i can do you one better not only do i learn things in my sleep i implement my learnings while still unconsious. If I am to get a proper amount of sleep then I will spend anywhere from 30 mins to 2 hrs (the high end is for saturday mornings with no plans) able to hear but still unconsious, if I make a serious effort I may be able to wake myself (as a side not vision returns consiousness but audio stimulation does not perhaps due to the fact that i sleep in a perfectly dark room but cant get it soundproofed).
Naturally being a college student this is a thing of the past, now im more likely to be suffereing from constant sleep dep, however if while i am being woken i can hold entire conversations in my unconsious state the anwsers i give may or may not have anyhting to do with whats said and i have many a time experianced the odd feeling of saying something relizing i just said it and knowing it made no sense to whoever was wakign me (usually mum). On the flip note when i am so rudely awakened by the maternal parental unit it isnt uncommon for me to have said no for yes or "it is understood to be expected that midgets at barbeques will stamp you with wildflowers" for no.
As for the learning people have mention computer problems and video games but i have also fixed design and engineering problems, social problems, ohh yeah and i am a lucid dreamer by compulsion who is blissfully having given up that ability. And you have no idea how cool it is to be stuck on a level of Splinter Cell (the original still the hardest) completely unable to pull of my american ninja skillz so i pause loose consiousness and wake to the mission accomplished screen (and was able to beat it after that too). It is soo freaking awesome lucid dreaming is a novelty but the shit i pull in my sleep is soooo freakign awesome.
Sorry to Brag
