Rapid eye movement sleep (REM sleep) is a normal stage of sleep characterized by the random movement of the eyes. REM sleep is classified into two categories: tonic and phasic.[1] It was identified and defined by Nathaniel Kleitman and Eugene Aserinsky in the early 1950s. Criteria for REM sleep includes rapid eye movement, but also low muscle tone and a rapid, low-voltage EEG; these features are easily discernible in a polysomnogram, the sleep study typically done for patients with suspected sleep disorders.
REM sleep in adult humans typically occupies 20–25% of total sleep,
about 90–120 minutes of a night's sleep. During a normal night of sleep,
humans usually experience about four or five periods of REM sleep; they
are quite short at the beginning of the night and longer toward the
end. Many animals and some people tend to wake, or experience a period
of very light sleep, for a short time immediately after a bout of REM.
The relative amount of REM sleep varies considerably with age. A newborn
baby spends more than 80% of total sleep time in REM.[2] During REM, the activity of the brain's neurons is quite similar to that during waking hours; for this reason, the REM-sleep stage may be called paradoxical sleep.[3]REM sleep is physiologically different from the other phases of sleep, which are collectively referred to as non-REM sleep (NREM sleep). Vividly recalled dreams mostly occur during REM sleep.

Well as Saturday dawns after a long week and a nice glass of sweet red wine with friends, i feel like spending some time here, in my favorite personal " diary ".
I find it difficult the last few days to come out of bed ( more than any other time ..... guess must be the overdose of cuddles with my dog along with my bedsheets or something ..... ) . I also caught my self having continuous and extended REM phases during my sleep hours, which is rather unusual if you consider that i sleep like a pig ! It must be the whole mess in my head ( ho ho ho tell us something new hah! in combination with the lot of thinking i have done lately ) . Well this is embarrassing!!!!!! Can not allow that to come over my life! So i decide to let off stream and give all my energy to more creative things.
And yes yes am proud to announce the new members joining " Shorty's Gang " . You see when you are having lot of REM phases, you can also be creative even in your sleep, brilliant!!!!!

Yes yes am referring to my favorite REM ( band ) which unexpectedly announced two days ago the end of their era.... and cause pain to a lot of us. Guys just because you are losing your religion does not mean that we have to lose ours to you!!!!! Come on give us a break, have mercy! One after another these great classic, original rock star bands end and leave us spending our times listening to every disc we have in the house unstoppably!!!! I think that i made a serious decision and i will state it out loud : i will try to go to any live concert i can during the next few years, so not to have any regrets on not seeing people that i love, after that kind of sudden announcements of ending ( or because they have died ... ), like it happened not just with REM but with lot more ( lets not forget that Mr MJ, THE KING ( also known as Michael Jackson ) died just before the live of my life...... ( that was a major shock and i rather not speak about that, still hurts a lot, not getting over it, don't even know if i ever will! ) Come on peopleeeeeeee!!!!!!
So yes i am gonna celebrate with music along with my Shorties, cause after all music brings people together! Even if they are far away, maybe in another country still by listening to a song can bring memories back and give us the chance to relive the moments we had with them and looking forward for the next to come. Among everything else that i mention tonight i will like to say bon voyage to two of my precious friends, that i farewell just an hour ago. Enjoy your new lives and always keep me a place for visiting! Love you both!
Enough, time for my REM sleep ( not!!!!!!!!!!! let me sleep like a pig for a change hah? )
p.s As i promised this one wasn't either that long or too philosophical. Lighters will arrive soon. Be kind to me, i am having my REM phases now, my brain is in between sleep and awake all day long i dare to say ha ha ha ha ha!
Love,
Shorty
