I don't know if I'm the only one that experiecnes this but sometimes when Im about to sleep and I'm all drowsy and I'm about 20 seconds away from slipping into unconcoiusness and abou to fall asleep *BAM* I get a jolt through my body that sorta feels like I've fallen face first into the ground and I'm all jumpy and stuff?
Has this ever happened to everyone? I heard it's some sort of muscle spasim!
No. You seem to have some sort of problem. I fall asleep quite eas
I do that but it's usually when I'm in a deep sleep. I feel liek I just fell 30 feet.
Strangeness. You might want to go seek medical help for something like that
I've had that happen. It's odd.
I sometimes feel suddenly awake when I'm close to sleep, but it doesn't really feel like anything weird... Just me waking up for some reason.
Yes, I get that too, but it's usually tied to a half-dream with some sort. I usually am doing something active like running in my dream, and then I move my legs in real life or move my arms and it jolts me awake.
I used to get that when I was younger, most of the time I would either think I fell and hit the ground or something hit me in the face. I haven't had that happen in a while now though so I guess that's done with.
That happens to me on occasion, Joel. It's kind of creepy, but I don't think it's a serious problem or anything.
I've had that happen. As a matter of fact, it happened at school once when I almost fell asleep in class. Luckily no one noticed.
*grins*
yeah I do!
Sometimes it happens. I attribute it to me just not being tired in the first place
Sometimes. What happenes to me occasionaly is that I hear an electric shock while it happens. I know. I'm pretty messed up.
Happens to me very rarely, it's a cool experience.
It's neither rare nor dangerous, you have nothing to worry about. I don't remember why it happens more often sometimes and in some people, but there's some kind of psychological/physiological basis - perhaps to do with how deeply you're sleeping, how relaxed you are, something like that.
Sometimes I'm about to fall asleep and I jerk awake because I thought I was falling.
I get that from time to time. Once I imagined myself skiing downward aty a high rate of speed while drifting off.
I think there's a medical name for it. It's normal.
