Has anyone found any way to encourage dreamless sleep? I only ask because I'm having vivid, ****** up dreams of epic proportions recently that are getting genuinely disturbing and I keep waking up several times a night :(

(no, not Gary-Glitter-esque stuff before people insinuate it).

Serious business... :(
 
You always dream, people who say they don't just can't remember it.

Only way would be to go under general anaesthetic I would imagine.
 
See you doctor get some pills

Seriously see your GP.

Part of what you are experiencing is your body dealing with stress / anxioty , suffered this myself last year and it lead to depression.

Different Man this year after doing something about it.

Just some advice but your GP is the best move.

Edit

Just thought it is wrong for me to asume that this is actually what you are experiencing. But what ever is causing it if it is impacting on your life see the Quack.

since ive been off work (knee op) my sleep pattern has buggerd right up i find myself feeling tired and going to bed at 11pm but i can lay in bed for 2-3 hours and think sod it and get up and not sleep for 48 hours now. And since not much is going on with my life at the moment i don't have many dreams either
 
Perhaps read a book before bed, preferably not a horror! This way the last thing you'll be thinking about before sleep is something that's not related to stress/anxiety etc.
 
Funny i had a dream the other night about being eaten by a spider, woke up quite shaken, went to the loo and absolutely crapped myself at the site of a huuuuuuuge spider in the mop bucket.

luckily i was in the right place and the spider was dead.
 
I found a couple of bottles of wine in the evening did the business.

Don't have snacks before you go to bed, pop out for a walk, fall asleep reading.
 
Get down the gym and pump some iron. Or go for a run. This should also help with any stress you are experiencing.

Certainly works for me.
 
there are several ways to stop/lessen dreaming.
1. the doctor can prescribe you an anti-depressant which helps you fall asleep easier and stay asleep for 10-12hours, you will feel dead IF (unlikely) you wake up early. you will feel crap even if you get enough sleep. but dreams happen less. personally i would NOT choose this option, anti-dp's are not nice at all. may even end up with tranquilisers, but im sure they have their problems too.
2. cannabis. i almost never ever dream after having that and 8-9hrs of lovely sleep. illegal maybe, but very good for what you want.
3. is to sort out the problems in your life, stress and worry can cause nightmares and untill your relaxed they wont go away easily.

:D Nah.

Last night, one example was some mental Irish bloke giving painkillers to kids then burning them alive on a pyre, demanding a running commentary from them. Pretty horrific :(

Ta for advice - I'm not touching drugs. I've recently started going swimming more often for the tiredness factor but maybe I should try reading before bed again.
 
Brain damage.

Seriously, I haven't remembered a dream since receiving a nasty blow in a scuffle with a shoplifter a few years ago. That or I've stopped having them completely. I haven't been able to balance on stairs properly since then either.
