During sleep, the brain produces Serotonin, a neurotransmitter that can regulate mood and emotions, amongst other aspects of a persons mental and physiological health.

It is the same neurotransmitter that typically anti-depressants synthetically have an effect on (SSRI's or SNRI's) and the like.

So yeah, sleeping is typically good for a persons mental health and can be rewarding for a lot of people.

that's like 8 hours worth of medication for me most nights then

You probably do dream, but can't remember it. I gather you have to wake up pretty soon after a dream or you'll forget it.

I've always liked dreams. Don't know why. They're totally useless and bonkers, but there's something intriguing about them.

I wonder what the best dream that anybody has ever had was

I had one when I was about 6 where me and my sister had got loads of amazing magical toys. I had another one more recently where I could fly and I was in the Orient looking at brilliant artistic oriental buildings and shelves of stuff including magic bottles, all very vivid and colourful. I think it'd be hard for anybody to beat that. I could hardly believe I'd dreamed it when I woke up. I couldn't have made it up in real life.

I've had a couple of dreams where I was in Russia
They were quite memorable
I saw The Kremlin

The best dreams I've ever had have all involved copious quantities of dessert

I can't imagine there's many people still alive who would want to sit and watch On The Buses

Many years ago I woke up laughing hysterically about a joke I'd just heard in a dream. By the time I stopped laughing, I couldn't remember what the joke was.

I've woke up laughing before because of a dream

It was like cartoony people singing "i made it through the rain" on the bus

Like I wake up already dysregulated.
Rarely had ever been wake up refreshed.
Sometimes a nap is detrimental than staying awake in my case.

I can practically count that ever few rare days out of essentially decades long of my life.

I like my neighbour me
She's kind but she's a bit rough

Don't tell her I told you that though

That bloke who played the miserable old supervisor also played Alexei Sayle's scriptwriter. It was basically the same character only without the hat.
Reg Varney was also in The Rag Trade a few years before.
