Brainstorming Alone?

2012-01-08T22:08:00.000-08:00

At Dreamlabs, we've realized that it is easier to "come up with ideas and solutions" when you are talking to someone than while brainstorming alone.

What do you think? What has been your experience? Drop us a line.

Suggest Ideas for Better Sleep

At Dreamlabs, we are always looking for individuals who would like to share ideas that have worked for them to get better sleep or are willing to try those that worked for others.

On this page, we maintain a list of ideas that have been suggested. Please feel free to try them.

01. Eating warm oatmeal before sleeping.

If you try one or more of the ideas above, please drop us a line if they worked or did not work for you.

Lukewarm Water to Dreams

2011-12-30T17:31:00.000-08:00

At Dreamlabs, some experiments have shown that consuming about 150 ml (5 fl oz.) of lukewarm water right before sleeping not only promotes the quality of sleep one gets but also improves the chances to have dreams while sleeping.

We have seen a significant improvement in having dreams on nights when lukewarm water was consumed to those when it was not.

Not only would we like to understand dreams while sleeping, we would also like to understand the role of warm water and it effect on the human body.

If you would like to share your experience with us, please drop us a line.

5 Minutes for Better Sleep

2011-12-30T17:14:00.000-08:00

At Dreamlabs, we have put multiple parameters under test which could lead to better sleep among humans. Some of those suggestions are as below:

Brush your teeth before sleeping. Rinse with a mouthwash.
Drink about 150 ml (or 5 fl oz.) of lukewarm water.

This should help you get better sleep and possibly help you fall asleep faster. If it does, please drop us a line.

Alarm Snooze

At Dreamlabs, we take sleep seriously and consider it an important activity.

Snoozing alarms makes us lose precious sleep time that we could utilize sleeping. We feel, if you know that you need an alarm 30 mins. prior to your wake-up time, you are losing 30 mins. of precious sleep time which particularly matter if you are jet-lagged or slept late. It is better to set the alarm when you are supposed to get up and get up in one go.

Not only this, if you snooze, your wake-up cycle is no longer smooth which may possibly affect your concentration during the day.

Conversations with Self

2011-12-30T16:09:00.001-08:00

At Dreamlabs, we have observed that individuals who "talk to themselves" are possibly less likely to make mistakes while executing a set of tasks compared to those who do not engage in conversations with themselves.

We believe, it is due to the fact that there is an extra opportunity to talk about the job at hand and briefly discuss and rehearse about it which reduces the probability of a mistake.

Effect of Language on Human Understanding

2011-12-30T15:25:00.000-08:00

At Dreamlabs, we are interested in studying the "effect of language on human understanding".

We believe that the language in which we think, learn, and work may affect our analytic and logical ability to process information, our understanding of concepts, and our learning or working efficiency.

In particular, we are interested in studying Russian, Sanskrit, and English.
