Sleep, an essential and often enjoyed part of our daily routine, still remains a realm of mysteries and unexpected occurrences. We might spend a third of our lives in this state, yet there are so many fascinating facets of sleep that remain unexplored by many. Here’s a dive into seven such interesting factlets: 1. The … Continue reading 7 Curious Facts About The World of Sleep
Five Fascinating Insights into the Lives of Night Owls
Unveiling the nocturnal side of human nature, we delve into the fascinating world of night owls. In this article, we explore five intriguing facts that highlight the distinct biological, psychological, and societal aspects that define these creatures of the night.
- The Extended Biological Clock Night owls, in an intriguing contrast to the rest, possess an inner biological clock that tends to run slightly longer than the standard 24-hour cycle. This unique circadian rhythm systematically pushes their schedule a little later each day. As a result, falling asleep at conventional times and awakening in the morning can often pose a significant challenge for these nocturnal individuals.
- Comparative Personality Traits Research has illuminated a fascinating contrast between morning people and night owls. While morning birds generally exhibit greater levels of happiness and a lower propensity towards unfavorable habits, night owls score higher on the intelligence scale. Furthermore, night owls have been found to display a heightened degree of sexual promiscuity.
- Workplace Advantages Night owls often find their stride in professional settings. These individuals are not only potentially more successful in the workplace but are also credited with being better at lateral thinking. This knack for approaching problems from novel angles makes them indispensable in brainstorming and innovation-oriented tasks.
- Financial Success and Intellectual Brightness Scientists have provided compelling evidence that night owls, on average, outshine early risers in terms of financial success and intellectual prowess. Despite being in a world geared towards morning routines, night owls manage to earn more than their early-bird counterparts.
- Genetics and Mortality A fascinating genetic aspect underlies the categorization of individuals as early birds or night owls, and this also correlates intriguingly with the time of one’s death. Those inclined towards the morning are likely to meet their end around 11 AM, whereas night owls, true to their nature, are most likely to pass away around 6 PM.
Between the 1840’s and 1940’s there…
Between the 1840’s and 1940’s there was an idea that couples did better to sleep in separate beds. People thought if couples slept together the sleeper who was weaker in some way (such as older) would absorb vitality from the sleeper who was stronger in some way.

What’s the Funniest Thing You Heard Someone Say or Do While Sleeping? Here’s What People Had to Say.
I have a confession to make: I sleeptalk. A lot.
And, in my younger days, I even took the occasional stroll in my sleep and scared the hell out of my parents and my siblings.
And if you’ve spent any time sleeping in the vicinity of other humans, you know that things can get really weird once the lights go out for the night.
AskReddit users talked about the funniest things they’ve seen folks do and say in their sleep.
1. Well, that’s weird.
“My ex-boyfriend sometimes talks in his sleep and the funniest story was this one time I was still up reading a book and I hadn’t noticed that he was already asleep next to me.
Suddenly he bursts out ” Will you just give me the f*cking yogurt already, Shannon!?” in a flawless British accent and scares the sh*t out of me.
We’re both German and none of our first languages include English. We didn’t know a Shannon. He’s lactose-intolerant.”
2. Making conversation.
“My girl woke up one night and said “Did you find your rocks?” and I asked her what she was talking about and she said “I don’t know, I’m just trying to make conversation.” and promptly went back to sleep.
She has no recollection of this.”
3. This is amazing.
“My boyfriend either recites postcodes (delivery driver) or calls the dog in his sleep.
So either he is mad no one is responding to his postcode nonsense or I get a flying 30 kg dog to my body.”
4. Horse.
“Once my ex said “horse.” That’s all. Just horse. But with a sense of urgency…
The same ex told me I once sat straight up in bed and mumbled, “Jesus, grandma, you scared the sh*t out of me.”
I had been dreaming that I was in bed at night and my grandma (still alive at the time) wandered into the room and stood at the end of the bed with a blank stare.”
5. It’s very fluffy.
“So this one time while my s/o was sleeping, she randomly reaches over and starts to pet my leg softly.
When I ask her what she’s doing she looks at me like I’m stupid and says “what does it look like? I’m petting this fluffy baby penguin.” Then pauses for a second, pats my leg again and blurts our “Wait this isn’t a penguin!”
I have never laughed so hard over someone talking in their sleep.”
6. Lost in the supermarket.
“My wife started screaming one night that she was lost in the local grocery store. And that no matter where she went she couldn’t find her way out.
I asked her has she tried checking out at the cash registers? She then looked at me and said in her most sincere voice, “that’s why you are the smartest person I know.”
And then she rolled over and fell back asleep.”
7. Wasn’t me!
“He farted very loudly and proceeded to say, “you got the wrong guy!””
8. Don’t move.
“One night, my boyfriend woke me up in the middle of the night, tapping me on my shoulder. He put his finger on his mouth, whispered “shush” to me, then pointed at the door and told me “I can hear something, don’t move”.
Predictably, I nearly sh*t my pants. All the worst possible scenarios crossed my mind, and the moment of silence after he shushed me felt like hours.
Then, he started waving his hands and talking about Tetris, ‘the twirlies’ (idk), and making sure we don’t align… And that’s how I learnt my boyfriend talks in his sleep.”
9. Your wife is scary.
“My wife was an avid sleep talked for a long time and her midnight announcements range from simple single words to elaborate speeches. The ones that really stand out to me are:
Waking up in the middle of the night to her suddenly sitting violently up in bed, throwing back the covers, and screeeeaaaaming: “TARANTULA!!”. That will make you very awake, very quickly.
Whispering my name repeatedly which woke me up so she could share in a hushed, cautious voice: “There is an alligator in here.” When I expressed my concern (playing along) she told me, still whispering, that: “It’s okay. It has been here before.”
But my all time favorite was when, from her perspective as she later explained, she was dreaming that I was playfully sneaking up on her and she saw me and was calling me on it.
From my perspective, my wife sat up in the middle of the night, starting into the darkest corner of the room and said repeatedly in a soft sing-song voice: “I seeee youuuu.” My flipping blood froze.”
10. Well, this is weird.
“Years ago, my wife was mumbling in her sleep and seemed a bit upset. I wanted to comfort her, without waking her up too much, so I said, “Honey, you’re fine. Do you know where you are?”
She slugged me in the arm, and said “I’m in place where punch buggies are seen first.” She then rolled over and muttered to herself, “chugga-chugga-chugga-buggy”, and went back to sleep.
She didn’t remember a think the next morning.”
11. Mom.
“My mom sleepwalks sometimes.
When she was in the middle of her residency, she came into my room in the middle of the night and sharply asked, “Did you give {patient} her dose of {medication} like I asked you to 15 minutes ago?”
I groggily replied, “Who? Wha?”
She just huffed and said, “Well I guess that answers my question.” Before turning around and leaving. (without closing the door of course)
She didn’t remember a thing about it the next morning.”
12. Stop that!
“My boyfriend woke me up the other day by gently putting his fingers in my mouth and I kept moving my head out of the way until eventually I was like “can you stop that!!!”
He then sounded genuinely upset and asked why I woke him up as he was having a really nice dream about feeding a deer.
Brilliant.”

This Woman Made Her Teenage Daughter Sleep in a Tent. Does That Make Her an A-hole?
I don’t think I’ve ever heard a story like this before…
But that means it’s gonna be a good story that we can all comment on!
And this one is a doozy.
A single mother of two girls shared a story on the “Am I the *sshole” forum on Reddit about how she chose to discipline one of her kids.
Let’s see what happened.
AITA for making my daughter sleep in a tent
“I (34F) am a single mother to two girls, ‘Jasmine’ (16F) and ‘Jessica’ (14F).
Their dad passed when I was pregnant with Jess, and I had to work hard. We hit rock bottom, and I was barely making pay cheque to pay cheque but I managed to get a degree, become successful and we live well. Point is, I know how f*cking hard it is to be at the bottom of society, and my daughters know this, which is why I was livid at my daughter’s actions.
Yesterday, Jasmine showed me a video of Jessica cussing a homeless man out and telling him, ‘stop asking me for money, you’d earn it yourself if you weren’t so f*cking lazy and spending what you earned on substances.’
When the homeless man complained about the cold (we live in Northeast England), Jessica responded ‘Yeah people camp for fun, even in December, you can’t complain, you’re living someone’s holiday.’ Fury was an understatement for what I felt, as I thought I had raised an empathetic daughter.
Along with finding the homeless man and making her apologise and help pay for a hotel room for a night for him (she paid £20), as well as signing her up to volunteer at a food bank – I decided to take her up on her offer of sleeping outside.
I locked her bedroom door so she couldn’t go in, put a sign on it saying Closed for the holidays, pitched a tent in the garden and filled it with blankets and the sleeping bag I used when I was camping in Norway on a family holiday as a teen (aka really bloody thermal).
I slept in the room closest to the garden for that night so I was nearby if anything was to go wrong. She was reluctant to do it, but chose it over the option of not having access to her phone until the Christmas holidays are over.
In the morning, she was crying about how horrible it was to wake up on a cold mat and get disrupted sleep due to birds. After comforting her, I asked her would she like to do that everyday like the homeless man. It struck a cord with her and she was crying over her actions, while even after the £20 she was rolling her eyes and her apology was not sincere.
This afternoon, I came home from work to Jessica making a big meal to donate to the homeless people who live on the road near our house. I was proud of how she turned over a new leaf, and after taking the food to the people, my sister came over. Apparently, my nephew and Jessica were talking at school, and he asked her about her plans for the afternoon, and she said that she was going to cook for the homeless.
My nephew asked what triggered that, and Jess told him everything, which he relayed back to his mum. My sister said that my punishment was too harsh, and just the £20 and the food bank would have done the trick, and I was acting irrationally due to my past. Now I’m second guessing myself.
AITA?”
Let’s see what folks on Reddit had to say about this story.
One person said she thinks the mother did the right thing and that it most likely changed her daughter’s horrible attitude.

Another person said that the mom taught the child a good lesson and most importantly taught her EMPATHY.

One Reddit user called the mom’s actions “the most appropriate punishment.”
And they stated the obvious: kids can be real jerks sometimes, so they need to be put in their place when that happens.

One person got right to the point: the woman’s daughter got off easy.

Finally, a reader said that the mother did the right thing and there was nothing cruel about this life lesson.

Sounds like this family is going through a really tough time…

People Share Stories About When They Dreamed So Hard It Felt Real
Have you ever had a dream that seemed so real that you woke up and said to yourself, “did that just really happen to me…?”
And sometimes that can be a good thing or a bad thing, FYI…
Has that ever happened to you?
AskReddit users opened up about the most vivid, realistic dreams they’ve ever had.
1. Where are my blades?!?!
“As a kid in the 1990s I dreamed that my neighbour had a rollerblade shop in her backyard and she said I could pick out any pair I wanted!
The next morning I went out and popped my head over the fence and it was just a stupid normal backyard.
No rollerblades for me.”
2. Where’s my son?
“I once dreamed i had a son and i haf to go get him from school but I couldn’t get there in time.
When I woke up I searched the number of his mother in my phone to let her know I couldn’t get there in time.
It took a minute before I realized I don’t have a gf or a son.
I was 17 at the time.”
3. Like an action movie.
“I sometimes have super intense action dreams where a good friend and I are up against the world in some dire, overused Hollywood plot.
Conspiracy thrillers, taking down billionaires in covert missions, overthrowing a corrupt politician, it’s all there.
I know they’re not real, but it makes me feel a little more empowered when I wake up to make the coffee.”
4. Woke up in a panic.
“Had a dream a few years ago that grandma died. Woke up crying and called her. Didn’t get an answer because she was asleep.
Started freaking out and asked mom if grandma was okay. Mom laughed at me. I got a call from grandma after she had woken up and saw that I’d tried to call her.
She was perfectly fine…”
5. Are you okay?
“I killed people in my dream and stuffed their phone in their mouths.
When I woke up, I felt an intense sense of guilt and checked my room for bodies. After about a minute, I realized that was highly improbable.
And yes, I’m a dumb*ss.”
6. Work nightmares.
“I have had dreams where I am at work and they seem so d*mn real. I actually had a work nightmare come true.
I had this nightmare that I would not realize I was scheduled and not show up to work.
I actually had that happen a couple years ago. I made it in after my boss was like ‘Hey where the hell are you?’”
7. Every night.
“Every night I have hyper-realistic dreams.
Some times it’s me in a huge space ship entering a new world to colonize it. Other times it’s about ghosts crawling out of holes in the walls. Both I can tell when I wake up were dreams.
But there are some…Sweet bees are they annoying. They’re just me at work, and I move some bottles to another shelf. When I go to work the following day, I go to the shelf to get them. No bottles. It was a dream. Or I’ll have a conversation with someone and only when I reference it do I realize it was a dream.
Every night I dream so vividly. I hate it 95% of the time because I always wake up feeling exhausted, either emotionally or mentally. I even asked my doctor once if there is medication to prevent me from dreaming.
I remember dreams from years ago that pop into my head randomly like they’re memories. I wish I could sleep and not dream.”
8. Italy.
“I had what felt like a really long dream that I was living in Italy. Now, obviously it was just a dream and couldn’t have happened because I was just an average American in my early 20s at the time living in the bumf*ck country side.
But, it felt so real. I had a full-time job in my dream (can’t recall what job though) and even remember that I was invited to some party after a day of work. I had two pet dogs in my dream, one a Chihuahua and one a mix that I can’t recall. I was living alone but generally enjoying my life in Italy.
Again, it was all just a dream but it felt so frickin’ weird waking up and realizing it wasn’t all real, that I was still in my messy bedroom in my parent’s home. I had a mild panic attack when I woke up utterly confused at what the heck happened. For a brief moment, I genuinely thought that I was actually in Italy and that me being in my parent’s home was the actual dream.
It’s been years since then and I am nowhere near Italy or even have plans on going to Italy but I still think about that dream at times.”
9. So realistic.
“It happened to me when I was on cardiac medication, that cause sleeping issues as side effect. I had super realistic dream about my ex boyfriend cheating on me and bragging about it everywhere with his new girl.
When I woke up, I was genuinely sad and almost had tears in my eyes, but after a minute I realized it was just a dream. Day after that I had a dream, that I was stabbed to death by some creep I was running away from.
Or another time I woke up waving hands around my head because I thought, that wasps are attacking me. Dreams were so realistic, I was even little afraid of going to sleep.”
10. What are you doing?
“I dreamt that I had forgotten to schedule a meeting for my boss. I ran into work early the next day and sent out a meeting invite to my boss and the clients concerned.
My boss came into work and asked me what I was doing. I then explained he had asked me to set this meeting up yesterday and that he could send me the documents he needed printed.
Midway through explaining this I realized it was, in fact, a dream. He was not pleased.”
11. Bring on the meat.
“I dreamt of eating buffet of meats. I woke up with saliva coming out of my mouth like I can smell and taste the meats.
I waited till lunch got out to my favourite meat buffet restaurant just to find out it is closed because of quarantine despite of my government allows restaurants to open since they are necessity sector.
I was p*ssed off the whole day. F*ck that dream.”
12. Whoa…
“I had a dream that the space shuttle blew up in one of the most vivid dreams I have ever had…two days before it happened. That made me question some things, but was probably just a stupid coincidence.
The dream was so vivid that I jumped out of bed as soon as I woke up and typed out the dream and sent it to some friends on ICQ. Two days later I woke up to phone calls and a whole cr*pload of new messages on ICQ and IRC. I eventually picked up the phone and was told to turn on CNN.
I will never forget how vivid that dream was. I was watching a space shuttle launch on TV, which was for some reason being held in Central Park in NY.. along with my family. This is when I remember the dream starting to get lucid. I looked closer at the TV and it looked more and more sharp and vivid and I ended up being pulled right into the TV, at that point being aware that I’m dreaming.
I remember sort of looking over central park from a great height, the same vantage point that I saw on TV. I slowly descended and ended up on top of a skyscraper just south of central park. It was some sort of a residential tower that doesn’t actually exist (in my dream it was very tall). I remember feeling the breeze of the wind on my skin and the sunshine on my face, as I stood on the roof of that building.
In the distance I could see the space shuttle being set to launch right from central park. I was lucid so I knew that this made no sense, but there it was.. It was so vivid.. felt so real.. if over-exaggerated in the way everything appeared. Super tall skyscrapers, an oversized space shuttle, the perfect amount of sun shining on everything, producing an epic scene right in front of me.
I remember being up on that skyscraper with a bunch of people all cheering and watching the launch. There was a countdown and the space shuttle slowly took off.. but immediately had problems, as it for whatever reason started moving off to the left… eventually there was some sort of explosion, and the space shuttle flew right into one of the skyscrapers. The skycraper started falling, and the whole scene basically changed to a dark gloomy sky, as this was all happening.
The last thing I remember is our building being hit by another one, fire, and smoke, and I woke up… jumped out of bed, ran to my computer, and typed out the most vivid dream I have ever had.
Two days later it was February 1, 2003, and Space Shuttle Columbia disintegrated on reentry, as it was returning home.. A completely different scenario than the one I saw in my dream.. but I felt that tragedy in a strange way when it happened.
That was a super weird dream and I haven’t really had any like that since from what I can remember.. except for maybe some strange dreams I had when I was in New Orleans.”
Have you ever had a dream that felt totally real?
If so, please tell us all about it in the comments.
We can’t wait to hear from you!

People Talk About the Statement, “Sleeping in Your Car Should Be Legal, and Not Looked Down Upon”
I’ve never actually lived in my car, but I’ve had a few nights when sleeping in my car was the best or the only option and I snoozed the night away in the backseat on a side street somewhere.
Hey, you gotta do what you gotta do…
So why is there such a stigma around sleeping in our vehicles?
AskReddit users discussed whether sleeping in your car should be legal and shouldn’t be looked down upon.
Let’s see what they had to say.
1. Your decision.
“To me it makes no sense that you can’t legally sleep in your car in certain places. Like sure if you’re on someone else’s property you should find a better spot.
But there are whole cities where it is flat out illegal to sleep in your car on public property overnight. You own your car, it should be your decision if you can sleep in it.”
2. Agreed.
“It’s liability issues, but I agree with you.
If I was traveling around the country I’d hate to have to pay for a bunch of hotels when I could just chill in my car for a couple nights.”
3. You can make it work.
“You just have to have the right car, correctly set up. If they can’t see or hear you in the back of your vehicle, and if they have no reason to believe the vehicle is occupied, you’re golden.
I’ve done this with a cargo trailer that I set up inside as a camper with a bed, fridge, microwave, etc. Also, car camped for a while with a Honda Element that I put curtains over the windows. A panel van would work well too.”
4. From someone who’s been there.
“I slept in my car for 5 months.
I also had a job delivering sandwiches so it worked out. I usually slept in Walmart parking lots and never got bothered unless i parked literally anywhere else. Ive never had more run ins with the cops than when i lived out of my car, but on the flipside, they were all very understanding and never wrote me any tickets.
Living out of your car is very scary at first, but you get used to it and it is very eye opening/ enlightening. You get an outsiders perspective of the rat race. Everyone around you is in busy mode, chasing the next dollar just so they can afford a place to put a mattress.
In the city, sleeping is the only thing you’re not aloud to do anywhere else besides a home. You can literally do everything else you need to do to get by.
Living in your car gives you this sense of freedom that you’ll never get anywhere else besides an RV i suppose and even then, i would imagine you could get stuck in bed like you do at home. When you wake up from sleeping in your car, you’re up and ready to take on the day.
There is no sleeping in really because when you wake up you have to find the nearest bathroom before you sh*t your pants. The cleanest bathrooms that you can go in without looking weird because youre not buying anything are at the dollar tree. But they open at like 9am so i would always have to use Walmarts when i woke up. I will say, thunderstorms are pretty f*cking scary when you live in your car.
Every storm feels like a f*cking tornado is about to blow you away. But yeah. There are a lot more people who live out of their cars than you think.”
5. Might be true.
“I’m convinced the money hotels make from sleeping in a car being illegal is a contributing factor to why it’s still illegal.
Also, the general hatred of poor and homeless people in this country.”
6. Can be sketchy.
“Truck stops can be safer but it depends on where you are at.
Theres no way in hell id sleep at the TA truck stop off I 95 near New Jersey nor the one in Baltimore. Hell most of the truck stops whether they’re part of the Big 5 (Loves, Travel Centers of America (TA), Pilot, Flying J and Petro) or not, i wouldn’t stay at in the north east at all.
They’re incredibly unsafe, most are dirty and if you attempt to camp out via an RV or even just a tent and your car, you’re likely to have some very unwelcome attention from not just the truckers but also the truck stop employees and locals….. Most truck stops now will absolutely boot or tow your car/pickup if you are parked there for more than one or two overnight visits.
As for parking at Walmarts… No. Absolutely not. You cannot park, camp or stay overnight in Walmarts any longer due to the issues that are brought about by such things… Namely idiots leaving trash, dead food out in the parking lot, people using the parking lot as a bathroom, abandoning pets and just trashing the place for no reason (since there are trash cans everywhere).
Most Walmarts that allow you to camp out or even sleep in your vehicle on their property are very few and far between. Even asking management before you head to bed won’t do any good if theres a city ordinance that says no camping… Since 95% of Walmarts lease their land from the cities they operate in.
I was a trucker for 7yrs.”
7. I feel this comment.
“I’ve watched too many horror movies and documentaries to sleep in my car on the side of the road.
Like I’m legit afraid some hillbilly might kill me.”
8. I don’t think that would fly here.
“Apparently in a lot of Scandinavia they have “wanderer’s laws” or something that allow you to camp and forage on even private property in most cases.
Kind of an interesting concept.”
9. Shouldn’t be an issue.
“Honestly, it shouldn’t be an issue, so long as it’s limited to one or two night stay within a certain area, within a certain period of time (say per acre/per week).
And you must be low impact unless otherwise stated (no fire, no garbage left behind, no destruction of the property). Sadly, it only takes a few to ruin it for everyone else.”
10. Not in my backyard.
“I don’t want homeless people sleeping in front of my house.
I want my tax dollars to provide safe and adequate solutions for people.”
11. No winners here.
“This was actually a big thing where I grew up.
It was a very safe, upper middle class area with very little crime to pursue. Police spent a lot of their energy trying to hand out DUIs, but also fined people for sleeping in cars or leaving their car overnight.
It created a no-win scenario of either driving illegally or parking illegally.”
12. All about money.
“This is the reason right here. So many laws exist to force you to have to spend money on things.
“What you found a way to live that doesn’t force you to rely on consumerism and capitalism and doing work for you that makes you money that pays me less than I’m worth? To buy goods and services and products I don’t actually need and could find ways to do without paying?
We can’t have that!””
13. One night only.
“There are tons of places in the US where you can, but most only allow you to stay for a night.
Cracker Barrel, Walmart, Home Depot, etc., you just have to check for signs prohibiting overnight stays. I’ve parked my RV overnight in all of those places. Rest stops as well.
In smaller cities without big box stores, simply asking the local police if its OK always worked, especially when I mentioned getting a little too tired to drive.”
How do you feel about this?
Should people be able to sleep in their cars legally and without judgment?

Salvador Dali would hold a key…
Salvador Dali would hold a key or a spoon in his hand with a tin plate on the floor. If he drifted asleep, the key for spoon would fall and hit the plate waking him up. This is how he was able to create his paintings; while staying awake and being in a quasi-dream state […]

People Talk About How They’d Create a New Alarm Clock Called “The Rude Awakening”
Waking up is much more difficult for some people than it is for others.
I’m usually able to pop right up in the morning when my alarm goes off, but my brother? Oh, my poor brother…
That snooze button can be heard blasting for hours on end…and it is not a pretty picture.
But what if there was a new alarm called “The Rude Awakening” that REALLY did the job of waking people up? What would it consist of and how would it work?
Here are the bright ideas that AskReddit users came up with.
1. That should do the trick.
“It pees the bed and then sends out a blast email/text/tweet telling everyone that you peed the bed.”
2. I like this idea!
“It rolls off the base while making that horrific noise Jim Carrey screamed in Dumb and Dumber while in the dog car.
It keeps getting louder and doesn’t stop until you put it back on the base.”
3. Alert! Alert!
“Nuclear alert sound at full volume.
I actually set this as my alarm. For one day. It’s such a violent sound (hence why it’s used) that it scared the sh*t out of me and I never used it again.
Bonus points for combining it with an invention a friend of mine used to have. The alarm clock would shoot off a little fan which would fly some random place in the room and the alarm wouldn’t turn off until you found the piece and put it back.
So that with the nuclear alarm sound.”
4. That’ll get you going.
“It reads a list of everyone that’s died since you fell asleep, their manner of death, and what you could have done to prevent it.
• Ronald Resiman – 89 – Nothing
• Geraldine Brown – 94 – Nothing
• Sammie Johnson – 96 – Coulda found a cure for cancer
• Brad LaMonte – 91 – Nothing”
5. Yes!
“It gives you wrestling legend Rick Rude’s finisher the “Rude Awakening”……
I feel like this was a no brainer.”
6. Sounds terrible.
“Reads the president’s tweets in Gilbert Gottfried’s voice.”
7. It just might work…
“It monitors your sleep cycle, in order to wake you up at the worst possible moment, using loud sirens, strobe lights and violently rocking your bed.
And if you haven’t jumped out of your bed within 3 seconds, random splashes of ice water and electric shocks will be added to the experience.”
8. Oh, no!
“It’s a George Foreman grill that heats up then clamps onto your bare feet.”
9. Terrifying.
“It gently massages a lightly moistened finger into your earhole, while playing the Jaws theme with ramping volume.”
10. A million-dollar idea.
“Goat screaming to the tune of the national anthem of USA.
And then VERY, VERY loud poop/fart noises.”
11. It’ll scare you right out of bed.
“It generates a current of air on your face and says, “I like what you did with your hair.”
You live alone.”
12. What’s happening…?
“It says random things just loud enough to be heard.
“You were right about that mole, look at it again…”
“But what is the cause of that ice-pick headache you keep getting?”
“There are about 100 feet of pressurized water pipes in your walls, and any one of them, if not multiples of them could be leaking and you have no way of knowing, and knowing that insurance will deny a water damage claim if the leak is more than 10 days old.””
13. Puke city.

I’ll call that one the “Sad Sobbing Drunk at 3 am” setting.

Memes for Those of Us Who Have One Love in Life: SLEEPING
I love sleeping.
I love getting into my bed at night to read before I fall asleep, I love mid-day naps on the weekend on the couch.
I just can’t get enough!
Of course, even though I can’t get enough, it doesn’t mean that I actually do get enough because life is pretty darn busy for all of us.
But when I get it, I LOVE IT.
And I think you probably do too if you’re here with us right now.
Let’s all enjoy these funny memes about one of the things that really keeps us going: SLEEP
1. Faster! Faster!
