Personally I do feel more relax. This is just an opinion and even though humor might not be for everyone as a stress reliever, its a great educational opportunity as well. I think if I could be funny, being a comedian would be a wonderful career because it brings many smiles to people's faces and also its a form of teaching. If done correctly its a great way to speak about history and contemporary social issues that affect us. It has helped my roommate and I open up about different perception of how we view social issues that we are more likely to suppress, as some issues are considered inappropriate to speak about publicly. In a way humor breaks that barrier, and gets individuals to open up and talk about important issues that affect us today.

Humor
I really enjoy a good sense of humor, especially when finals are coming around it. I know humor is not appropriate for every occasion, but now we take everything to seriously. Humor is a great stress reliever, especially when one is trying to finish the last assignments and getting ready for finals. Recently I have found myself watching many comedians on TV before heading to sleep.

We're two of a kind. ;) I, too, enjoy watching comedians when falling asleep at night. Not just then, but yes, then, too. I watch a ton of stand-up. I'm always trying to find up and coming comedians before they hit the mainstream though I enjoy plenty that are mainstream, like Louis C.K. And you're right!-I don't think about it much, but I think one of the reasons I enjoy it so much is because they can cover so many topics. And the funniest jokes nearly always have an underlying truth to them. Now that you mention your roommate discussing topics further, it makes me think of how many times a political, current events, etc. discussion has started between my sister and I that started with mentioning a joke from a comedian. It's crazy how much we're all alike sometimes!
