I used to wake in an instant to baby cries, then gradually the switch just got turned off, we had decided the man would get up once the kids get older as goes back to sleep faster, and then it just stopped. Another example of it was when we were living on the boat. I know that the man is quite a light sleeper, and so I at some level knew that he would wake to sounds quickly. I didn't realise how organized this system was until he was off the boat for a week now and then, and suddenly I was waking up several times a night. My brain had switched its settings in his absence. <br /><br />I still think the kids hear me say that I love them when they're sleeping, at some level.<br /><br />JG...they must be!!!! How weird though, like a whole hidden filing system.<br /><br />Mother T...you should, there are some great ones out there...and if they are filed, I can't find em, I listened again.orenetahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10616103982088424715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8311151968716514867.post-28841344200183493762012-01-11T06:25:46.057-08:002012-01-11T06:25:46.057-08:00Ooh, now I'm just going to have to listen to t...Ooh, now I'm just going to have to listen to those podcasts too, they sound fascinating. As far as listening while you are asleep, I agree with elpadwan, our brains will react to certain sounds, but most won't be processed. So, nope, I don't think the podcasts are in there anywhere, so you'll just have to listen to them again.Mother Theresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09648404612737553605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8311151968716514867.post-45871616670040586262012-01-10T18:19:46.997-08:002012-01-10T18:19:46.997-08:00I definitely think the brain is still listening, b...I definitely think the brain is still listening, but not processing on a conscious level. It is thinking about your dreams instead. But I bet those podcasts are all in there somewhere!J.G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02806805528636359436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8311151968716514867.post-80023597524453299972012-01-10T08:50:50.083-08:002012-01-10T08:50:50.083-08:00well, as you said. Hearing and Listening are two v...well, as you said. Hearing and Listening are two very different things. Maybe during sleep the brain functions set the listening abilities to "reptilian level", i.e. will only pay attention to sounds that would be interpreted as danger and therefore would require to wake you up. Crying baby, fire alarm, etc, so that the rest of the brain can focus on more important things, like that dream you wanted to have but got cut off last night when a barking dog woke you up :DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
