I don’t know if this is unique to me or if other Migraine survivors experience it as well. Today I was listening to one of the political talk shows and the host started talking about his dreams he has while sleeping. This got me to thinking again about how infrequently I dream while sleeping.
I can literally count the number of dreams I’ve had in the last 6 months on two hands. I have noticed this over the years, but never really bring it up because it doesn’t seem very important. When I wake up, after my alarm goes off for an hour or more, I’m usually very tired and feel like a bus hit me. Is this due to not enough sleep? If I sleep too long I am almost guaranteed to have a headache or a Migraine., but thankfully not always. Is it due to not getting REM sleep, or enough REM sleep?
I also find this weird because everyone in my family seems to always have dreams, most of them are very vivid and they remember them the next day. I realize everyone is different, but am I really that different?
I would be curious to hear from others like me to know if you have noticed a lack of dreaming while sleeping. Post your comments.
