Hmm.  That sounds like it might be my problem, getting woken in
REM.  During the week, I don't get anywhere near the officially needed
amount of sleep, and when the alarm goes, I kinda have a mixing of dream
and reality.  But, on weekends, I don't wake up anywhere near a
dream.  And isn't REM when you dream?

So, uh, do they suggest how you wake up not in REM?
