ORIGINAL: jlf1961 I admit it is 0132 and I (my freaking brain) has set a new record.... 3 Fucking nightmares in 3 fucking hours. Now, will someone tell me once more why the fuck do we have to sleep? There may be a pill for that: http://psychcentral.com/news/2007/04/12/drug-may-reduce-ptsd-nightmares/746.html http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2990556/ angelika, most drugs that help or claim to reduce nightmares do so by minimizing REM sleep, which in turn affects the quality of sleep. Besides, at this point in my life, I am trying to reduce the number of pharmaceuticals due to the fact that many have side effects or impacts other systems after prolonged use, for example statins, used in the reduction of cholesterol are linked to the causation of diabetes, liver problems and kidney function (and not in the 'could cause' but in the 'will cause.') Of course, to be brutally honest, most drugs that are artificial in origin have detrimental affects on the body (not a quack science conspiracy theory) due to the body not being able to metabolize the compound completely. This does not include natural compounds that can be synthesized, but drugs made completely in the lab.
