Did you know?

  • One third of our life is spent sleeping
  • In your lifetime, you will spend around 6 years of it dreaming. That is more than 2,100 days.
  • Napoleon, Florence Nightingale and Margaret Thatcher got by on four hours a night
  • The current world record for the longest period without sleep is 11 days, set by Randy Gardner in 1965. Four days into the research, he began hallucinating. This was followed by a delusion where he thought he was a famous footballer. Surprisingly, Randy was actually functioning quite well at the end of his research and he could still beat the scientist at pinball
  • Everybody dreams. EVERYBODY! Simply because you do not remember a dream does not mean that you did not dream
  •  We dream on average of one or two hours every night. And we often even have 4 to 7 dreams in one night
  • Five minutes after the end of a dream, half the content is forgotten. After ten minutes, 90% is lost
  • Studies have shown that our brain waves are more active when we are dreaming than when we are awake
  • Toddlers do not dream about themselves. They do not appear in their own dreams until the age of 3 or 4
