while asleep

i've had a running conversation with myself. i can't say what about. really, bcs i don't remember. but i wake up feeling like i've been chattering away all night. probably the effects of nyquil... does it really let you get the best sleep ever? or more for you to just not wake up? it's like the unfortunates who must take pills to sleep- the side effects are sans dreams and deep sleep right? rested but not refreshed. that's where i feel i am. resting but hovering consciousness. last night i was wrapped up in a flannel blanket, 76degrees in my room, and my legs were still cold. i took a really hot shower and i think i felt thecold drop to my chest... does that happen and will ben/gay really help? why is it that you can breathe thru one nostril and not the other? and then they switch sides... i woke up around 3 and found some lavendar stuff but couldn't smell it- felt moisturized but wondered if one day i'd recover from a cold to find i'd lost my sense of smell... i would say i smell breakfast and thus have to sign off, but really i just hear a rustling of bags.

i don't know about sleeping pills or nyquil, but allergy meds tend to offer a deep sleep AND vivid dreams. not necessarily good dreams, but vivid. i usually feel well rested. although, i can't say it always fixes the unbalanced nostril problem. has science yet addressed this phenomena? i would much rather be unable to breathe from both, rather than just one.

I do well with Valerian. It doesn't put you to sleep (sorry) but once you go to sleep, you sleep really deeply, also with vivid dreams.
