It is Management Information Systems... basically the implementation of technology in business. :D Sounds boring, I know. I am barely starting to take my core classes... I hope I like it.. :shock: I changed it from Finance.

Ummm.... I feel dumb asking if you are not in college. but what's yours? :)

You forgot the "freaked out and scared part".. LOL :lol: :wink: I researched on it alot as well. Very interesting stuff. I shared it with all my family who has never experienced it. All they told me was to get some sleep! :roll:
My family told me the same thing. They didn't get that it's not really a 'sleep' issue. It's a weird brain thing.

I know!!?! :roll: It's hard to explain it to someone without them questioning your sanity. :lol:

Mid 20s... mine started this year.. I'm 18.. I read it usually starts in late teens/early adulthood... guess it's true. :)

That sounds like my dream a few weeks ago but luckily it's isolate. It's only happened twice in the past year......but it's one of the weirdest sensations. I tried to explain it to my husband (who can fall asleep in 2 seconds flat) and he just looked confused.

Have you ever attempted to take control of it?
The best way to control it seems to be by taking a nap sometime during the day or early evening. It allows your brain to get the rest it needs - especially if you sleep in short spurts anyway.
Unfortunately, a nap is not always possible. In my case almost never possible.

I graduated years ago.....1998 with a teaching degree and figured out within 2 years that I don't like kids if they aren't mine. I taught middle school math.....they are evil. :evil:

I wasn't always this way with sleep......it got worse after I had kids and more stress.......how about you guys?

I'll graduate in a year and a half. :) Hopefully, I won't hate my job. :lol:

The sleep thing got worst in college with all the stress and sleepless nights. :(

My sisters are teachers---one elementary and the other high school. I can't believe they put up with it. I wouldn't last one day as a teacher. Tough job as you must know... MIDDLE SCHOOL...the worst!?! :shock:

I don't remember any particularly stressful triggering event. My head always seems to have a million simutaneous thoughts though. My friends and partners make fun of me for it. Explains why I can be online til 4am and still get up early for business, I guess.

That's why you're a moderator, right? :wink:

Are you married? If so, your wife must think it's really weird......
