Ben Lipkowitz tracks his sleep over the course of a month. Apparently there’s a new trend of obsessively quantifying one’s own life. Think its especially selfish? Comment here, and/or read more at bit.ly/aPiucm thanks to Fast Company.
Maybe this dude is a bit too colorful? Either way, he speaks the truth: dreams are crazy. Watch for 5 crazy facts about dreamland.
Talk in your sleep? Adam does, and he says some pretty f*cked up things. Read all those nighttime murmurings on Sleep Talkin’ Man, a blog Adam’s wife started.
