[QUOTE=Crit-Sandvich;17578550]That article is wrong. I've microslept while driving plenty of times and the amount of people I've ran over doesn't total as "dangerous."[/QUOTE]

The article isn't wrong, you just got lucky. Spare someone a long, agonising time in hospital (or death); the next time you start nodding off while driving, pull over somewhere and sleep. It's like seatbelts, the only thing it'll do is save you (or someone else), it's not going to hinder you in anyway.
[QUOTE=ihatecompvir;17578229]Happened once. I blinked and suddenly it was morning. I was like 6 and it was on Christmas eve. I got lucky.[/QUOTE]
OMG! Same exact for me!

I'm about to try this for real.[/QUOTE]Is there anything like this but with a nice womans voice? I think that'd be better for me hearing the soft words of a woman. :3
Man, fast sleep is awesome.

This. Right now.
I've done that before.
I think I have this when my alarm goes off, I hit snooze and want to get up... Though I blink and SHIT there goes 20 minutes. Pisses me off because I have to time my morning just right or something goes wrong. One person taking a shit can make me late for school :|
Seriously I'd really like to have a soft woman voice talk me to sleep tonight. :(
I keep reading the title as "Fart Sleeping".

Holy shit I was actually falling asleep listening to it.
I shall try that going to bed tonight.
Happened to me once.
It was kind of like a blink.
I closed my eyes for a second and then it was already the next morning.
wat! this happens to me regularly, about 1/3 of mah sleeps. It is not amazing
This happened to me once when i was four.
i thought i had time traveling powers and told kids at daycare i am a time traveler
Happened to me a few times! :iia:
On a 800km car trip, which was convenient, and two times, when I underwent surgery. You do not take a fraction of a second to wake up, however.
It occurs quite frequently with very short periods of time, though -- 5, 10 minutes.
I never dream so it usually feels like fast sleeping although it takes me 4 hours to actually get off to sleep.
Happened to me when flying to Europe this year. When I got on the plane in Hong Kong, they had to delay departure for an hour because they needed to remove a passenger and her luggage from the plane (Swine flu, or some shit). Anyway, in the mean time, I fell asleep and slept completely through take-off, as well as the woman next to me bumping me on the shoulder to wake me whenever food came around.
When I woke up, the screen in front of me said we'd be landing in 3 hours. It was a 12 hour flight, and I honestly felt as though I just drifted off for a second.

Actually, this happened to one of my friends once, so he pulled over and napped, and ended up getting mugged and beat up.

Everyone dreams, it just happens that some people's dream recall is much poorer than others.
You are really missing out.
Do what it says [url=http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Lucid_Dreaming/Dream_Recall]here[/url] for about a week, then you'll start remembering them every night.

I'd take being mugged and beaten up over being dead.
Also if you intend to stay in your car and you're in a shitty area lock your doors and keep your keys in the ignition.
Happened to me once or twice. Freaked the fuck out of me because when I asked my mom "Have you ever woken up randomly" and she answered no I was just dreaming being awake. I was like WAT for a few weeks and had forgotten about it until just now.
This has happened to me twice when I was young... like 7-9 or so, I don't remember my exact age.
I was in my bed in my room, and my dad was saying something, and then I blinked (literally, I blinked that was it, I thought I had just blinked) and then my dad said, "Time to get up." And I was like stop messing around dad, leave me alone so I can go to sleep. And he was like no really.
I was pissed because it didn't really feel like I had gotten any sleep, but I wasn't tired the whole day so I guess it worked pretty well. Really really trippy.

I can't believe I got 5 dumb ratings for this.
You people are FUCKING RETARDED. I'm sorry, but you honestly think that pulling over and resting for a while when you're nodding off for between about 3 and 14 seconds is 'dumb'? 3 seconds is PLENTY OF TIME for things to go wrong when you consider that the difference between reaction time (which is generally measured in fractions of a second) is enough to avoid death in a bad situation on the road.
I did that this morning I think, I do it a lot of mornings, press snooze on the alarm and after what seems like a second wake up half an hour later. Todays been extra trippy, had a really wierd dream that's relating to something I've seen today, and had major de ja vu :tinfoil:

I'm pretty sure you were rated dumb because he was joking, hence the funny ratings
Happened to me once when I was at my dad's workplace. I was just looking out the window thinking and once I get up my dad says "Oh you woke up.". The weird thing is that I didn't recall blinking at that point and I "woke up" with my eyes open.
Nope when ever i get tired i pull over and have a nap :P
[QUOTE=dudder;17578617]I read the title as "Fart Sleeping"[/QUOTE]
no one cares
I used to do this all the time.
[QUOTE=strayebyrd;17581063]I'm pretty sure you were rated dumb because he was joking, hence the funny ratings[/QUOTE]
Oh, I read it more as, "I've not ran anyone over, thus it's not dangerous."
Guess the tone of voice (or text as it were) didn't convey very well.
Whats weird is when I WANT to stay up, I fall asleep.
