Sorry. A, not E. Still on. Still online. 25mgs at 8pm tonight. "A" for "Asshole", right?

2 capsules with 25 mg Diphenhydramine and 500 mg Acetaminophen each, at 7:30. Followed by 5 5mg pills of Melatonin, at 8:10.
Found an interesting article to read: Melatonin in sleep disorders.

12/14-12/15: Slept from approximately 10pm sunday to 10pm monday - yowza! Of course it may have been the diphenhydramine more than anything. I think I'll skip it tonight.
Edit: Also I awoke from a dream of a horse jumping up and down on the deck of my house. Weird.

Long, long ago I obtained quite a large amount of melatonin. Now I made a choice which in retrospect could have been hazardous. I just licked my finger, stuck it into the powder and consumed what I estimate to be several hundreds of milligrams.

I am generally a little dubious when it comes to compounds that lie on the intersection between food supplement and medication. But in this case I was extremely sleep deprived and it did send me to sleep. Only for a couple of hours but I wasn't in the binary position of thinking melatonin to be a scam or to be of utility in certain situations.

Sadly I did only try it once and as I mentioned I was sleep deprived but it seemed to trigger sleep rather than act as a hypnotic.

Sometimes I fall deeply in love with dreaming and/or sleeping. Even the nightmares are sometimes alluring. Brings a whole different meaning to the expression "want to fall asleep and not wake up". But inevitably I (as far as I know) wake up. And I don't think I've ever once been bored in my dreams. I've terrible or agonizing nightmares I want out of, but I'd prefer to have new dreams or just the void of sleep. I wonder how diphenhydramine vs melatonin vs alcohol can effect the length, quality, and REM time compared to with each other. So far the melatonin has provided longer, sometimes dreamy sleep. Not more vivid dreams than usual.

I get violent in my sleep and sometimes it scares me. I usually lay on the couch on my side or supine. But the past few days I've woken up punching or kicking out. I almost karate kicked my cat off the couch, and now I'm terrified of what I might do in my sleep. On the plus side I don't do sleep activities and I don't have a sleeping sex partners so I don't have to worry about sleep sex (rape or not). But I'm extremely grateful that no matter how loud I get in my sleep others don't try to touch me awake. I'm chicken limbs so I wouldn't do much damage but still.

I was only thinking about length of sleep when I first started this. But I'm going to have to start measuring "sleep quality" and "dreaming".

Why are you over doing melatonin again? Sure you may feel a bit calmer before going to sleep..if you are in search of some sort of Lucid dreaming experiment...
I recommend 5-htp. And if you find yourself in a lucid dream and not sure, there are ways you can double check that reality too.
