What I learned today:
So I came home from school and Brad informed me that he didn't sleep very well last night. Being the loving wife that I am I gave him a very sympathetic look and said, "Oh I'm sorry honey. Why?" and this is how the conversation finished:
"Because I kept waking up."
"I'm sorry. What was waking you up?"
"I kept having the same dream that I was playing a card game."
"Well, was it scary?"
"No, it was boring."
 (insert pause (twist head and make weird face)).... "Aren't boring things suppose to PUT you to sleep?"
"You'd think."

Ha ha, so apparently dull things put you to sleep and dull dreams wake you up.
