Consciousness is often said to disappear in deep, dreamless sleep. We argue that this assumption is oversimplified. Unless dreamless sleep is defined as unconscious from the outset there are good empirical and theoretical reasons for saying that a range of different types of sleep experience, some of which are distinct from dreaming, can occur in all stages of sleep.

When people ask me what happens when you die, I say:

"Remember what it was like before you were born? Well it's a lot like that."

Me: Sleep, how I loathe those little slices of death.

Also me: watches 2 hours of unnarrated sleeper train travel videos on YouTube

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
