Delete?[edit]
Another funny-at-the-time stub that's just a poke at some CP topic. Delete? Totnesmartin (talk) 19:55, 9 January 2010 (UTC)
- Yeah, either that or slap the CP-centric sticker on it and think of some way to bring it back into the fold. But I won't lose sleep over it if it's deleted.

- An article on sleep &/or dreams could be on mission, given the number of pseudoscience & woo theories applied to them. Wēāŝēīōīď

- We have Lucid dreaming which has some interesting things, but not a massive amount. If you can think of any, do any woomeisters restrict or prescribe sleep? narchist 20:25, 9 January 2010 (UTC)
- Cult leaders sometimes deprive their followers of sleep... but we could put that under cult. I'm not aware of any particular sleep woo... a few old wives' tales (all that stuff about spiders etc) etc but that's it. Nothing we can use. woomeisters go more on dreams, which we could do.

- Certainly nothing here to save. ħuman

So... over a year has passed... delete? ТyTalk. 23:26, 8 June 2011 (UTC)
- my objection to this would be that there is a lot of woo surrounding sleep--User:Brxbrx/sig 23:31, 8 June 2011 (UTC)
- Even if it's originally meant to poke fun at you-know-what, there's a bit of Sleep woo around. That's why I added a bit on Polyphasic sleep, which was passed around as a method of productivity boosting or otherwise controlling some form of sleep disorders. I'm quite sure there's also some things meant to substitute sleep (i.e. some pill allows you to last 1 week without sleep), and there's manufacturers capitalizing on "the perfect bed". --Sigma 7 (talk) 00:26, 9 June 2011 (UTC)
Nothing missional here. No woo dealt with several years on. Delete. Nutty Roux (talk) 13:33, 16 May 2014 (UTC)
- No don't delete man, why would you delete information. The science on sleep and sleeping patterns is practically new who knows what we will discover in the future -- Maartenww 18:02, 22 May 2020 (CEST)
