Deep Weird Sleep


So, i learned this interesting little fun fact in my psychology class last week. I've been trying to find some articles about it on-line but i can't. I mean it came directly from the teacher so I'm just going to assume that he's right (:-/). Apparently, when you are REALLY sleep deprived you fall in and out of sleep unintentionally sometimes, right? Well, when you come out of the beginning stages of sleep in a sudden jolt those are small seizures! Anyone and everyone will probably experience these, I think that's nuts. I'm sure this interests me because i have no sleep schedual and i stay up for long periods of time (on occasion). Usually I stay up to finish my school projects, but sometimes i just can't sleep. I guess I occasionally experience these small seizures as i try to keep myself awake in the delicate social situations that follow a night of no sleep. I think I've equated it to my mind "exploding" awake but really my brain is just malfunctioning. I think these seizures are called Sleep Myoclonus but I'm not sure. This is the most relevant article I could find.

  1. So, i learned this interesting little fun fact from Ashley last night. I haven't been trying to find some articles about it on-line, but it came directly from Ashley so I'm just going to assume that she's right (:-/).

    Apparently, your brain has a mini-mini-micro-mini stroke every time you meet a new person due to the stain of taking in so much new information all at once.

    I don't know if this is true but I don't think it is true for me.

    I have a horrible time remembering people. Not just their names (gaaa- I wish that was all I'd forget), but also what folks look like.

    I wish I could figure the reason for why I don't remember much, but I'd rather just mellow on this bowl a bit...

    Hell yell! Drug use - UP! Hoes - DOWN.
    Fuck your society. I'm never cutting my hair.
