Just give me 5 minutes, thats what i always tell myself

I saw a documentary on sleep patterns and I think it's rather interesting. There are a total of 5 cycles in our sleep patterns.

1st- When we lie on bed, it usually takes 5-10 minutes for us to doze off. ( That doesnt appear in my case, i usually take at least half an hour to doze off unless i'm super tired!)
2nd- This is where we are most likely to be disrupted in our sleep. This is actually known as the semi-asleep stage.
3rd and 4th- This is where we fell in deep sleep. That is so true from the accounts of my friends and my sister (:
5th- This is the stage where we started to dream and fantasied.

When we woke up next morning, we might forget about what we dreamt but sometimes Deja Vu will occur and it might seems so surreal to us. How cool is that. And do you know that, everyone of us gone through this 5 stages 5 times every nights which means we needed a sleep of at least 7 and a half hour. I was really surprised when i saw that! I didnt realised that at all!


It's seem never easy for me to get to sleep if i miss the timing my body yearn to rest which is about 11pm. However, most of the time, i will get distracted from drama series or the net. And isnt it kind of early to rest at that timing. But sometimes, i will be obey my body and went to the bedroom as i still have to rest on my lovely bed of mine and await for another half an hour before i could sleep!
