On: The Purpose of Sleep? To Forget, Scientists Say

[reitanqild]

I went through a 3 week period of sleeping no more than an hour a night, if at all.

Can you explain why this happened? Off the top of my head it is either military or having a child, but I have a feeling there might possibly be an even more interesting explanation.

I was stationed shard ship for a time. Returning to the mainland, I just couldn't sleep.

While aboard, with the general him and rocking, I slept very well. It never happened again after subsequent returns from ship.

Could also be a manic episode.

Didn't think of that. Hope my original question didn't come off as rude, I'm just seriously interested how this is possible since I have trouble just pulling a single all-nighter :-|
