Deeper sleep
I am a sucker for slogans. Today, I learned that “if you sleep deeper, you dream bigger”. And I don’t know what to do. How will I ever quantize something of this ilk?
Despite decades of practice, I don’t have a good track record with remembering my dreams. I get little flashes, but “dream bigger”. Not so sure. The ad with the slogan is (I think) a sales pitch for a mattress merchant. Not to be confused with the My Pillow guy, who is confused. I don’t change my bed, often. I have not come away from any hotel saying “that’s my next comfort zone.” Most camping trips, where you get close to the ground, have left me wishing for something softer. Yes, rocks are a deterrent to deep sleep.
I’ve read about REM, but I have no way of knowing if I actually get those soothing brain patterns. And if I come awake every time the dog checks on me, I’m failing at the deep sleep thing. Unlike the dog, who seems to get into deep mode for most of the day. I can’t speak to the night.
Let’s turn the slogan around. If I don’t sleep deeply, does that mean that my dreams are small? Insignificant. By what measure?
The van went to town, where the owner learned that one way to keep those sliding galley drawers in place is to place a towel on top of everything else. OK. I can agree to test the idea. At least I will be able to find a towel in a moment of need. Right there, on top of the forks.
I did spend some time researching home RADAR speed detectors. Not to be confused with the “other” detectors that are subject to seizure, if found in my car.I don’t want to find the police. I just want to know if that low flying object that passed my driveway was doing something illegal. And the market is saturated with equipment to check the speed of a golf swing. Which I don’t need to test. I am pretty sure that my personal speed is hovering around zero.
