ReplyDeleteyeah i know but its like different. well, i took it off just in case. if anyone else finds inaccuracy in any other facts, let me know.
ReplyDelete5 is accurate but only when you are not in the REM stage of sleep.
ReplyDeleteWhen you snore in the REM stage of sleep you can dream because the REM stage is when you dream.
