Re: Title: Working Memory Training in Older Adults: Evidence of Transfer and Maintenance Effects (8 month follow up)

he makes a lot of money it????

dont follow that..........

Pontus, in my other post i just described how i stopped bws for weeks,
how i could never get myself to complete dbn5, but when i did i was
getting 30s, 40s, up to 50s if i was lucky.........

i had been getting high scores in dnb4 for months..........

and today, all of a sudden, i did three sessions on standard dnb5:

73%
91%
89%

last night i worked 7pm-7am, i had four hours of sleep waking up every
hour to go urinate (yeah, that sucks--but even without that, i wake up
constantly), took a 30minute nap later, and now i scored this crap out
of nowhere?

wtf?????

on my best days i was guessing and now this???????????

on another note......any good sleeping remedies without addiction/
tolerance that doesnt interfere with REM sleep????? and no hang-over
effect......

the more specifics, the better.
