If you slept more than 90 minutes then you did dream, FACT. You just don't remember it.

REM sleep, jetlag, and HI
Here's a question: If you are really, really tired, do you get less REM sleep? I'm asking this because i have jetlag after my flight back from america. On the way home from London on the coach, i kept nodding off, and the thing i noticed most (in spite of feeling rather out of it) was that i was slipping into HI far more readily than i would normally. Not only that, i was still conscious of my surroundings.
So, does being more tired automatically make for more intense HI, and less REM sleep?
I know i slept so deep last night that i didn't dream a thing.
Probably something to do with the fact that i hadn't slept in 24 hours.'all of the moments that already passed/
try to go back and make them last.'

oh, right. t was just that i read somewhere that if you are really tired, you get less REM sleep, and more extended periods of deeper sleep. Apparently the different stages of sleep aren't always the same length, it depends on how tired you are.
Example. I slept twelve hours last night, but i do remember dreaming.
which kinda means i've just contradicted myself...'all of the moments that already passed/
try to go back and make them last.'

when im that tired i dont remember anything either. its almost as if my consious mind has had so much to think about in the day, that it wont add to it by letting me remember my dreams or control them in anyway.

Also i read somewhere that if you are that exhausted, the brain is more likely to spend more time on the deeper stages of sleep, which are used for repairing and refreshing the body...rather than the stages that involve dreaming...which might explain why i slept for twelve odd hours last night, and only remembered one dream very vaguely!
