Casein Protein and Dreams

[IrishKyle]

So I started taking a Casein supplement (Gold Standard/Optimum) just before bed this week and it has turned my dreams into a total mess...Just wanted to check in and see if anyone has some advice or if I'm just being a panzy here.

I only get 6-7 hours of sleep/night, so my sleep is pretty damn important to me, and I don't really feel like I'm getting any rest during these intense episodes. At first I took the full scoop of powder (24 g) just before bed and that night was totally crazy. So then the next night I only took about a 1/3rd of a scoop (maybe 7-10 g), and it went better, but it still made me see some crazy ****e.

If I go to bed at 10PM, should I take it around 8 or 8:30 instead of right before I hit the sack?

Maybe my body will just get used to it? Any help is appreciated...Thanx!

ON casein shouldn't effect your dreams as far as I know and have experienced.

That'd do it. ZMA gives me not just crazy dreams but disturbing ones. Honestly its like being trapped in a David Lynch film like Lost Highway, Blue Velvet or Eraserhead.

no problems for me it actually helps put me to sleep being full and all hehe try it with milk

I take Casein protein before bed too and I have had some crazy dreams. That and certain testosterone boosters give you weird dreams

I've never experienced crazy dreams with casein

ZMA = crazy dreams

Casein = 3 AM bathroom

Wow, this thread just answered why I wake up every morning at 4 with a piss boner and why I've had INSANE (crazy, yet awesomely entertaining) dreams the past few weeks every single night. It's so much better dreaming that you're running around your neighborhood on the roof of a dump truck than just having nothing. It's kind of like going to sleep and then tripping on acid. Reps to OP.

Try drinking decaffeinated green tea before bed, I have read it relaxes the brain allowing you to have better dreams since it reduces stress. I drink both green and camomile(not really tea) tea before bed and it help me sleep like a baby every night even though I take ZMA's. note: the camomile has a tendency to make many people feel like they have to pee when they don't
