When I go to bed at night I prepare myself for the equivalent of a three feature movie. My dreams are that clear, that long and usually entertaining. They average about three main themes per night. I can understand why I wake up just as tired as when I went to bed. That is a lot of work doing all that stuff all night long. I can't imagine being "unconscious" for 7 or 8 hours. I kind of hope I'm getting smarter and wiser after such a full 24 hours every day. But I'm not yet convinced of it.
