Fascinating!

I'm going to celebrate these findings by going back to sleep.

As someone who is an insomniac and has a horrendous time falling asleep, I LOVE THIS.

[ChippyGaming]

I did a Psychology alevel paper today (one of my final exams) and I had to write about Dement and Klietman's study on REM sleep... how crazy!

Fascinating stuff! If you can get me to stop snoring by the end of the week, it could do wonders for my love life.
