Lets try a little experiment shall we?
I want interested forum members to get these things.
A good nights sleep for 6 months, sleep till you are rested.
Go to the supplement store to get melatonin or 5htp pills. take one 3mg pill every day during your last meal before bed.
and add sage to your meals everyday, sage is proven to increase memory recall in volunteers.
describe all your dreams on a recorder when you wake up, describe it in the first person ie I am instead of I was when describing the dream.
now here is a trick, when something important happens in your life I want you to remember every detail of it in chronological order, record it and describe it
on that same recorder, now at the end of those 6 months listen to the recording.
post your results, lets see if it is true or not.
it'll be worth the extra rest anyway, studies have proven people think better, perform better, have better recall after a good nights sleep.
Also, by eating beans hours prior to studying for a test. During the study, you'll be smelling your own farts. Come test time, eat a giant bowl of the same beans prior to attending class to take the test. During the test, you'll be farting. Smelling your farts will improve your test score due to the association factor, or whatever the scientific term is. You'll even perform better if the test is graded on the curve, for the other test goers will also be smelling your farts, thus wanting them to finish the test as quickly as possible, causing them to have a lower test score.
