Do you ever wake yourself up sleeptalking?
Okay, so the question sounds a bit confusing, so let me explain it.
Last night I had an incredibly vivid lucid dream, about sleepwalking and talking. God knows why, but when I was dreaming of sleepwalking, I could feel things in complete detail and it felt real but I knew I was asleep, then about an hour later I was still dreaming, I knew I was asleep but like I felt almost awake. Then very suddenly, I felt my door open - which isn't possible as I lock it from the inside, and loud music began to play.
Suddenly, I screamed "F**K OFF"
At this point I woke up with a snort, confused.
I don't know if I actually was sleepwalking and talking and I don't have a roommate or anything so there's no way of someone telling me. Has anyone else experienced this, and how can I find out for sure if I suffer from parasomnias.

Can I overdose if I take 2 sleeping aid pills that are 25 mg?
If you are of normal size and weight, and in good health, then no, you can't overdose by taking 2 over the counter sleeping aid pills. Of course, this depends on many things like your size, your current health, and what kind of medication the sleeping aid contains (25 mg of what?). You want to make sure the medicine doesn't interact with anything else you are currently taking. If you are concerned, just call the nurse at your doctor's office and ask.
Can sleep paralysis lead to astral projection?
Answer 1: According to Slyvia Brown sleep paralysis is caused from astral projection. She basically says that you wake up before your spirit has re-entered your body, and that is why you have an overwhelming sense of fear,as if someone is in the room with you.(which is you)
Answer 2: It depends upon whether the mind is physically conscious or not. If you experience sleep paralysis in a physically conscious state, then you likely will not experience astral projection, at least not until the physical mind and body are dead asleep- for lack of a better phrase. Some scientists believe that this phenomenon is manifested through the release of a chemical known as DMT which is manufactured by the Pineal Gland. Various minerals, foods, exercise and yoga are able to increase one's chance at experiencing astral projection. For example, Zinc is one of the many minerals that is able to cause astral projection and lucid dreaming.

Which benzodiazepine not inhibited rem sleep?
Valium, Halcion, to name a few. In fact, however, I don't know if there is one that inhibits REM. Having said that, certain drugs have different effects depending on the user. But if you haven't already, I would definitely experiment with your doctor's approval ones that work for you.
There may also be an undiscovered, underlying cause for your absent or lack of REM which would be better diagnosed and treated by a psychiatrist or neuroligist. Hope this helps.

How can you keep from eating too much at night if you just can't sleep unless your stomach is full?
- If you feel like you want to eat at night , just try getting a glass of water or juice instead. Often people put on weight because they are bored and need something to do with their hands - so they eat.
- If drinking instead doesn't work. Try snacking on healthy things such as fruit.
- I drink a cup of hot tea before bed.
- Try eating a very light healthy snack, such as an apple or a handful of grapes, etc. And a big glass of milk. If you don't like milk, try a chocolate milk or some other drink with some substance Then slowly make how much you eat smaller until you only drink a glass of milk or something. And if you want, you can slowly stop drinking that too. It is probably mostly habit that makes you hungry at night. You can also try eating dinner a little later. But try to make it at least two or three hours before you go to sleep.
- I've been watching my calories on a website. You list everything you eat and it counts the calories, vitamins, fat grams, carbs and everything for you. Since I've started doing this I've noticed that I pay way more attention to what I eat throughout the day and it's really helpful. To answer your question. Drink lots and lots of water all day long (with a straw and some lemon if you find it hard to drink water) and I guarantee that you'll get full way faster and after a few days you'll feel fuller all the time. Trust me on this one. I used to eat a horse before bed every night and now I'm down to some water and not much else.
- Break your addiction ! Read a really good book or a boring one and you will find that in doing other activities you can go to sleep. Remember that you are addicted to doing something a certain way. Ignore your stomach. Tell yourself over and that you can do it. After a while it will be come a great habit. Nothing puts on weight more and makes sleep less relaxed and enjoyable than going to be with food recently consumed. Going to bed a little hungry is amazing. Tell yourself over and over that you are fine and morning will come with a smile because you will be ready to eat a nutritious delicious meal.
- A banana is really good, it is good for sleeping. There is mysterious link between sleeplessness and heart disease. People who don't get much sleep are more likely than those who do to develop calcium deposits in their coronary arteries, possibly raising their risk for heart disease, a new study has found.
- Eat a balanced breakfast and automatically your hunger will subside throughout the day. Research says that people who eat balanced breakfast never feel the craving and don't do binge eating at all.
- So eat a balanced breakfast and avoid cravings at night.
- Doing exercises will help you to get more sleep. It will also keep you health and away from many health diseases and heart related problems.
Try a supplement called Appesat. You take it with your dinner and it expands in your stomach to help keep you fuller for longer. This may help you sleep easier at night as you wont feel hungry.

What are the 4 stages of quiet sleep?
1. Stage One: lightest level of sleep; pulse slows, muscles relax, breathing uneven and brain waves irregular; awakened you'd report you were just drifting; lasts up to 10 minutes.

Stage Four: deepest sleep, difficult to wake up from; regular delta waves occur more than 50% of time; talking out loud, sleepwalking, bedwetting can occur in this stage.
REM sleep: a stage of sleep (past the fourth stage) characterized by rapid eye movement, a high level of brain activity, a deep relaxation of the muscles, and dreaming; face and fingers twitch; adrenal and sexual hormones rise in blood; large muscles are paralyzed; brain waves resemble a fully awake person; lasts 15 minutes (early at night) to 45 minutes (late at night); after this REM stage, a person regresses back into stage four; cycle repeats every 90 minutes or so.
