I can fall asleep for thirty seconds. I think a lot of people actually do this, I dunno. Figure it was a good time to bring it up. In the morning when I wake up (6:15 ish) I'm very slow and sluggish. My alarm goes off at the bottom of the minute, so as soon as it hits 6:15 it goes off.

I'll sit up, and it will be 6:16/6:17. My clock is actually pretty accurate, I set it once a week (bad habit). But, in the few seconds it takes me to hit my alarm and sit up, two minutes pass? I think maybe I fall back asleep somewhere in there.

And tonite, I was watching "Radio" with mom, and I woke up at the end. Note that I don't *remember* falling asleep, but I sure as hell did. I don't even remember being tired. Maybe there's just something wrong with me.

Oh well,

Same thing happened to me except for when I sleep I hibernate practically rofl :P I fell asleep end of first period of Tampa and Montreal hockey game which was like what 8:30pm eastern give or take a 10 mins.. Anyways then next thing I noticed I wake up all rejuvenated from what? A long sleep :P Woke up the next morning at 5:30am or so. I dont remember being tired or wanting to sleep or even having my eyes close slowly on me. Pretty sad..


OH Another cool thing happened to me. I was dreaming I was with this girl and everything. Can't remember her face..DAMMIT always happens..anyways and when we were together like holding her and touching her I FELT IT FOR REALZ! It felt like reality....I later snapped out of it and I thought of the dream and who the girl was and i tryed to sleep again and it wouldnt let me XD

Well i don't think you can force yourself to dream about something. I for one have noticed this, with my experience:

The more i think about something during the day, the less chance i have of dreaming about it during the day. Dreams come from the subconscious, and if something is on your conscious mind all day, what's the point of it being in your subconscious, assuming i spelled those words right.

I tend to dream about the things that i may have thought about for a few minutes during the day, rather than the stuff that's really got me thinking. I can't say that's always the case, because if something is really bothering me, yeah, i'll dream about it. But other than that, i won't.

And yes, i find that completely weird, that you can usually remember waking up, but no one, or at least no one I'VE ever met, has been able to pinpoint the exact time you fall asleep. I mean that makes sense, because if you're anything like me, you end up laying in bed with your eyes closed for at least 10-30 mins before you actually fall asleep. Either way, it still puzzles me.

Well I live a messed up day,I'll go to bed and be up for an hour trying to sleep and thinking about stuff. My brain doesn't give in until then..

Yeah that sounds about right,I've had that happen to me quite a bit. Dreaming about the bs stuff instead of the good stuff.

So do i sometimes, and i think it just comes down to the fact that what's keeping you awake for those 10,20,60 mins is you thinking about stuff. Obviously the best place to think about stuff is when you're all by yourself, lying in bed at night.

something just like that happened to me when i was taking a chemistry test. I was thinking about the last 2 problems on the test leaning on my hand and i looked at the clock it was 9:45, blinked, and then the clock said it was 10:15. Although somehow I had figured out the answer when i woke up, like it was written in and everything. Weird huh?

I take a 1-3 hour nap almost every day. Then I get about 5-6 hours at night.

Ah, this is a topic that interests me, so I will pop in here.

Many researchers have attributed alot of alien abductions and other such things to a sleep "disorder". When you sleep, a chemical is released that paralizes your body, and when this can be combined with a lucid dream or an out of body experience to create extremly strange , um, experiences. Unfortunely, this chemical is linked with the part of the brain that is active with dreams, and the fight or flight responce, so they are almost always nightmares, hence the aliens and devils and such. The experience is essentially this- you wake up, look around, but then you notice you cant move, your body tightens, and that adrenaline, and the irrational fear kicks in, then your wall explodes, or you see the light through your window, then the fires of hell burst forth from your sock drawer or something. Alot of shit goes down, and you cant move at all, then after being terrified for a while, you pass out, because the chemical only wears off during sleep, so you have to go back to sleep. Nasty.

I have had this happen to me before, although mine was not as bad as the typical ones. Mine was like this- I was dreaming, then I went lucid for whatever reason. As always, as soon as I go lucid, I wake up, it is like, hrmmm wait...this is a dream, oh damnit, pop. when I woke up, I looked around for a second then all the muscles in my body arched, and my arms clenched and went into the air, and I couldn't move. I could see my roomate in the kitchen, and I tried to yell to her, to tell her to some and confirm what was happening to me, but I couldn't say any thing, my throut wouldnt make a noise. By this timeI knew what was going down though, lucky me, right? Then the entire wall to my left lite up with a golden light, and split apart, and I could see the clouds, and I...got the impression of, musical notes or something, and heard a choir sing, loudly.the whole room "shook", but of course it didnt really, my mate being 30 feet away. I know what you are thinking, that this isnt really a terrifying event, but I had no choice but to be scared, even though I wansn't mentally scared, my body wanted to flee. I assume this dream has something to do with my urge to know what happens after death, as I am not a religious person. Perhaps i am even scared of it. But that isn't the point, eh?

This is a real thing, they can actually induce it at will in sleep labs. And it was very definatly realistic.

Bah, I was going to respond to some other posts, but by the time i got done with this story, I forgot everything. I have been awake for umm....37 hrs, 48 mins 12..13...14 seconds, heh.
