Default sleep is weird

all these hours of unconsciousness that define 1/3 of our lives

i mean that's kind of a big deal and a lot of time. it's like a short death every night.

do any of you get scared of sleep, like not that you won't wake up but just afraid of losing control or something?

I'm sure there's some joke Jerry Seinfeld does about craving to be asleep in the morning and craving to be awake at night.

tonight i dreamed that i live underwater, and when i need to go up to the surface i have to find an eel that's jet black with metallic color strips like pink or green, then summon it and have it whir around my arm. then at once i rise.
also, my mom served me purple potatoes.

I used to find sleep boring but now I love it, when I am able to sleep. I have some seriously bad insomnia..

crucial tool for passive avoidance of unwanted duties. when i'm asleep i have left this world and no sound, contact, or other stimulus has any guarantee of bringing me back.

sleep kind of sucks
i have frequent mini-seizures as i'm about to fall asleep and they almost always result in my biting my tongue and it can be bad enough that i end up bleeding everywhere. my tongue is completely torn up and deformed because of this
its easiest to fall asleep on my back but then i end up getting sleep paralysis
which is sometimes kind of fun since once i know that's whats going on i just relax but the intial jolt of waking up and hallucinating snarling dogs inches from my face while i can't move isn't really entertaining
i mean sleep is great when that stuff isn't happening but it happens enough

I look forward to sleeping because I know there's a slight chance I may not wake up.

sean I get sleep paralysis too. I used to have it several times a night, now it's more like 1-2 times a week. sucks.

mini-seizures sound worse though. do you know why this happens?
