Fighting with yourself

Do you ever wonder what your brain and body may be doing when you’re sleeping?  Most of us enjoy the comforting feeling that we’re in our safe zone when actually we’re at our most vulnerable.  Paranoid yet?  Well, when your sleep patterns are regularly messed with you certainly can start to feel like a transformed creature.  Creep yourself out with this idea while reading Chuck Paluhniak’s novel Fight Club.  He writes:

…If I could wake up in a different place, at a different time, could I wake up as a different person?

…You wake up, and you’re nowhere. 

One minute was enough, Tyler said, a person had to work hard for it, but a minute of perfection was worth the effort.  A moment was the most you could ever expect from perfection.

You wake up, and that’s enough…

During my recent trip to Iceland, I experienced days with no nights.  It’s midnight, and your brain believes it’s midday…try telling it otherwise as bright sunlight keeps your pupils from dilating. Let’s just stay up all night, shall we?
