Your body is trained to have you wake up after you have had enough sleep.

No.  I feel the same when I take a non drowsy medicine.  Its like taking an Advil.  You just feel a little better.

You are your brain, but your brain is doing a huge number of things at once.  So while it has entered an altered state called "sleep", it's still quite busy, and not completely unresponsive.  It's not just dreaming, but still maintaining your body and processing incoming signals: you can ignore a loud truck on the freeway but still wake up when your child calls your name from the other room.  Or if your bladder commands you to......

I also used to dream a lot, its all because i think too much. So i will no sleep if i dont feel like to, trying to make myself tired(watch tv, play games etc) then go to bed. So that i got no time to think about other stuff.

the answer is that as you are tired and start to relax your breathing starts to get shallower.  the effect of this is that you are not getting enough oxygen into your bloodstream and so start to become unconscious.  from this point on, your awareness disappears as your breathing gets shallower still as you pass down through the four sleep levels.

It's called a myclonic jerk. \nThis term denotes a common experience with  sudden contractions of the big body muscles while falling asleep. This mostly causes a feeling of stumbling,  falling or similar and subsequently  waking up again.  The exact  cause  is not  known, it probably  is   some disturbance in the brain's functions  in the first  stage of sleep.  Surely it is common, and does not cause serious problems unless it  stops you from sleeping (but then you have general sleeping problems as well).

When you're awake. That is, when you're not in class or in bed.

It's no big deal.  You literally just go to sleep almost instantly.  When you wake up, you'll be groggy- sorta like you've gotten up 2 hours early.  It's different than being sleepy- you literally can wake up, make a comment or have a short conversation, and !plop! you fall back asleep.  I've never understood why, but your head feels really HEAVY right afterwards.  When you raise it to look around, I swear, it feels like you're picking up a 16-pound bowling ball.  Doesn't hurt- just HEAVY.\n\nThey will normally wake you up right after the procedure- before you're taken back to your room.  You may or may not remember this.  You'll awake to a nurse tapping your cheeks calling your name.  Once they see you're awake, they let you go back to sleep- which takes like 1 second....and you'll wake up in your room.\n\nI glanced at some of the answers here & some are ridiculious.  I've been put under 3x- believe me, it's nothing.

On a number of occasions, I have been in a dream that was so illogical that I figured out that I was dreaming and "woke up." However, I later realized that I has only dreamed I was waking up and I was really still asleep. This is really confusing when you wake up again! But the stuff in the dream never occurred. In fact, just about all the dreams I remember could not possibly happen.

Yes this is normal. Sleep Paralysis is a common event where the mind and body start the relaxation process. When asleep the connection between the behavior of your mind and the response of your body is turned off. If it was not it is likely that you would hurt yourself as you body started acting out it's dreams. You know how when you are starting to fall asleep and you kick out or twitch in response to something you are dreaming about, same deal.\n\nIt is possible that your mind and body are not following the same pattern, that you body is shutting down before you mind can follow, or that your mind is waking before you body can follow. This is the state that is known as Sleep Paralysis. My whole family suffers from it.\n\nInterestingly, most people experience similar things when in this state. The feeling of a presence or of a pressure on your chest. A panicking feeling is also normal. People who have claimed to be abducted by aliens or visited by dead relatives have often been found to be suffering from this issue.\n\nThere are many resources online about this condition and I encourage you too look for them. This is a normal natural experience.

Yeah, I've just always had trouble sleeping, and seem to function a lot better at night.  It's not like I hate the sun, or anything, but when I'm not distracted by everything else going on, I feel a lot more relaxed and focused.  In fact, I should be doing my homework at the moment...oops.  Little too relaxed. :)

Yes. That is called lucid dreaming, when you realize you are dreaming. Next time, try flying, it's pretty fun. Careful though, you could lose control, mid control and start flying upside down or hovering just above the floor! Watch a movie called "Waking Life" It's all about dreams and its a very, excellent and entertaining movie! One of my faves! :)
