iTwitch.

I twitch. Everytime I drift into slumber, my body makes an alarming jerking movement. Here is something I just read about it:

Sleep starts
One moment you’re drifting off to la-la land, and the next instant—whoa!—you’re dropping off a cliff. Sleep experts believe the brain sometimes gets the wrong message from the body during the transition into sleep, and associates the lack of muscle tension with being in midair. Arms and legs then jerk suddenly as they would to break a fall. Not yet realizing the body is simply at rest, the brain also instantaneously conjures a story to account for the sudden jump, and that’s why we picture ourselves falling, slipping or missing a stair.



I'm not sure if I'll have time to blog about this weekend just yet, but brace yourself. My life is completely amazing right now. I'm having so much fun. Stay tuned.
