Listening to Music While You Sleep

[george]

I remember I was on a bus sleeping at a camp that I went to and I fell asleep listening to my iPod. Sadly I went to sleep with my mouth open so a lot of my friends were like messing around with me when I was sleeping like opening and closing my mouth, taking pictures of me with them (lol), and other things that I'm pretty sure would have woken me up. The whole time I was listening to my music and didn't wake up until my friend took out 1 earphone and I just suddenly woke up. And for some reason I knew what they had been doing and I even remembered the song that I had been listening to. It was a like droopy, just woke up, waking up, I was fulling awake right after. So I was wondering, do you think if your listening to music, your in a deeper sleep and that if you take that music away that you'll wake up a lot faster? I don't know, maybe its just me.

I think the depth of the sleep is determined by how tired you are and what your body needs. If you've got ipod on, then you're (obviously) not taking in the auditory cues from the environemnt, so your brain missed that information it otherwise would have picked up if your ears were open.

Oohhh yeah thats true, but then wouldn't I had still felt them touching me and me just moving around? Or would be senses be like distracted by the music?

You must have been very tired, George, it was a deep sleep, eventhough you were on the bus and basically in public.

No, I don't think the iPod got in the way of you realizing they were touching you, I doubt you even heard the music you were so deeply asleep.

I can sleep easier if i listen to music. But sometimes if I'm really tired, I dont because because it can be distracting.

But thats the thing, I remembered like the 3 or 4 last solngs that I was listening to.
