Got Another Question for You, Manowar

Posted by IsoM on February 2, 2002, at 2:18:03

Tim, I remember what else I wanted to ask you. Reading over another post today triggered my memory.

You've been on modafinil/adrafinil longer (at least continuous) than I have been. In one of your posts, you mentioned that too much sleep made your depression worse - did you tend to dream more when you slept more? The studies I've read before linked excessive dreaming with increased depression. I know it certainly lessens deep sleep.

Here's my question: Has modafinil decreased the amount you dream at all? Or do you remember dreams much?

I don't know if you've ever shown symptoms of narcolepsy or how your dreams even are, but frequent dreaming seems to be part of my make-up. As soon as I'm dropping off, my dreaming starts. At this point, sounds & interuptions can easily awaken me again & I ALWAYS remember the dreaming starting & what it's about.

Maybe someone who can't remember their dreams would love to have more dreams, but I seem to spend so much time in REM sleep. I can be easily awoken anytime of night, it seems. Hence, my curiousity on whether modafinil increases the deep sleep cycle & lessen REM sleep. Maybe you haven't been on it long enough to tell either.
