Am I crazy?

Another post? I must be crazy.

Actually it's been several hours since I slept. I'm feeling a little mad, to be honest.

No one really knows why we need sleep. In a Physiology class, we learnt about sleep one fine day (one of the very few classes I actually stayed awake in, ironically). [Well, I don't know about "learnt" or not, but we were "taught" anyway.]

When we're awake, our brain has a certain electrical pattern. How about when we're asleep? Specifically, when we dream? It's the same pattern.

So does that mean, when *we're* asleep our brain is still awake? Yes.

Why? Who knows.

Well then if our brain is still awake when we're asleep, why do we need sleep? I have no idea. But I know first hand, if I stay awake more than 48 hrs, I go nuts.

Some things, we never find out, probably because we're not meant to. Maybe the exact electrical relevance of sleep is *supposed* to be a mystery. But I'm sure glad I enjoy my sleep!

I'm Blogging Too!

Another moron bites the dust... so I've been bitten by the blog bug too. Time to start "sharing" my meaningless experiences with people I barely know.

Enough tacky half-baked overused expressions. Time to get down to business.

I'm still a student (and a pretty bad student, you can tell, since I have too much time on my hands); I like to watch a lot of movies. You'd find me using a lot of expressions I heard in movies I watched or just watched. (Usually "just watched". I have a gift, of forgetting things after 48 hrs.)

"The thing with the guy in the place" is from Ocean's Eleven (I think). I forgot most of it, so it kinda sucks in the blog title. Maybe I'll change it in future.

Or maybe not.

Your comments are welcome. Even if you're the only one who'll read them again! LOL!!

See ya around.
