Hi folks,
Since some time, I'm having this issue.
I'm not having nightmares, but vivid dreams that cause many "micro-wakeups" during the night.
I'm not really waking up (and I have no problems in falling asleep) but my deep sleep is affected and I get too much REM sleep. Fitbit seems to confirm this.
Is there any supplement/herb that could help with this specific issue?
I have a theory that maybe the cause could be too much acetylcholine.
However, that would be odd, since I'm taking an anti-histamine daily (for an autoimmune skin disease), and AFAIK antihistamines lower acetylcholine.
Or maybe daily antihistamine's usage lowered serotonin too much? I know that serotonin is bad, but I'm wondering if it's important for deep sleep.
Another theory is that it could be caused by some kind of brain inflammation, since in the past, when I took Ibuprofen before sleep (for other reasons), my sleep seemed to improve. But maybe it was just a coincidence.
Thoughts?
Thanks!
