A week or two ago, I started recalling dreams every night. Used to, it would be extremely lucky for me to remember even one dream a week. Happy!

However, it seems like now, I'm a lot more sleepy when I wake up than usual. I get the same amount of sleep, but I'm sleepier in the morning. But when I'm no longer sleepy later in the day, I seem more alert, focused, and with better memory in general.

Could it possibly be that my quest for dream recall has somehow changed my sleep cycle, possibly for the better?
