Annoying Wrinkly Grey Organ

Dear blood-cooler,

If you're going to squirt out whatever hormone it is that keeps our muscles from moving when we dream we're moving, it doesn't really do any of us any good unless you actually fall asleep instead of a) lying there thinking thinky thoughts and not feeling rested and b) being quite annoyingly aware that our damned nose itches!

Hmph.

-- the rest of the body

P.S.: What's up with this bit where the online resources say the effect usually only lasts a few seconds and just feels like longer, but a clock within view and the number of buses I hear going by both tell me that it really was more like twenty five minutes?

Dunno, but that happens to me as well sometimes.

This used to happen to me frighteningly often when I was a kid. It still happens now, just not as often. With me though, I am conscious, but I can't move anything, not even my eyelids. I had a psychology professor tell me about 10 years ago that it is a rare form of narcolepsy.

IME, there are objective measurements that prove (not hint, not suggest, not indicate, well, yes indicate sensu stricto but not in the broader sense of indicate), but prove that it can happen far longer than a "few" seconds. Like, yes ont he order of a half hour.

I have had that happen to me, too, mostly while I was in grad school and pulling about one all-nighter a week and then going and either working in Sian's shop on the weekends or else on the road with her to merch at SCA events.

Dude. That's bad.
