Brian: Sounds like you might have sleep napnea.
Ben: Is that bad?
Brian: It's deadly...
Sleep scrobbling is the act of allowing last.fm to scrobble your song plays while you sleep. You would really only do this if you wanted to appear as if you listen to an artist more than you actually do. Only a depraved individual would commit such a heinous act so don't do it.
"Did you hear Jackie sleep scrobble the entirety of Joanna Newsom's discography? I mean, Have One on Me is a two hour album so I get it but c'mon!:

Medically, little is know of the cause of sleep paralysis. Experienced worldwide and throught history, SP occurs to otherwise normal people at the onset, or the end of REM (rapid eye movement) sleep. Simply stated, SP seems to be an experience opposite sleep walking. Rather than your body unconscincely moving mimicing a dream, your conscince mind will be rendered unable to move your body. A subject will suddenly become completely aware of his/her surroundings, but will be unable to move their body or even wake up. Hallucinations and intense fear accompany the experience, as subjects may scence an evil presence that often sits on the subject's chest and interferes with the ability to breathe normally. The physical form of the presence varies from time period and culture, older instances involved witches, or "hags" and many new cases involve aliens. These subjects will experience many of the stereotypical events of an alien abduction, such as paralysis, floating sensation, and auditory hallucinations. The event can last from several seconds, to several minutes, with the subject either falling deeper into sleep, or snaping out and waking. The experience usually leaves the subject confused and disoriented and often, even after waking, the subject believes the event to have been an actual experience. SP is not known to be harmfull, and paralysis has never been know to adversly effect invoulentary muscles such as heart or lungs, although an elevated heart rate may occur from the scence of fear. If you have experienced sleep paralysis, it is important to keep in mind that it is largely a dream. Any experiences that take place are created by your mind. Having a bit of knowledge of what is actually going on, often helps subjects to deal with it.
When I was younger, I believed that I was being abducted by space aliens. Now that I understand more, I realize that I was really only experiencing sleep paralysis.

A state of being when a person is semi-awake, yet their eyes are closed with a smile on their face. Usually accompanied by the subject claiming they aren't sleeping. Likely a result of self-imposed unnecessary sleep deprivation.
Miguel decided he would rather sleep smile and complain about the TV being boring instead of retiring to his room and going to bed.

The act of swimming in the early morning while still mentally asleep. Sleep Swimming is often seen at pools where swim teams practice at absurd hours of the day. It can also be known as swimming with your eyes closed while moving your arms and legs attempting to just survive until practice is over.
Me: Do we really have to have morning practice right after this eight hour bus ride!?
Teammate: Yeah dude I think so. It's going to be bad!
Me: Well if it's really true then i'm straight up Sleep Swimming!
