It's possible to hold objects while sleeping. For example, somebody could sleep while hugging a pillow or hold items while sleepwalking. |

Thomas Edison and Salvador Dali both used the edge of sleep to create things. They would sleep holding something and drop the object as soon as they fell asleep, which woke them up and they would write down/paint what they thought/saw. My question is, What part of the brain turns off to make holding an object impossible while sleeping? |

Great question! Didn't know that Edison did that. Had heard about Dali doing it. Just found this about Edison: |

Good point. Some people have even driven cars while asleep, mostly after having taken Ambien. |

No, that is REM behavior disorder. Restless legs syndrome occurs when there are unpleasant sensations in resting legs that tend to only go away when the legs are moved. |

The body is paralyzed. This is what causes sleep paralysis. I have experienced it three times, and it was terrifying. You don't fall asleep all the way, and suddenly you're fully aware. You can only move your eyes, and you can actually dream/hallucinate. some say they have trouble breathing, and many people have seen strange creatures sitting on their chests. I have heard the laughing, or cheering, of a steadily growing-in-size crowd of people cheering, or laughing, until it became so loud I felt like I would go deaf. |

---o--- my DCs say I'm dreamy.
Was just reading about REM behavior disorder. Sounds pretty bad: |
