NoDozer:
Sleep starts were a real mystery to me for a long time because the response they produce mimics breathing events. It took me forever to prove that the main cause for me was caffeine. For some reason I became really sensitive to it as I tapered off. When ever I 'cheat' and have a coke or a bunch of chocolate, the sleep starts return and seriously mess with my sleep.

Another thing that causes 'some' sleep starts with me is being sleep deprived. This doesn't happen much to me after MMA. I've read that what happens is our sleep goes straight to REM or to a deep stage quickly and that causes the sleep start. The result for me is a semi-full body jerk, like a spasm, just enough to wake me an cause a distress. After about 5 of these, I'm adrenalin'ed up for an hour.

I assume your handle is sleep related and not some anti-heavy-equipment or land-preservation sentiment.... :)

Strumer:
That's great news about your sleep. Glad you are progressing.
