The supplement ZMA gives me good recall of my dreams pretty frequently.
- dinkleberg 4y agoI was gonna comment about this. ZMA really seems to have an impact on how vivid my dreams are. When I forget to order another bottle my dreams are far less interesting. It's quite odd. It makes me think about how heavily our experience of life is impacted by our chemistry.
- jasonladuke0311 4y agoYeah I like it even though the science says it’s bunk. I feel more well-rested. I tried the constituent minerals separately but the effect wasn’t the same. Either a placebo or the dosage/formulation in ZMA has a unique effect.
- rl3 4y ago>ZMA really seems to have an impact on how vivid my dreams are. I notice this with zinc/magnesium/calcium. Having taken it every night since adolescence, it's pretty much a requirement for good sleep. Without, REM city. Granted, less calcium and more magnesium these days. >It's quite odd. It makes me think about how heavily our experience of life is impacted by our chemistry. Agreed. There's probably a good argument to be had that developing a supplement dependence for sleep has likely affected the course of my life, for better or worse. Probably worse, but who knows. As an aside, be careful with B6 supplementation; it can accumulate, causing adverse CNS effects.
- dinkleberg 4y agoThanks for the heads up on the B6, I’ll have to do some research on that. The ZMA pills are convenient, but it wouldn’t be much more effort to just take some zinc and magnesium separately.
