I personally think our brain works wonders, I have always known that our brain doesn’t sleep; however we dream everyday some we may forget as we wake, and others we remember. I was always told the dreams we remember should be used as guides to help us in our waking lives; however I also know that sleeping with a TV or a radio on can indeed influence our dreams. Your brain is working 24/7 to help you remember important details. Imagine if your brain was asleep, you wouldn’t remember anything, not even your name. Our brain is amazing.

Thanks for letting us know fully what happens in our brain while we are sleeping. Now I do understand why I am a very positive person. The fact is that when things go wrong and I have lots of problems or things to solve, I just feel really sleepy and have no desire to do anything but sleep. I used to call it my running away from responsibilities, but I get it now and it is my reloading by recovering forgotten skills, remembering the sequence of events, selectively preserving emotional memories to solve the issues I face. Then, I used to wake up less stressed, not sad nor really worried any more. I used to find solutions quickly and not only one but many.

You may feel like you are making up for missed sleep the there is are physiological and neurological effects associated with hormone levels and brain function that are cumulative. Our internal clock and hormone levels are set to respond to sunlight hitting our pineal gland via our eyes. Artificial light and unnatural sleeping patterns throw this rhythm out of sync.

I usually stay up from like 17-22 hours a day and usually sleep 3-6 hrs or usually Nap when most people Sleep and Sleep when most people Nap.. but sometimes I sleep like 10-12 hours on weekends and with these information overload days.. I have a weird sleep “pattern” and pretty much an insomniac.

They say we can’t make up for sleep but how come I usually sleep almost exactly as long as the amount of sleep I missed. In this Information Overload world we live in today, I think it helps my brain be more active and remember more stuff or sometimes one thing might remind me of something else to remember, but even if I forget a lot, I still know a lot more than the people of 100 years ago.

Also Google is great to learn new things but a lot of the time we just RELY on it to find answers. Albert Einstein suggest we humans should sleep 10 hours a day, he was a genius but apparently he had a special brain that made him that a genius.
