Flying dreams happen during REM sleep when the brain processes emotion and memory.

They often reflect feelings of control, freedom, or stress relief rather than hidden messages.

Dreams mirror the mind, not fate.

Wearing socks doesn’t trap heat, it helps release it.

By warming your feet, your body lowers core temperature faster, which can help you fall asleep sooner.

Comfort matters more than rules.

Even with an eidetic memory, dream recall isn’t guaranteed.
Dreams often aren’t stored in long-term memory because the brain areas responsible for encoding are less active during REM sleep.
Waking during REM not memory ability predicts dream recall.

How is lack of sleep linked to Alzheimer’s disease? During deep sleep, the brain clears beta-amyloid through the glymphatic system.
Poor sleep may reduce this clearance and is linked to increased Alzheimer’s risk.

When you dream, your emotional brain takes over.
🧠 The limbic system (especially the amygdala) becomes highly active during REM sleep, while the logical prefrontal cortex quiets down.
That’s why dreams feel vivid, emotional, and irrational.

Why lavender helps sleep
• Inhaled lavender improved deep-sleep markers and subjective sleep quality in trials. 
• Mechanisms: may reduce brain-wave alpha activity and promote delta (restorative) waves.

Poor sleep and high blood pressure go hand in hand
• Short sleep less than 7hrs is associated with increased hypertension risk.
• Irregular sleep schedules raise odds of high BP by up to ~90%.
• Fragmented sleep or untreated sleep apnea also contribute.

Low testosterone & poor sleep: what’s the link? One study: one week of 5-h sleep → 10-15 % drop in testosterone in healthy young men.
Poor sleep quality is associated with lower testosterone levels and disrupted hormone rhythms.

When you eat high-carb snacks at night, here’s what happens:
• Blood sugar spikes
• Insulin pulls sugar back down
• The quick drop triggers cortisol and adrenaline
Those stress hormones can jolt you awake hours later.

Research shows side-sleeping is already better than back for airway health.  And early work suggests the right side may have extra benefits when heart-health is a concern.

Yawning may be your body’s way of cooling the brain and preparing for sleep. It often shows up when you’re bodily shifting toward sleep or waking up. And if you’re yawning a lot, consider your overall sleep quality high frequency of yawning can be a sign of sleep related issues.

You’re awake in bed, it starts believing bed = wake-time. By temporarily relocating dim light, calm activity (reading a paper book, light stretching) you preserve the bed = sleep link.
🧘‍♀️ Keep the lights low, avoid screens and bright stimuli. Once you feel sleepy, go back.

Why many people consider magnesium glycinate for better sleep:
🔹 Helps relax the nervous system
🔹 Supports muscle relaxation and GABA activity
🔹 Might speed up how fast you fall asleep and improve sleep quality
But: research is promising, not conclusive

During deep sleep, collagen production rises and cell repair accelerates.
Sleep deprivation increases cortisol, which weakens the skin barrier and elasticity.

Research shows that Halloween-style habits (late nights, horror content, sweet treats) can disrupt your sleep cycle: increased nightmare frequency, more awakenings, and poorer sleep quality. 
To protect your rest:
• Stick to your usual bedtime + wake time
• Dim screens and lights

Too little sleep increases ghrelin (hunger) and decreases leptin (fullness).
Over time, poor sleep affects insulin and weight regulation even if diet stays the same.

Not dreaming doesn’t mean you’re not dreaming it means you’re not remembering. Most people have 3–6 dreams a night, but recall fades fast unless you wake during REM sleep.

Dreams are fleeting we forget half within 5 minutes and 90% within 10 minutes of waking. 🕒 The brain’s memory systems aren’t fully active during sleep, which is why dreams slip away so fast.
