As this semester of college nears the end, I am becoming more and more sleep deprived.  Or at least I feel like it.  When I have a paper, I write then try to take like a nap for an hour or 2 and then get up and write again.  And then get the paper done in time, and I'm lethargic for the rest of the day. Happens to everyone I'm sure, whether you're in college, have a busy job, whatever.

The best sleep I've ever had though, well it must have been some supernatural phenomenon or something ;P  It was about 8:30 pm and I was laying down and then closed my eyes.  I woke up feeling like I'd had a full night's rest and was thinking oh sh*t! I gotta get that paper done!  Then I looked at the clock- 8:40 pm.  My fiance was sitting up next to me and I was telling him omg that was the longest 10 minutes of my life and I loved it.  He said he had just woke up right before I did and he felt extremely rested as well.
Now I know some people have experienced sleep like that, or just the opposite: a full nights sleep felt like a wink. I thought it was all psychological though.  I keep wondering how in the world that can happen to 2 people in the same place at the same time. 
ANybody know anything about that?

I have heard that if you sleep for only like 20 minutes or so it is supposed to make you more refreshed then sleeping for hours would do.


The best kind of sleep IMO, is whenever my husband lets me sleep in on Saturdays, while he gets up with Vaughn....I LOVE those kinds of days!! :)

Well, since I can't seem to sleep despite my extreme exhaustion, I'll talk to you a bit about this topic, which is a favorite of mine.  Sleep....dreams...love it.  As for your question, it's most likely a simple case of you both being in sync at that moment, relaxed and comfortable together, and drifting off for a brief and lovely bit of joint rest.  It does seems strange when it happens but accept it as a nice example of the little gifts of life.

Personally, I love those moments just before you fall into a deep sleep when you're not really awake, but just conscious enough to enjoy that floaty, drifting feeling.

I think this may be true.  The other day I only got 2 hours sleep, and once I got up and going that morning, I actually felt really good.  However last night I got 7 hours and I've felt groggy all day.

Best sleep I ever had was the day of my college graduation.


After dinner , I just collapsed in bed and slept for like 13 hours straight.  I was so exhausted from studying for a full week for my last finals EVER and I was burnt out.  When I finally woke up, I felt like a 40 ton weight had been lifted off of me.
