Spot-On-Art: To Sleep Is Such Sweet Joy

Have you ever wondered how long you could go without sleeping?  Well I read at Listverse that the record is about 18 days.

Ever try to sleep extra on the weekends, or any time, to make up for lost sleep?  Well, you can't really make up sleep, and extra sleeping can confuse your sleep-wake cycle.  It's a myth about sleep discussed at HelpGuide.org.

I've read that 5-30 minutes of tossing and turning means you have insomnia.  At Stanford.edu it is suggested that if you haven't fallen asleep after 20 minutes, get up and do something boring.  We know boring can rock us to sleep like a baby.  I use 30 minutes as my gauge of whether or not I am going to fall asleep.

Dreaming

Do naps make you have insomnia?  Strangely, I've found that when I have been able to take a midday nap, I am drowsy at bedtime.  Stanford says to not take naps, and if you have to, make it for less than 1 hour, and before 3pm.  Hum-m-m-m.

One thing that I do know about sleeping is that our puzzling, prophetic dreams are not as much as an enigma as we think. This is because when we sleep, we dream about what we already know.  Take it from someone who has studied dreams for more than 25 years.  You already know the secret of the dream you had last night.
