I'm at the opposite end. I dream every time I sleep, even if it's a 10-minute nap. Could be undiagnosed narcolepsy in my case, but it doesn't bother me enough to get it checked out.
When you say "nothing happens", I'm not even sure what you mean. Do you just fall asleep and wake up hours later with no sense of time passing?
- Spivak 2y agoI can answer this one, you are aware of time passing and if you've trained yourself with an alarm you can still wake on cue. But there's just nothing in between, higher order thought just turns off.
- smithcoin 2y agoI don’t really know how to describe it. I guess I have no sense of how long I was asleep until I see how dark it is (which is my immediate reaction when waking up) then I usually I have a decent guess. Although there are times I wake up and I have no idea if it’s 2 or 6 am. Are you able to more accurately guess the time when you wake up based on the contents of your dreams? The rare occurrences when I dream if it’s over “10 minutes” there’s no difference in my perception if it’s that or hours.
- kranner 2y agoNo I can't estimate the time according to dream content at all. It could seem like hours in a dream even if I’ve only been asleep half an hour.
