Deviant =TheDeadwillExodus | "There's someone in my head, but it's not me."





My journal may look like crap at the moment cause this interface I'm testing isn't too friendly with copying code from previous journal entries.

Anyway, I'd like to conduct an experiment, and, if you're willing to try it out, comment the results:

Depending on if you're left-handed or right-handed, for one night, sleep on the side you write with.
So, if you're right-handed, sleep on your right side and vice versa.

Once done, the next night, sleep on the opposite side you write with.
So, if you're right-handed, sleep on your left side and vice versa.

By now, you're probably thinking: "Why should I do what this nutjob is asking?"
Well; for one, scholar's have noted that depending on what hand you write with, the opposite side to your brain is your orientation. Right-handed: left brain orientation and vice versa.

Anyway, what I wanted to try and see is: if you sleep on the side you write with, the chemicals within your brain should flow to the opposite side your brain is orientated, thus flowing to the right side.
From my studies in Psychology, there were valid arguments to state that depending on the side you sleep on, the chemicals in your brain flow to that side, resulting in vivid dreams.

I tried it, with some relatively interesting results, dreaming about recent events from the past couple months, and when I slept on my opposite side, I didn't dream anything.

Hey, give it a try, comment with your results, maybe yours are more interesting ;)

How Will I Ever Get out of This Labyrinth?
:iconthedeadwillexodus:
Well, it'll be interesting to see if it makes much of a difference from either sleep.
I know that when I rolled over in my sleep from right to left, I had the complete opposite of what I was dreaming originally o.O
Sleep patterns are interesting to take note of
