My cat is noisy in bed. He sleeps very loudly 😉 As soon as he is dozing (frequently) he starts to make a noise. It is almost like a sign or a signal that is intended to say to me “I am asleep”. Except he is not! Well, if he is, he wakes up incredibly quickly…No he is not asleep. He is hardly ever asleep properly. Just sometimes he’ll twitch. Then I know he is really asleep.
I would expect most cats to sleep quietly. As my cat sleeps right next to me at shoulder/head height the noise he makes can keep me awake for a while. I tell him to shut up but he ignores me…. 😉 He is in incredibly hot too… How do I get asleep?
I hate experiments like that.
Obviously, sleep deprivation is very serious.
Thanks for the info.
I just knew that Damon’s antics would put me at deaths’ door one day. Now I know what it will be.
There may even be a conspiracy going on here, and I never realized.
LOL.
Is Monty trying to kill me? How does he know the exact moment I’ve drifted back to sleep or when I am drifting into a very deep, satisfying sleep? He must know, because that is almost always the exact moment he chooses to ask for a night snack and some foot petting. Not petting his foot, petting his whole body with my foot.
I read that during sleep, the brain is cleared of a certain chemical (toxic central nervous system (CNS) metabolites – β-amyloid (Aβ), are present in the interstitial space surrounding cells in the brain) that has built up during waking hours. If this chemical is not flushed out, there are serious health consequences and as you say even death.
Charlie used to sleep at my feet. He then figured out it was safer higher up because he was away from my feet which kept moving when I was asleep. Now he prefers it.
Scientists do some very cruel and needless experiments and I wish Karma on them all who torture animals in the name of science, just because they can.
he sometimes does but i usually go over and lightly pat him and he stops. The other cats usually sleep either end of bed or the right side. smokey always moves to the side im sleeping on n if i roll over he moves back to that side hes definitly mummys boy.
