Sleep

[Even Adam]

I like the bit about how colour television reduced black-and-white dreaming.

I think the position is which people sleep cannot possibly determine their characteristics. Surely the position in which you are comfy will relate to how you are shaped and how you avoid to much pressure on certain parts of your body?

Point 16 must have some secret relation to you......
That's why you posted

I knew the blind dreamt and I believe I knew this also to be in colour I also knew I slept far too little and am also intrigued by the idea that television in colour actually changed the black and white nature of dreams for people.

Don't most people shift around in their sleep, anyway?

I'm trying to get a better relationship with sleep these days. Insomnia and I go way back, unfortunately.

It's tough to break certain habits though-- I love to read in bed, which is a no-no, supposedly...

It doesn't say anything about sleeping on the wet patch.

Well, I guess the unconscious muscular stimulation could reflect on internal unconscious processes.

Indeed. I know a guy called Liam to whom it applies.

I heard that, but I watch TV from my bed all the time and I've been fine recently.

It means you like to accept the consequences of your actions.

Half of that is complete, unverifiable bollocks.

What's wrong with reading in bed? I do that every night and I'm an excellent sleeper. The reading helps me wind down. I read until I'm almost asleep.

Now I lay me down not to sleep
I just get tangled in the sheets
I swim in sweat three inches deep
I just lay back and claim defeat

Chapter read and lesson learned
I turned the lights off while she burned
So while she's three hundred degrees
I throw the sheets off and I freeze

Lids down, I count sheep
I count heartbeats
The only thing that counts is
that I won't sleep
I countdown, I look around

Who needs sleep?
well you're never gonna get it
Who needs sleep?
tell me what's that for
Who needs sleep?
be happy with what you're getting
There's a guy who's been awake
since the Second World War

My hands are locked up tight in fists
My mind is racing, filled with lists
of things to do and things I've done
Another sleepless night's begun

Lids down, I count sheep
I count heartbeats
The only thing that counts is
that I won't sleep
I countdown, I look around

Who needs sleep?
well you're never gonna get it
Who needs sleep?
tell me what's that for
Who needs sleep?
be happy with what you're getting
There's a guy who's been awake
since the Second World War

Who needs sleep?
well you're never gonna get it
Who needs sleep?
tell me what's that for
Who needs sleep?
be happy with what you're getting
There's a guy who's been awake
since the Second World War

There's so much joy in life,
so many pleasures all around
But the pleasure of insomnia
is one I've never found
With all life has to offer,
there's so much to be enjoyed
But the pleasures of insomnia
are ones I can't avoid

Lids down, I count sheep
I count heartbeats
The only thing that counts is
that I won't sleep
I countdown, I look around

Hala Hala Hala

Who needs sleep?
well you're never gonna get it
Who needs sleep?
tell me what's that for
Who needs sleep?
be happy with what you're getting
There's a guy who's been awake
since the Second World War

Cancer meds side effect includes insomnia.

What about the sensation that you're falling? What's with that?

If it is just half it is shit hot psychology

Pfft. You're such a hypnagogic jerk.

If you don't have a problem with insomnia, there's nothing wrong with reading in bed. If you do, though, the standard advice is to reserve the bedroom for sleep and sex, and to do TV viewing, computerizing, paperwork, reading, etc., elsewhere.

I think that's the Moro reflex-- though I'm not sure. Babies have it-- a reaction to being on your back that makes you feel like you're falling.
