Would ZMA truly help you get the best out of sleep?

[techninja]

Also FWIW, another misunderstanding about sleep is people believe that when they have wicked dreams, that's them sleeping deeply. Not necessarily, the most active state of dreaming is as melatonin production is waning (if any of you have ever noticed if you awaken, then go back to sleep in the morning, you'll have vivid dreams even for even the short amount of time you fall back asleep. So be careful with vivid dreaming, when it comes to interpreting if that's when you're getting "deep" sleep. It might actually be your body trying to awaken.

Just food for thought.

Yeah this keeps coming up and I always wondered why no one brought up your points. From what I can remember about sleep research (very rudimentary understanding on my behalf) remembering dreams is attributed to coming out of REM sleep, so the idea that this happening is a good thing seems to contrast the theory that ZMA is promoting a deeper sleep cycle. Like you say, it's more a person floating between sleep and conciousness.
