A couple of months ago I realized that I can never have the memory of having fallen asleep. Why? Because I am asleep when the event has occurred. My brain is no longer in a condition to have waking memories. This is different from remembering your dreams (I think...) However it is possible to have the memory of waking up. This would be the indication that we must have fallen asleep because you cannot wake up from sleep unless you have previously been in that stage. One is incapable of quitting smoking unless they have previously smoked. We may take this concep for granted and say, "Well duh! That's obvious." But is it really obvious? If it were that means everyone would have the memory of thinking about this at some time in the past. It is a very interesting thing when you think on it. We naturally say, "I fell asleep watching the movie." But why can we say that? Because we have the memory of waking up. I have the memory of waking up on the exercize mats at the gym tonight after a really hard workout. I was counting to 10 with deep breathing for relaxation after my exercises and stretches were done. When the memory of waking up came to my mind, I noticed that the clock had continued forward by approximately 30 minutes in time. I have the memory of waking up... Have a good night.
