Sometimes I'm tired enough to want to sleep early, but I'll inevitably wake in the middle of the night as a result.<BR/><BR/>I'm not certain about the man who invented the scissors, but I remember a similar story about the man who invented the modern sewing machine needle... he dreamt of being chased by faceless warriors with holes at the base of their spears one night, and therefore designed the "eyes" of his needles in a similar fashion. I'm not sure if it's true, though.<BR/><BR/>I'm pretty certain that I was conscious while writing this... although I was also more than a little sleepy. I do talk in my sleep, though, and my siblings tell me that it sounds as though I'm spouting off some random plots.Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03300224368246428017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8307761.post-34738904920770135222007-08-16T09:02:00.000+08:002007-08-16T09:02:00.000+08:00How come you can't sleep, even when you're tired? ...How come you can't sleep, even when you're tired? /:)<BR/>I once read that the man who invented the scissors dreamt about something that looked like scissors, and invented them scissors in the middle of the night. I'm not sure if this is true, but you never know. :P<BR/>(I also heard that the vocalist of Maroon 5 keeps a notepad and pen beside his bed and writes down lyrics before he sleeps.)<BR/>I keep a notebook and pen under my pillow, and once, I woke up and saw said notebook and pen on my desk. I don't remember putting them there, and when I opened my notebook, I'd written something, too (one sentence gibberish (or half a sentence, because my handwriting was so fuzzy towards the end, I couldn't read it)). My sister said I was sleepwriting.
