This is going to sound strange, but when I was a kid I saw a documentary on Dolphins and thought it was pretty cool how they sleep with one eye open and half their brain is still awake so they can still be alert to danger. I thought it would be really cool if I could do that, it would mean I could stay up all night playing my gameboy or something lol. So anyway, I'd always try shutting only one eye when I was sleepy and eventually it just became a thing I can't help any more. It's not something I really thought about, but my girlfriend noticed me doing it the other day and thought it was pretty funny/weird.

    As kids we all have these strange tendencies that develop. When I was a kid my mother was off in her lil' world to such a degree I honestly contribute my upbringing to the cats. Without that relationship with them, I would have been a serial killer. It taught me compassion, and the love of others. They were the nuture to my nature my family never provided.

    And you're right that is super cool idea, I wonder if they switch eyes every night to rest the other hemisphere... googles.
