sleep study

so last night i recorded myself sleep. basically i wanted to see what sounds i make whilst im sleeping. and the results were pretty interesting to say the least. at first i thought that i didnt pick up anything but i did. i recorded myself for four hours, woke up in the middle of the night and then went back to sleep without recording anything else. around the two hour mark i started snoring and i dont really know how to describe it. but it was pretty cool. i cant even imagine making those sounds whilst im conscious. like how does the human body even do that? its amazing. when i got told that i snore i thought it was embarrassing at first but this raised my self esteem a lot. should i do this again?

    it definitely is an interesting topic to think about, how there is almost a whole other part of us that we don't ever see because we are asleep. if it is something you are interested in then go for it in terms of doing it again. It could be interesting to see if there are any patterns that appear most nights, as well as potential differences.

    I might even be tempted to give it a go myself, if i remember to do it before I fall asleep.

    If you do try it again let us know how it goes (if you want to that is) :3

    @toffuna101 it sounds so positive that getting a better understanding of what's happening when you're sleeping helped to raise your self-esteem and boost your confidence! Sounds like you're feeling quite a lot of admiration right now for what your body can do!

    How did you feel after listening back to last night's recordings?
