Dream deprivation probably does sound funny, but it isn't. No one knows what function dreams serve, but it is known that constantly interrupting people during REM (rapid eye movement -- means they're dreaming) sleep soon brings on extreme irritability and irrationality. Many believe that the DT's alcoholics suffer are brought on by the alcohol's deleterious effect on normal sleep patterns. Delda White ([log in to unmask])
