AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the varying emotions experienced upon waking, specifically feelings of happiness or sickness. Factors influencing these feelings include changes in biochemistry during different sleep stages. Awakening from various sleep states can lead to differing emotional responses, which may not be controllable. The conversation highlights the complexity of sleep and its impact on mood, with a contributor mentioning their extensive research in sleep studies and an upcoming book on the topic.

Why do I feel happy when I awake from sleep sometimes? Why do I feel like I was hit by a train and feel sick sometimes? What are the factors?

This is insufficient information. Someone can also feel happy while awake, and feel sick while awake.

However, your biochemistry changes through the stages of sleep. You are very likely awaking from different states of sleep.

That's coming from someone who has done years of sleep (and dream) studies. I have a book coming out soon - completely scientific and a lot of newly research information!

This thread is my attempt to understanding the evidence that Natural Selection in the human genome was recent and regional. On Page 103 of A Troublesome Inheritance, Wade writes the following: "The regional nature of selection was first made evident in a genomewide scan undertaken by Jonathan Pritchard, a population geneticist at the...
