Nap spasms

[Rusty]

Is it...like, when you dream you're falling or something? Or do you just jerk back to consciosness, like?

This happens to me a lot. It's horrible.

Is this like the pee shivers Jojo made a thread about that time? The sleep jolts? Maybe it's related to simultaneously going into and coming out of a REM sleep period, where you become paralysed. Maybe it's a form of narcolepsy!

Or maybe it's just you making yourself wake up. I know sometimes when I wake up naturally I open my eyes very quickly (and by some accounts, frighteningly), or sit straight up before I'm *really* awake.

You all fail at sleeping

[Ashi]

That happens to me pretty often. It has never happened if I fell asleep in the car or other places, mostly when in bed. I would only be asleep a few seconds and suddenly I'd wake up with that shudder thing. Sometimes I would have that falling dream as I wake up, but not so much lately.
