Deep sleep and weird dreams

TheCatWoman

Now it's cooler at night I'm sleeping really deeply and having some bizarre dreams, even by my standards! The other night my cat Boris and I wandered all over Istanbul!

However I'm still waking up feeling tired and I'm wondering if it's because I'm catching up with proper sleep after being deprived of it since about May, or if I'm exhausted because of the intense dreaming?

    More likely both perhaps - what with the lack of sleep resulting in a greater processing requirement, as   also stated.

    Another perspective is possibly that in remaining awake more than sleeping ~ you might have learnt as it were to be more aware or lucid during sleep ~ and having therefore deeper dreams with greater experiential clarity.
