Is there a way to induce insomnia?!
Question: I don't mean to sound psycho.
But sometimes I just want to NOT sleep at all because when I have bad disgusting weird dreams, I don't wake up in time. When someone tries to wake me up(I hear them but I think it's part of a dream) I don't wake up.I have no stress in my life, I'm happy.
Suggestions? Should I talk to my doctor?
If you want to know about the dreams I'm having just email me.

There are many drugs, not just sedatives, that can cause people to sleep so deeply that they don't many dreams or they disrupt sleep so much that there are few dreams. Generally people don't take them for the purpose of stopping dreams, but that is a common side effect. The better drugs are not sedatives.
I would consider a therapist.
Def. talk to your doctor. He'll most likely suscribe heavy sleeping pills. Not sleeping is definitntly not healthy at all! You have to sleep so that your organisim can rest, or else you can get very sick.

You can do something really stimulating when you get tired. Or try No-Doz or something like that. But I would consider talking to your doctor about those dreams.
I would tak to a therapist about your dreams. Insomnia sucks, you don't want it. Good luck
I have found that dreams can prepare you for what is happening in life. For example, I had this really morbid dream the other night, and the next day my mother told me it had actually happened. (my rat ate my mouse).
I found copious abuse of alcohol over a number of years, and getting into serious debt induced mine.
Personally, I'd stop eating so close to bed time, and get a little fresh air first.
I mean what you mean "bad disgusting weird dreams" - as both Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung identified dreams as an interaction between the unconscious and the conscious. They also assert together that the unconscious is the dominant force of the dream, and in dreams it conveys its own mental activity to the perceptive faculty.
How old are you first of all?
Hi, How are you?
OK, DON'T become an insomniac. Please. Don't.
It can lead to pysical and mental health problems later on in life. Instead, just think of something nice as you are going to sleep. Then you are likely to dream about it.
BUT
If you do want to become an insomniac, then drink and eat foods with caffeine in them. This will help to keep you awake. Equally, sleep with noise on. Either the TV, the radio, or just put your iPod on quite loud in bed. Also try reading something hilariously funny or drawing or doing something that will make you want to stay awake.
Hope this works, but I sort of don't in a way, coz its probs bad for you. anyway Good luck.
Hope I Helped!

What you can do is to eat a high protein meal around midnight. This will keep you awake until around 4 - 5 am in the morning. That's the time to open up a Red Bull. This will wake you up again until around 7 AM. That's when you go outside and take a walk around the block. This will refresh and wake you up again. Then you should take a cool shower. This is also refreshing. Now it is around 8 am. Time to drink a cup of double shot espresso that will help you over the early morning. Do that for a while and you'll look like my avatar.
listen to loud music look at bright lights
First of all, you say that you are not under stress and are generally happy; that is a great positive you have in your life. :)
There are many ways to 'induce' insomnia; however, the side effects of each are much worse than having unpleasant dreams!
Strange dreams can be caused from eating rich or spicy foods too late in the evening, and/or consuming too much caffeine.
Sometimes weird dreams are caused by the medications we take.. .I know from experience how unsettling those dreams can be.
So...yes, make an appointment with your family physician. If he/she finds that you would benefit from counseling, ask for a referral.
I wish you Sweet Dreams!
Sleep disorders affect millions of people. According to a national survey, 54% of adults said they have experienced at least one symptom of insomnia. Good sleep is as important to good health as diet and exercise. Poor sleep can lead to depression, health problems - even accidents.
Basic sleep problems people experience can include
Difficulty falling asleep
Difficulty staying asleep
These can be caused by a number of circumstances, such as:
Stress at work
Traveling to another time zone
Worry over a major financial decision
When people experience trouble sleeping, it is often referred to as insomnia, which may vary in severity. The three types of insomnia are: transient insomnia, intermittent insomnia, and chronic insomnia.

You might have a sleep disorder.
You might be depressed and not be aware of it. You don't have to have significant stressors in your life to be depressed--it just happens that way in some people.
There might be a physical reason, or it might be something simple like eating too late at night before you go to bed.
The best thing would be to see a doctor.
I have chronic depression and sometimes I have dreams that I can't stand and I feel so worn out from the dream that I don't feel rested when I wake up. I haven't had that problem for at least three or four months, though.
