Lack of vitamin B6 is the main reason why you quickly forget your dream?

Australian scientists have found that the cause of our rapidly forgetting dreams after waking is closely related to vitamin B6 deficiency.

On average, a person spends 6 years of his life only dreaming while sleeping. However, most of us quickly forget dreams after waking up.

It is truly a pity because sometimes we have very beautiful dreams, even a dream to suggest something in the past or in the future. But then all like a cup of water swept away, all dreams disappear from the memory just seconds after you wake up.

It seems to be a natural mechanism of the body and cannot interfere. However, scientists at the University of Adelaide, Australia have discovered the link between vitamin B6 and the ability of the brain to remember a longer dream.

Vitamin B6 , also known as pyridoxine , is an important vitamin of B group vitamins that can improve brain function, prevent dementia, cognitive decline, boost immune system, prevent anemia, .

According to Technology, Australian scientists invited about 100 volunteers from across Australia to participate in the study. They all insisted on forgetting their dreams immediately after waking up.

Some study participants had to take high dose vitamin B6 (240mg) before going to bed for 5 consecutive days. While others take a placebo (a mental-safe drug that has no effect on the body).

After 5 days, the scientists found that those who received vitamin B6 supplements had a better ability to remember dreams than those who took placebo.

Interestingly, vitamin B6 does not affect much the content of dreams . Vividness and quirky phenomena occurring in the dream remain the same. But people who take vitamin B6 supplements are better able to remember dreams.

Australian scientists hope, the discovery of the effect of vitamin B6 with the ability to remember people's dreams will open hope for many medical therapies.

The de Deolol Aspy, the main author of the study revealed: " Lucid dream phenomenon " - the state in which the sleeper knows that he is dreaming has many potential benefits, for example, you can apply "dreaming" to avoid nightmares, treat obsessions, increase creativity, improve motor skills or even rehabilitate after an injury. "

However, you do not need to try to supplement vitamin B6 if not necessary. Because this vitamin is very abundant in milk, cheese, eggs, red meat, liver, whole grains, beans, fruits and fish.

Currently, the team is focusing on understanding the mechanism of action of the dose of vitamin B6 absorbed into the body with the ability to remember dreams. Most likely, the study participants did not adequately absorb the necessary amount of vitamin B6.
