Ah sleep
-
My son feels his dreams hard in the morning, but can't ever remember them. He woke up bawling the other day, but couldn't explain why (and he loves explaining things).
@89th - I'm finally on the in bed at 10 train.... took me couple of decades to get there. I still feel like I'm shortening my day even though I get up earlier. What clicked for me associating reading fiction (which I love to do, but rarely have time for) with getting in bed at 10 - I can read for as long as I want if I can get in bed at 10.... I never make it more than 10 mins though...

Well you have a fiancée, so I'd imagine there's less sleep.
Last night started well. In bed at 10, asleep at 10:17, but then my kid woke up at 10:45 so it wasn't until 11:45 that I made it back to sleep. Still, more sleep than if I had just waited until midnight!

I never looked at my sleep history with my watch.
Interesting.
I don't know how it calculates the average time in bed, but that's absolutely wrong. No way I'm in bed from 9 to 9. Unless, it's counting the hour and a half to two hours that my watch is sitting in the charger.

Do you sit in a recliner to watch tv? It may be (mis)counting that
Nope. But I do lie down, iPad on tummy, when I watch a movie or a tv series. That might be it.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

@Aqua-Letifer That is interesting. Why is it (at least for me), that dreams, even if they are so vivid, are quickly forgotten? I will wake up from a dream and, wow!, it is super detailed, etc. but only 10 minutes later, I have trouble remembering it.

I experimented with lucid dreaming for some time for which I wrote down my dreams as soon as I woke up. Even a few keywords can help to easily recall dreams in detail. It‘s as if the process of writing down a dream signals your brain that it’s important to remember it.
Then again, there are a few dreams (mostly nightmares) I had as a child that I still remember. The brain is a strange thing.

Funny, I’m starting to hit the point that I feel better with less sleep.

Yeah most likely. I check my watch each morning to see how the sleep went. It is smart to know pretty accurately when you are "in bed" and when you are asleep. About 98% accurate I find, although I don't really look at the "time in bed" metric as much as the "time asleep".

In the woods, just like the bear.
I frequently dream about current and past pets.
That sounds pretty great.
This is the most recent entry from my journal. I have absolutely no memory either of the dream, or of writing this:
I worked for a female dentist from Jamaica NY who was lazy seldom there and treated everyone poorly.
. Maggie and Boris were with us (impossible, because we didn't have cats when we had the Cheddarshack
