A study suggests: Sleeping in Is Slowly Killing You

And speaking of sleep.. 

Think about these two opinions:
Why you should get 8 hours of sleep.
OR
Why you may only need 7 hours of sleep.
OR
Maybe 6.5 hours..
OR
5..

I’m tired.

A study suggests: Sleeping in Is Slowly Killing You

The night owl survives..

New research says sleeping MORE than 8 hours a day increases a stroke risk..  I should be fine. I’m lucky if I get four hours a night..

The sleep that defies sleep.. some 'weird' patterns emerge in Brazil, unless it's a hoax or mass hysteria..

Reports of a strange sleep epidemic in Brazil: The complaints relate symptoms such as weakness, malaise, fainting, partial memory loss, and in the worst cases, even hallucinations. All victims, simply, begin to feel an irresistible desire to sleep - and then, they just want to sleep.. 

This was the most bizarre quote from the report on the Brazil sleep disorders:

“Hope Yakimova, residing in the village said: People are falling sleeping suddenly, anywhere. Sometimes, some of them, in the same moment, near one of other, standing or sitting. "

It sounds like a creepy scene from a Stephen King book.. I agree with the DISINFO report, this could be mass hysteria..

A nightmare on my street

I rarely remember my dreams.. but last night’s was quite visual, and very memorable. The scenery was abundant.. the feelings I had during the dream was palpable. But looking back on it, I don’t quite why the night vision had such a foreboding threat of doom associated with it, but it surely did.

The premise was quite simple, actually.

I was driving —I think with my wife but, as dreams go, I can’t remember for sure—and we were in a mountain setting. It was dry and arid, looking like a drought-plagued dust bowl. The interesting thing, though, is that I recalled being there before. And it was not a good place.. 

As the dream went on, the discussion came up: What would be scarier: 1) If we see a house in the middle of this no-man’s land, or 2) if we saw a single person walking alone in the distance across the barren landscape.. We concluded that either would be alarming and would cause unease within the mind.. 

But why?

I mean, yes dreams sometimes take on a life of their own..

Looking back on it now, neither instance—a house or a lone man—really is scary in itself. But for some reason, that dream I had last night was actually a nightmare.. And I cannot figure out why looking back on it now..
