Prepare to be enlightened (and maybe even yawn with laughter) with these three fun facts about sleep. Who says the topic of sleep has to be about sleeping on your feet?

  1. Bizarre Dreams: Your Brain Is a Raging Scriptwriter

Have you ever wondered why your dream seems like a collaboration between Salvador Dali and Steven Spielberg? Well, brace yourself! During REM sleep, the phase where the most intense dreams occur, our brain is so active that it's capable of creating completely wacky scenarios. So, the next time you find yourself dancing the samba with a pink penguin on the moon in your dreams, don't blame the pizza you ate before going to sleep, blame your creative brain!

  1. Yawning, this contagious and mysterious phenomenon

Yawning is a mysterious and contagious phenomenon. You've probably experienced the yawning domino effect during a boring meeting. This behavior is also observable in our animal friends. Studies show that dogs can yawn in response to their owners, and even fish can indulge in a good yawn. So, the next time your goldfish seems to be mimicking you, don't be too surprised—it might just be tired of waiting for you to feed it.

  1. Polyphasic sleep: when napping becomes an art of living

Forget about eight hours of sleep straight! Creative minds like Leonardo da Vinci and Thomas Edison were adept at "polyphasic sleep." This technique involves breaking up sleep into several short naps spread throughout the day. The idea is that these short naps provide the necessary dose of recovery, leaving more time for creative pursuits. So, the next time your boss catches you nodding off at your keyboard, tell them you're simply following in the footsteps of great geniuses, and that they'd better provide everyone with a Morphea mattress in the break room, for the sake of team productivity.
