Issue with excessive dreaming
Original post in this thread

Hi guys,
my issue, that presented in the last year, is kinda odd, i.e. "too much dreaming". I understand that the REM stage is an essential component of sleep, but I think I have it in excess, and it is a hindrance to reaching the Deep Sleep stage.
I wake up quite often in the night, always from a dream, and seem to continue dreaming as soon as I fall back asleep again. They are not nightmares, I'd say vivid dreams.
It's like my mind is never shutting off when I sleep. I can usually fall asleep without problems (even if I'm a night owl, so I'm going to bed past midnight) and can generally fall asleep again within minutes of waking in the night.
Is there anything that could help me in reducing REM sleep in order to improve deep sleep?
Thank you!

thanks man!
yeah, maybe lemon balm could do the trick. Is it interesting that you had the same issue: so now that you solved the problem your pre-sleep stack is simply lemon balm + Sleep Support? Are taking something else during the day that could help with deep sleep?
anyways it sounds interesting - are you still shipping to Italy?

I don't take both. Right now I am just taking Sleep Support, since it contains the lemon balm. Before I was taking lemon balm and magnolia bark separately before bed.
We are still shipping to Italy. There are some delays because of everything going on, but shipments are still moving.
