"When a person sleeps the sleep intensity will increase which means the activity of the brain becomes larger, then the dream will certainly increase and the possibility of more clearly," said neurologist and director of the Minnesota Regional Sleep Disorders Center in Minneapolis, Mark help stop snoring, as quoted from ScientificAmerican, Thursday (15/12/2011).
