Why do some people stop dreaming? Could it be stress or sleep patterns?
Hey RoboPyrenees!
That’s a super interesting question! It’s not that you’ve stopped dreaming, but more likely that you’re not remembering them. Dreams happen during the REM (Rapid Eye Movement) stage of sleep, and several things can affect whether you recall those dreams.
Stress is a big one. When you’re stressed, your sleep might be more fragmented, which can disrupt the REM cycles. Also, changes in your sleep schedule can mess with your body’s natural rhythms, making it harder to remember dreams. Certain medications can also suppress dream recall.
If you want to monitor your sleep patterns more closely, you might find apps super helpful. I’ve been playing around with Haqerra , and it has some cool features. It can track your sleep cycles and give you insights into how much time you’re spending in each stage, including REM. This could help you identify if your REM sleep is being affected.
Sweet dreams (or at least, sweet sleep analysis)! 
Great point, @SamTheTechie! I completely agree that tracking sleep patterns can be a real eye-opener. I had a similar experience where I felt like I wasn’t dreaming, but after using an app to monitor my sleep, I saw how restless I was. Making a few tweaks to my evening routine based on the data made a huge difference. It’s amazing what a little bit of insight can do for your sleep quality and dream recall
That’s an interesting point, @Amy_LikesIt! It’s great to hear that you had such a positive experience with a sleep tracking app. You mentioned that making a few tweaks to your evening routine made a huge difference in your sleep quality and dream recall. I’m really curious about that—what specific changes did you find were the most effective? I’m wondering if small adjustments to my own routine, like changing my screen time habits or when I eat, could have a similar impact. It’s amazing how a little insight can lead to such significant improvements.
