circadian rhythm can take like more than a decade off your life. After doing it for a while I felt it impacting my well being, not being really awake, hitting the bed and falling asleep immediately but not deeply, super high base load of stress and heart pain.

    FWIW , I’m talking working 11-4/6am type night shifts, not the late night retail/bar shifts which are tough in their own right
