I know someone posted on this earlier but seriously, the CFA dreams keep getting worse and worse every night and we still have 17 more days. When I wake up in the morning I feel like I haven’t rested at all because of the formula’s and practice exam problems going through my dreams! I seem to get to a problem every night in my dream that I can’t solve and I dream about the same problem all night! I’ve almost started dreading going to sleep at night because I’m so anxious when I wake up!!! Please tell me all of you are going through the same thing???
i had a similar problem. I stopped by the book store and bought a couple novels that I read for 20 minutes before bed to clear all that crap out and haven’t had a problem since.
Learn all the material and then you will only have good dreams. 
I’ve never had a dream about the CFA until, honestly, last night. I made the decision to fire back a venti dark roast at about 10pm. By 1 I had flown through swap/forward/future/option questions from schweser concept checkesr and book 7. All night I was dreaming that the exam was may 21st and I really should have spent the day/night working on FSA. Damn you pensions! Anyways, my gf made me sleep on the couch. Fair enough, watching highlights of New Orleans giving away a 2 game lead to San Antonio was depressing enough to put me to sleep.
Good idea on the novel before bed. Going to give that a try tonight!
Daily Show seems to work for me, my brain can’t take any more reading.

Great idea. It’s like clearing the cache on your hard drive. I woke up at 2am last night and realized I was dreaming of the formula for operating leverage…wtf…
I dont dream. I dont sleep. I only study. 24 hours a day. 168 hours a week. I dont eat. I only drink coffee.
i haven’t been able to sleep well lately. Can’t wait until I’m done with the exam.
I can’t wait until the exam. CFA is my life. Without it, I am nothing…nothing… I am delirious.
Lol, oh man, please lets all just pass.
Nice to see there are other psychos here.
Haha. I don’t even know what I’d do without studying for the CFA. It has consumed my life for the past year. Strange to think about what happens after you’re actually done.
Yikes. I just got less than three hours of sleep last night because I kept waking up. No less than 4 really stressful dreams last night, and we’re still so far away! None directly about the exam but clearly from the stress of it. I might have to start on the sleep aids sooner than I’d like to if this keeps up…
laid awake for hours last night with adrenaline going thinking about exam day.
I had a date with Princess Melatonin last night.

Ok–Update from last night: Tried to watch TV for 30 minutes before going to bed to try to get my mind off this stuff. I thought it worked until I woke up every hour in the middle of problems and formulas. I finally gave up on trying to go back to sleep around 6:00am and got up. Thinking large quantities of coffee from here on out might be my only solution.

I’m going to slip one in his drink between sessions.
Maratikus, may I ask what you were using? I bought some last time around for LI and even after taking two I was up within an hour of falling asleep…
