Get the Sleeping Beautymug. Stage 3 non-REM sleep is the period of deep sleep that you need to feel refreshed in the morning. It occurs in longer periods during the first half of the night. Your heartbeat and breathing slow to their lowest levels during sleep. Your muscles are relaxed and it may be difficult to awaken you. Brain waves become even slower.
REM sleep first occurs about 90 minutes after falling asleep. Your eyes move rapidly from side to side behind closed eyelids. Mixed frequency brain wave activity becomes closer to that seen in wakefulness. Your breathing becomes faster and irregular, and your heart rate and blood pressure increase to near waking levels. Most of your dreaming occurs during REM sleep, although some can also occur in non-REM sleep. Your arm and leg muscles become temporarily paralyzed, which prevents you from acting out your dreams. As you age, you sleep less of your time in REM sleep. Memory consolidation most likely requires both non-REM and REM sleep.

The pineal gland, located within the brain’s two hemispheres, receives signals from the SCN and increases production of the hormone melatonin, which helps put you to sleep once the lights go down. People who have lost their sight and cannot coordinate their natural wake-sleep cycle using natural light can stabilize their sleep patterns by taking small amounts of melatonin at the same time each day. Scientists believe that peaks and valleys of melatonin over time are important for matching the body’s circadian rhythm to the external cycle of light and darkness.

Get the Sleep Clashingmug. This happens when the inside of a sleeping bag contains food inside of it, preferably beef, becoming a sleeping burito that screeches ear-breaking sounds into your ear, usually screaming "EAT ME!!!"
Guy 1: Hey did you hear about that story about food in a bag?
Guy 2: Yeah you mean the sleeping burito that screams at you!

Get the Sleeping Buritomug. The false belief that you can somehow "pay yourself forward" for an upcoming real or potential lack of sleep.
"Won't you be tired staying up all night?"
"Naw, I slept in till the crack of noon. I got sleep credit"
"Sleep credit? Man, that's not real! Sleep isn't an iTunes gift card. You can't save up extra sleep and cash it in at a later date"
"yeah huh I can"
"You're stupid, sleep for 16 hours straight and then stay up for 48 hours in a row and let me know how that sleep credit works out for you."
