Thread: Everyone Read: Forming a Dreamer Profile

18 men to 2 girls so far.

How come we're so outnumbered?

If you do any stats on this data, looks like you're going to have to take into account male and female forum participation.

Biologists do a lot of stats and I'm currently being trained in several techniques . Some practice will do me good, so let me know if you want help.

lol, I spelled it right...................I think?


interesting stuff here,

I see someone else on this board listens to Shpongle.....nice 8) .

Shouldn't everyone tell more about how and where they sleep? like this:

Type/size of bed: Small one-person bed... it's a piece of crap but still quite comfy
Main color of room: Blue!
Temperature: varies from 15 C to 25 C depending on winter/summer and window open/closed. I like to have my window open if it doesn't freeze up the place.
Noise level: I have modded a PC fan on a table next to my bed. It's always turned on and makes a white noise. By adjusting voltage I can adjust the speed of the fan.
Sheets/blankets: Two blankets, one is quite thin and the other is medium-thick. I either use the medium-thick one or both. Cotton-sheets.
What I do before going to bed: I shower, brush my teeth, take multivitamins and sometimes B6. I also use the computer. I have the window open to cool down the room so it's really comfy between my warm sheets.
