I have been pondering starting a little side blog about my disorderly sleep, so here we go!
I do not have trouble falling asleep. In fact I yawn and fade out all throughout the day. I could lay down and snooze at any time. This is becauseI don't sleep, I dream, yeah. Sleep studies(think various gadgets attached to my body while I sleep in an office come bedroom) have shown that when I sleep at night, my brain stays active dreaming and scheming away more than it should.
R.E.M. is my favorite band and ironically they named after the stage of sleep that plagues my nights. My brain slips into REM 15 to 20 min after I fall asleep, when most people sleep for around 90 min before going into REM. This is sign of narcoplepsy . As a result, hilarity ensues and I wake up in the morning anxious, tense, frazzled, and ready to go to bed!
I do work with some health professionals to find eclectic ways to work with this, but I figured while that happens I might as well share some of the entertaining things that come out of my sleep!
