Dreaming about studying

I hate the fact that I go to sleep and start dreaming about whatever I just studied. For the love of God, please tell me how to stop dreaming about studying.

I never could stop, it lasted up until after step 1! Crappy thing is sometimes dream studying yields false information that gets mixed in with the rest!

Maybe for ten minutes before bed study a picture of your significant other or something more pleasurable than the likes of peyronie's disease or fournier's gangrene?

Watch a downloaded TV episode of something non-medical, such as How I Met Your Mother, or Doctor Who, or Community right before bed.

Doctor Who is about a Doctor

Yeah idk that was a college problem for me.. now im so damn tired from studying i just fall asleep bc im just happy to not be studying. I do watch downloaded TV shows a lot though.. living vicariously through TV has gotten me very far in my education 👍

The TV thing doesn't help even if its the last thing I do before I go to sleep. 🙁 Hell, I can spend a whole day not thinking about medicine/studying and I will still dream about stuff. I think it might be the guilt of taking a day off that's on the back of my mind the whole day.

Get a boyfriend/girlfriend, start a long distance relationship, and get nightmares about that instead.

Suckage. Hopefully you get some good review in (I kid). My advice- take a little time to unwind after you get done studying. Video games, non-school related books, 'Friends' re-runs, sexy time, anything that will take your mind off of school. Worked for me.

Its not a bad thing - its just your brain assimilating the information you've absorbed that day (or week).

Some of the greatest discoveries have been made through insights gained in dreams. Consider Kekule's discovery of the chemical structure of benzene when he dreamt of the snake eating its own tail!
