scorch Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 Kinda depressing working out I handed over well over two years wages for myself this morning. My ex worked in a casino cash desk. She sent me a selfie once where she was laid on the count room floor surrounded by over half a million quid. Link to post Share on other sites
Gunmane Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 Despite not being able to make up my mind on how to use a gift card (games naturally, nothing was at the right price to either use up the card or pair up with something else), I had one smile moment today when I realized Archer has a 6th season. Immediately sat down to watch the first 3 episodes. Somehow The Americans is getting a third season in a few days, not sure what they are going to use for plot, but eh, I'm sure it will be ridiculous and cringe-worthy.

hitmanNo2 Posted January 27, 2015 Report Share Posted January 27, 2015 I only occasionally dream, or at least I thought. But recently I have had loads of memories of conversations that couldn't possibly have actually taken place. It's really trippy. Link to post Share on other sites
Cannonfodder80 Posted January 27, 2015 Report Share Posted January 27, 2015 Just wait till you have a lucid dream. That can really weird you out afterwards Edit: asda selling bottles of Hobgoblin for £1:17 has made me very happy Link to post Share on other sites

Skarclaw Posted January 27, 2015 Report Share Posted January 27, 2015 I haven't had a dream I can remember in about a year Sucks. That'd be that there cannabis. I tend to be in such a deep sleep that I don't remember my dreams - unless on the weekends where I have a lie in (as in, out of bed at 13.30) where I tend to be waking up & falling back asleep several times. ZMA gives you crazy dreams though I haven't had any in a while. Link to post Share on other sites
Hardcore1-6 Posted January 27, 2015 Report Share Posted January 27, 2015 Isn't ZMA just Zinc, Magnesium and something else? One of the Vitamins?Typed that, realised you'd posted a link. 66% right. Vit B. How does it give you trippy dreams? I want that in my life. Link to post Share on other sites
Skarclaw Posted January 27, 2015 Report Share Posted January 27, 2015 Not sure really. They are super intense (for a dream anyway) - if you've ever had a dream which has altered the mood you wake up in - expect more of those. From a quick google; The effect of pyridoxine (Vitamin B-6) on dreaming was investigated in a placebo, double-blind study to examine various claims that Vitamin B-6 increases dream vividness or the ability to recall dreams. 12 college students participated in all three treatment conditions, each of which involved ingesting either 100 mg B-6, 250 mg B-6, or a placebo prior to bedtime for a period of five consecutive days. The treatment conditions were completely counterbalanced and a two-day wash-out period occurred between the three five-day treatment blocks. Morning self-reports indicated a significant difference in dream-salience scores (this is a composite score containing measures on vividness, bizarreness, emotionality, and color) between the 250-mg condition and placebo over the first three days of each treatment. The data for dream salience suggests that Vitamin B-6 may act by increasing cortical arousal during periods of rapid eve movement (REM) sleep. An hypothesis is presented involving the role of B-6 in the conversion of tryptophan to serotonin. However, this first study needs to be replicated using the same procedures and also demonstrated in a sleep laboratory before the results can be considered certain. Link to post Share on other sites
hitmanNo2 Posted January 27, 2015 Report Share Posted January 27, 2015 I bought some ZMA to see if it would help me sleep. I read all about the bizarre dreams you're supposed to get. Didn't affect me in the slightest. I was quite looking forward to it too Link to post Share on other sites
Skarclaw Posted January 27, 2015 Report Share Posted January 27, 2015 probably need to up the dosage. tbh most (legal) sleep aids are *badger*s in my experience. Most successful is exercise and no screens/lights on in room. Both of which are free Link to post Share on other sites
Hardcore1-6 Posted January 27, 2015 Report Share Posted January 27, 2015 I like the way they've got 'bedtime' into a study like it's science.In other news, the building has mice and they've eaten the god damned biscuits. DEFCON mother funkin' 4. Got a soldier stagging on with a nerf gun, another sent as a runner to order mouse traps. Maybe rat traps.We're taking no chances. Link to post Share on other sites
DrAlexanderTobacco Posted January 27, 2015 Report Share Posted January 27, 2015 If you want trippy dreams, melatonin is what you want. When light levels start dropping, your body starts producing it - getting ready for sleep. It helps you stay asleep, crucially - so taking some is good if you're a light sleeper and need a better night's rest. Take a lot, and the dreams get incredibly interesting Really really vivid.

hitmanNo2 Posted January 27, 2015 Report Share Posted January 27, 2015 I was taking the maximum recommended dose of ZMA. Didn't seem to have any impact whether I was knackered from exercise or not. I might give 5-HTP a go. Link to post Share on other sites

Managed to clear a load of space at work today, found some decent, proper maintenance fluid (for rusty screws/bolts), among with some HEAVY DUTY GRIME BUSTER windscreen cleaner. Handy.

hawaiianjuggernaut Posted January 27, 2015 Report Share Posted January 27, 2015 Nope. Never got them back. Thankfully homeowners insurance covered a good chunk of what I had in them. Still a bummer that the crooks were never caught Link to post Share on other sites
FireKnife Posted January 27, 2015 Report Share Posted January 27, 2015 Talking of lucid dreams I have far, far too many.

Habakure Posted January 28, 2015 Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 Well, it's amazing if you have a PC or equalivant. Us poor console geeks have to suffer in silence and hope it gets a digtal release for PS3/PS4 or XBOX360/ONE. Tiny tears. Should put this in the ouch thread really. . . . .
