Just me falling asleep and suddenly had this sensation. Woke up with a jolt and yelled out "AYO WE FALLIN BRO!"
SureConsiderMyDick@reddit
I am glad that doesn't happen to me. Thing I can relate to is falling asleep in the bus or tram. You cannot fall asleep there because else your stuff get stolen.
people who fall deliberatly asleep on the tram want get groped by a pervert.

Never had the falling dreams but I get sleep paralysis out the ass. And if I wake up and go back to sleep right away the nightmare resumes. I have to get up and walk around to reset my regarded brain
Nidhogg-exe@reddit
I have the same exact thing, the worst is that you know you’ll get the paralysis the moment you go back to sleep. Even did a sleep study to see what it was but nada results
Spanker_of_Monkeys@reddit
Oh nice, glad I'm not the only one. I always have to get up and walk around a bit, then when I go back to sleep I tend to have normal dreams
Nidhogg-exe@reddit
Yea, I usually cut the night short when it happens cuz I end up falling asleep over and over again and getting paralyzed, and since it happens in the early morning for me, I don’t mind just giving up the extra 2 hours of sleep. Hope yours gets better, it sucks knowing you’re dreaming and paralyzed but not being able to do anything about it

Do you use pillows with buttons?
Were the reason for it to happen to me, some day I realized that I was laying on those buttons and apparently they hindered the blood flow or fuck do I know.
Never happened again since I use pillows without buttons.

How do you deal with sleep paralysis? I'd feel scared to sleep if I had it
Candid_Interview_268@reddit
Do you sleep on your back or stomach by any chance? That's known to increase the risk of sleep paralysis.
Spanker_of_Monkeys@reddit
Not intentionally. Although what I'm describing is probly different cuz it's a literal dream (presumably REM). I'll be aware I'm dreaming cuz I'm paralyzed and my bedroom will be distorted or they'll be a monster's shadow or whatever. I've never been paralyzed while awake.

Fun fact, this happens when falling asleep because your body reduces your heart rate, most systems in your body go into sleep mode essentially, but every once in awhile your heart rate slows down too much, and you are basically about to die, so how does your brain counteract this problem? By saying hey bro you're falling lol, and your adrenal glands chimp out, kickstarting your heart.
Smol-Fren-Boi@reddit
Makes sense. Trolling your own body is the most efficient way to do it
ItsCocoaPowder@reddit
stupid brain, couldve just let it happen
GrImPiL_Sama@reddit
Thats a 900 IQ move from the brain. I wish my brain lent me some of that.
Ozymandias_1303@reddit
Yeah, that sucks. I've also had this variant happen, fortunately a lot more rarely.
CluelessNuggetOfGold@reddit
Shit me too, I never knew there was a name for it
bigboygroup@reddit
pretty sure exploding head syndrome is the byproduct of a metric fuck-ton of stress. it probably says that in the wikipedia but i’m not reading all that shit
RoguishPrince@reddit
Actually it only happens when the UFOs return me to my bed and kiss me goodnight. (They are such nice people)
MostlyRocketScience@reddit
That is why its called a hypnic jerk
Active_Raccoon_4169@reddit
Mine plays a loud noise inside my head. Like a huge metal crane falling

WintersbaneGDX@reddit
Wow... for a moment I felt such bliss, such a freedom from it all. All the pain was gone, what a wonderful sensation.
thr33beggars@reddit
My brain would never. It knows where I keep my shotgun and I’ll take both of us out.
