How to have a dreamless sleep?

Question

i think in the second book of HP the chamber of secrets, they had a potion for that LOL

but seriously is there anything that can be done

Answer 1

Google it?

Answer 2

Every single person dreams whenever they take even the shortest nap.

If someone wakes up and and says they did not have a dream that night, they simply don't remember it.

The answer to your question is no. It's impossible not to dream, dreams are a continuation of our thoughts. Unless your on some drug where your brain stops thinking you will always have dreams.

A matter of waking up and not remembering your dream is a different question.

=D

Answer 4

There is no such thing as dreamless sleep.If you are sleeping and

not dreaming you are not getting REM sleep which is the most important part of sleeping. Without REM sleep you lost your short term memory. Even if you can't remember them you do dream when you sleep. If you are having bad dreams or upsetting dreams try to

avoid eating within three hours of sleep, avoid alcohol, drugs and

anything that is stimulating like tv,movies, exercises(except s*x) computers, reading unless very dull. These all tend to stimulate your

imagination. By the way the more dreams you have the more it means that you are lacking in REM sleep. If you get a 'good' night's sleep

complete with REM sleep you don't appear to dream as much or

else don't remember your dreams at all.

I don't know why a person would want dreamless sleep, but there are stuff out there to help that I think.  Do a google search for fruit or medicine and "dreamless sleep."

A dreamful sleep is a sign of a good sleep.  It means that you are reaching REM sleep and you have to go through the other stages in NREM sleep to get there.

Dreamless, or as some would like me to type 'dreamless' sleep is certainly the holy grail of sleep.  I'm a hardcore insomniac and I came across your question while seeking the answer to it myself.  Whether its truly dreamless (ie: the deepest portion of the sleep cycle) or that you simply have lower recall, doesn't really matter.

It IS true that dreamless sleep is said to be the best kind and I've had the first-hand privilege only ONCE in my life. I fell asleep in the basement of my grandmother's house and what seemed like two minutes later I got up.  I felt really awake and refreshed so I decided to go upstairs, to my extreme surprise it was daytime, and a full 9 hours or so had passed.  I was amazed. It was the greatest sleep I had ever had in my life, it was like it never happened at all.  

That must be what it is like to be dead, minus the waking up.  That kinda sucks, hahaha.  But as far as sleeping goes, no consciousness is the absolute best - or so it seemed.

Anyways, to try and help answer your, and my question, I'll tell you the circumstances that I find produce the best sleep, which I think were also present on that one magical night:

1.) Get a good dose of sunlight during the day, don't know why but it makes you sleepy.  

2.) Spend the energy you consume in food, in a way that is natural for you - not forced like going to the gym.  You gotta be brave, and sort of act like a kid again for at least a few hours a day.  Be your real self.  Dance or roll around on the floor, do something silly, whatever, as long as its natural for you and spends your energy, don't do it a few hours before bed or you'll wind yourself up.  

3) Sleep in abject darkness.  Darkness is an auto-signal to your brain that it is night and time to sleep. Its a non-nocturnal mammal thing, you are playing off your natural instincts.  Same with lighting, try not to have bright artificial lights on an hour or two before bed, instead keep a low light.  

4) Only sleep when you feel tired. This is the trickiest one.  You have to listen to your body and get used to its signals, so you can 'catch the wave'.  Eventually you'll zone in and THE time your body wants to fall asleep, and if you do, you just lay down and let go and it will happen faster than usual.  

5) This is for dreamless sleep specifically:  live an emotionally balanced life, and don't work yourself up within a few hours of bed.  Don't think after a certain time, say two hours before bed you just turn it off. You don't think, you don't worry, you pretend you don't know anything and don't even realize a future or past exists.  Become retarded.  This is SO helpful and also difficult to do at first. Same goes for your body, don't work out or spend your energy or anything an hour or two before bed, just go into lazy mode.  

As for emotional balance, take a neutral, or calm stance on whatever has been bothering you deep down, and throughout the day stuff too, and this is best done in the early evening or afternoon, if you can. You want to do it a good distance before you 'go retarded' and stop thinking because if you try to do it right before that, you may end up unable to slow down and stop your brain.

Even if you stop the conscious part of your brain its already too late, your subconscious will be working things out.  This is he bulk of dreams. The whole trick is to try and get your subconscious to work things out, and settle on something, before you go to sleep.  If your subconscious is settled, and at peace, it doesn't have anything to work with when you go to sleep. It'll just work out things that are so mundane and emotionally unattached that you will either not remember them or it won't even bother to show them to you in the form of dreams.  This is exactly the state you (and I) are after.  

Anyways, that's my theory, and also some of the practices that I think will help.  You can try them out for yourself and if you like some of them, or some of them work, great, if nothing works but you stumble on something by yourself that does, feel free to let me know!
