I am never really sure what happens when I sleeping .  Afterall it is a state of unconciousness.  Of course we dream and our brains have periods of activity during sleep.

This has been proven over the years through numerous studies about sleeping.  Most people know,  a lack sleep can lead to ill effects like bad temper , hallucinations and so on.

What exactly are dreams and why do we sleep is not yet solved.

Sleep is critical, but what is it?  Todays post is triggered by the fact I woke up this morning with a “to do” list in mind.  This is not unique and does occur from time to time.

I Wonder

Why did my particular events or stored memories, feelings or ideas at this point in time trigger analysis, decisions and determination of actions  which I ultimately woke up with top of mind.

On any particular evening I go to sleep with things on my mind.  Only occassional do I wake up with them thought through ( unconciously) with the solutions present at the forefront of  my thoughts.

Sleeping on it

In essence some things benefit from “sleeping on it” and some do not.  The frustrating part is I seem unable to select those challenges, problems and issues that would benefit from silent unconcious analysis and those that remain unsolved.

Somehow my unconcious brain is making these selections.  It really is nice to wake with the problem gone and the solution at hand.  Unfortunately though, as I noted, it’s not always the most troubling problem that gets solved in this way

Too Bad!

Oh to be able to choose which things to magically solve while blissfully unconcious and those which unfortunately keep you awake.
