What We Are Not Conscious of During Sleep

The next time you say 'Something woke me up'

Consider the following numbers and names of things that we are not conscious of during sleep.

1 Universe, 100,000,000,000 Galaxies, 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 Stars, 1 home Solar System, 1 home Planet, 150,000,000 km2 of surface area, 122,644,269,811,838 kw of potential energy, 7,000,000,000 Living People, 100,000,000,000 Dead People, 3,500,000,000 People Awake, 3,500,000,000 People Asleep, 3,305,000,000 People Working, 4,468,200 sq km of urban areas, 1,000,000,000 Cars, 1,370,782 km of railway, 20,000 Planes, 55,000 ships, 2,275,000,000,000 Communication systems, 30,000,000 insect species, 7,770,000 animal species, 610,000 fungi species, 300,000 plant species, 40,000 protozoa species, 30,000 chromist species, 101,325 newtons per square metre atmosphere pressure, 108,000 km per hour earth orbit speed around the sun, 1,669 km per hour earth rotation speed, 103 elements, 100,000,000,000,000,000 Hz of electromagnetic radiation photons, 2 types of protons incl anti protons, 2 types of neutrons incl anti neutrons, 2 types of electrons incl positrons, 12 types of lepton incl anti leptons, 12 types of quark incl anti quarks , 10 gauge bosons incl possible anti gauge bosons, 4 fundamental energies, 13,320,000,000 to 15,000,000,000 years of evolution, up to 100 years of a human life, up to 36,500 days of a human life, up to 109,500 hours of sleep, up to 6,570,000 minutes of sleep, up to 394,200,000 seconds of sleep, 100,000,000,000 brain neurons, 5,000 brain synaptic connections, 500,000,000,000,000 brain processes simultaneously per second, 100,000,000,000,000,000 potential calculations per second.

All of these are blocked out of the human mind by a change in temperature and a change in light and the habit of sleep.

Not even the conscious memory of any of them remains for 8 hours each night of a human beings life.

The energy and effort required to block it out technologically would be infinite.

Humans achieve it through 1.4 kg of matter and 20 watts of energy passively powered.
