We’re nodding off talking about the language of sleep. Featuring the hypnic jerk, yoga with Joe Lycett, the origin of 40 winks, hoodwinking, another Gyles Brandreth bedtime game, burning the candle at both ends, feeling fresh as a daisy, hay in your trousers, hotel cushions, the arms of Morpheus and suffocating monsters. A Somethin’ Else Production.
Susie’s Trio of Words:
Hypnopompic: that twilight state between sleeping and waking.
Zwoddery: feeling drowsy and almost stupified.
Euneirophrenia: the lingering sensation that you get after waking from a pleasant dream.
