...I am reading a book about sleep at the moment, I am pleased to read about a condition that I am sure we all suffer from (dont we Sarah?).

People who play a lot of computer games sometimes experience 'screen dreams' as they fall asleep, in which they see vivid images of the game they have been playing ... The computer game Tetris, which requires the player to fit together coloured shapes as they cascade down the screen is well known for provoking hypnagogic [half waking/half sleeping] dreams...

Then the book goes on to describe an experiement run by Harvard Medical school where they got subjects to play Tetris all day to see what happened to their dreams at night!

Glad to see that modern scientists are studying the things that really matter to us.
