Can one still LD after taking sleeping pills or taking something like “Simply Sleep”. Sometimes I have a hard time getting to sleep, so I have to take a sleeping aid. But I still want to LD. Duz ne one think it could affect that?
If you can still remember your dreams when taking the pills then you should be able to LD
If you dont already, make sure you record your dreams in a dream journal when you wake up, I guess you could also record which nights you took the pills in your journal to see if they affect your dream recall
I’ve acctually been keeping a DJ for months now. Even b4 my interest in LD. But you just brought up a good idea for me to, about recording when I have taken the sleeping pils. Great idea! Thanks so much… 
Good luck with the LD’s, there is plenty of info on these forums and on the internet about LD’s. Just take it easy and dont stress if they dont happen at first because often they will happen when you least expect it to.
