This thread was inspired by a comment on the View on Life thread. (you should wathc your mouth next time!)

Anyway... When do you think sleep begins? When does it end? Why do you think your dreams have very little in common with your real life? What is the meaning of life? What is the ground velocity of an unladen swallow?

Sleep begins when I lose consciousness, and ends when I wake up... to the point when I can move. Sometimes, I wake up halfway - literally. I can feel my body trying to awaken, and I think I can manage to groan, trying to get someone's attention (which never works), but I'm completely paralyzed.
It's not cool.

Sleep is awesome. I love to sleep. I think I'll go do it right now. Goodnight.

Do you have stairs in your house?

I find sleep an inconvenience! Sooooo many times I've been sitting here at 4am winning a game of UT2k4 but unable to keep my eyes open...

I'm not an actor. I just play one on TV.

You're right. I've had that happen a couple times before. It only lasts a couple of seconds, but it's a terrifying feeling.

I hate sleep (until I actually start snoozing that is). I'm tired when I'm NOT in bed and then my brain WAKES UP when I GET IN bed!
Talk about screwy!

I love sleep, but don't you hate when you're staying up to watch something and fall asleep at some point along the way, only to be awoken at 4 am by the TV, pissed that you missed the show?

Steal my dreams and sell them back to me.....

happens to me ALOT, and because of it I have really bad insomnia..

Pretty crappy having to choose between lying in bed awake for hours or staying up and being dead tired...

not that dreaming allways peatchy either,

I find sleep a waste of my time, think about it, almost 7-9 hours (depending on when you go to sleep) lost to sleeping, but it has to be done so, whatever.

I am also a "picky sleeper". Everything has to be perfect, its werid.

Run Away!!

It happens b/c your reticular activation system (this little thing somewhere within the gooey folds of your brain) switches off when you sleep so you can't move when you dream.

Sometimes, your RAS switches on after you wake up, so until that happens, you're still paralyzed.

Never happened to me personally.

Old aunts used to come up to me at weddings, poking me in the ribs and cackling, telling me, "You're next." They stopped after I started doing the same thing to them at funerals.

Daily physical activity helps with that a lot

I love sleep. I look forward to sleep once I wake up.

LONG LIVE DREAMCAST!!!

I like sleep, but I don't like how I have to sleep some exact abitrary length that's about 9 hours in order to not feel crappy. If I sleep longer I just don't have any energy, if I sleep less I just feel tired all day.

I hate naps because whenever I fall alseep I wake up with a bad hair day, having a bad hair day after having already been awake for several hours isn't a good thing. Naps don't make me refreshed

Damn... he almost sounded belivable for a second.

Don't be unwise judge me not by my size. You wont believe your eyes watch the xwing rise!

I don't like sleep. If I oversleep it feels like I've wasted a couple of hours I could have otherwise used, even if I do go to sleep at 4 AM.

"Apples rule. If it weren't for a conspiracy on the part of fruit manufacturers we'd all have apples."

For some reason whenever I'm slightly tired, but have homework to do, if I just rest my head on my bed I can fall asleep almost instantly. If I'm in my bed TRYING to go to sleep my mind wakes up completely and I lay there for like an hour.

yup same here.. sometimes I'll wake up from a nap and I'll be sore or have a head ache, not feeling any better at all! and it's not because of sleeping in a wierd position, it just hurts to wake up

Harharhar go me

Anyways. Sleep sleep.. Well, sleep is refreshing, but sometimes I have horrid dreams, and I do move when I dream sometimes. I've found myself in the weirdest places. In the kitchen with my hand in the peanut butter, sprawled on the stairs, outside etc.

Sleep starts for me when I don't hear anything in the outside world, but still hear blood rushing in my ears and my breathing. I dunno why, but I never move when I'm like that, unless I REALLY tried to.
