Work Area for SP sticky thread.

[Sivason]

Zoth00, me and sageous (he PMd me on it) completely agree with you that this should be kept simple. My first attempt at finding a middle ground was to provide the data Nina wanted, but using a small text size. This is to show that you can skip the science stuff if it is not interesting to you. I probably will break the intro into two posts, the first being very very simple, it would end roughly where I put large bold print in. The second containing the rest. At this point I will likely not make any large revisions to the text, but I want to invite you to be one of the contributors. I am only at 4 opinions so far. You seem well spoken and clear, so you can be one of the 'opinions,' if you want. I will compile the first go at this thread today, and sticky it in the DVA for the moment. Then, after seeking the opinions of any active staff that cares,, it will be stickied in the WILD section, if deemed suitable. Thanks again zoth00. Also, thanks for the confermation on movement in REM. I was sure Gab, me and Sageous were correct, as I have first hand experience, but getting doubters to believe us is much easier with data, like you provided. It can be much more movement than forearm twitching too. Gab moved one arm up to her chest and then the other. I have been able to slowly reach out and hit the snooze button, or shift positions if I get a cramp. Movement like that has a risk of waking me, but I feel it is a skill that improves with time. We are talking slow gentlle volentary movements, but clearly we are not unable to move. If I do not care about waking myself I can move at will, like the DJ link where I sit up in bed to test REM atonia.

Zoth00, me and sageous (he PMd me on it) completely agree with you that this should be kept simple. I very much agree, that first paragraphs should be kept very simple, with text continuing into more scientific explanation, for those interested. I think, that 14yr olds need to hear that they don't need SP to LD and that common HH are not SP.

I will compose a first draft of the thread today in thhe DG section, and have MelanieB proof it and adjust it as needed. We also must think about our many members with limited English skills. Zoth00, if you want to contribute an opinion, please PM it to me and it can be added to the thread. Thanks.

One post from each contributor will be moved from this thread, so I cann paste their opinions into a post that is from them. This will allow people later to read the profile of each person, if they wish.
