They say that sleeping dogs don't lie. That's true for these ones. They tend to curl themselves up, stick their legs directly into the air, and suspend themselves miraculously over multiple pieces of furniture. Dogs can do some impressive things, like this dog who figured out how to herd a lawn roomba or this dog who learned the dinner criteria.
Maybe it's better to be a heavy sleeper, so you don't hear your parents and friends say damaging crap about you. Maybe it's better to hear it and know what they think?

For those not in the know, sleep paralysis is a pretty common phenomenon that's found all across the globe. You find yourself sort of in between being asleep and being awake, like you're conscious, but you can't move or speak. An episode of sleep paralysis can be accompanied by hallucinations that look like a face or figure, and that's commonly referred to as a demon or a visitor. It's pretty god damn scary. Anyway, this person told their mom and it backfired. People mess up, and sometimes that screw up is in their control. Here's a guy who thought a date was a job interview.

For most people, we have a bed against a wall or two, usually to conserve bedroom space. This Tumblr thread gets into how much of bed placement is actually rooted in fear. Also, it seems like Thomas Jefferson was a weird dude. Tumblr can get down some unique rabbit holes, like the semantics of updog, or these varied Tumblr gems.
They say let sleeping dogs lie, but that might lead to back problems. We've seen dogs do some amazing things, and being able to turn into tired goop on a couch is now one of those things. Some of the physics her makes no sense, but we're here for it. Dogs can get themselves in some precarious situations, like these stuck dogs that need a hand.
This guy decided to watch "American Horror Story" before going to sleep, and ended up waking up so frightened that he jumped out the window. Not only that, but he proceeded to provide proof in his Reddit recap. We hope he's off to a speedy recovery. Sounds like an absolutely terrible situation to find yourself in. Can't imagine what was going through his head when he came to, falling out the window.
Someone on AskReddit asked what kinds of stuff deep sleepers have slept through, and the resulting stories are all kinds of ridiculous. While a deep sleep is nice and restorative, sometimes your livelihood can really benefit from your ability to wake up if there's something dangerous happening around you.
Insomnia absolutely sucks. Even when you set time aside and do all the right things, here come the thoughts again.

Anyway, here are jokes, tweets and thoughts people had about how hard it is to get some quality sleep around here.
The spouses of sleep-talkers know that you can expect them to say absolutely everything and anything. Some funnier, some creepier, and some more outright threatening. Some people even dedicate their social media to all the insane things their spouse says in their sleep.
Remember everyone, sleeping is the time when you're most vulnerable, and literally anything can happen. Not much makes a scary situation scarier than when you're jolted into reality with zero context. It's kind of impossible to prevent stuff like this happening while you're asleep, so just...try not to sleep I guess?
You wake up with this pressing feeling that you've just come up with the most genius thought. Maybe it's an idea for a screenplay or a song, and the only way to get it out of your head is to get it on paper. Then the next morning you find your masterpiece. And it just says "gorilla napkins." Weird thoughts just make perfect sense when you're asleep.Twitter knows.
Laughter is the best medicine, and these folks were in for a shock when they realized not everyone had constant discomfort, unexplained pain, the inability to sleep and uncontrollable sneezing. We are not talking about medical memes, but real life ailments that people got so used to living with, that they forgot normal people don't suffer from the same.
