And it's always before a big day the next day. Seems like they want us to be sleep-deprived, to see how the brain can function under such circumstances. maybe what they're after is to measure our resiliency. It's well-known that we don't function very well (in general) when sleep deprived. Research has shown that the sleep is cumulative over a period of days. So, if you are getting 4 hours per night for a week, it's not the same as getting 4 hours after a series of restful nights. What they do with me is have me get like an hour of "sleep" without any REM or very little REM at all. Maybe they want to study how we function with a dreamless sleep, i.e. stage 4 without REM.<br /><br />Those REM-less nights of like an hour or so at a time happen after a couple of nights of very restful, normal sleep.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26452764.post-40935216529940814212009-07-09T23:28:37.920-07:002009-07-09T23:28:37.920-07:00The "brain de-energization" is very fami...The "brain de-energization" is very familiar to my situation as well. That's the "blast of negative energy" I feel sometimes, which causes a temporary dulling of my consciousness, but it's not nearly enough to make me faint. They seem to do that when I'm witnessing certain harassment skits.<br />Not sure why that is... maybe they want the full effect of the skit, yet they only want me to remember vague details of the skit, so I can't blog about it. Or maybe the combination of the de-energization "blast" and the skit are supposed to add up a certain way.<br /><br />In reality, the "skit" I experienced the last time was some young hottie wearing shorts walking past me with a snooty, nose in the air attitude. When she got to the mailbox at the post office, she just stopped there and looked back at me, in a "pause".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
