I had a memory like this of seeing sunflowers as tall as buildings on my grandpas land. Then I grew up and saw adult sunflowers again and was like “oh they’re actually tall as shit and I saw them from the perspective of a four year old”. Fucking dumbass smh

The explanation is the human mind isn't perfect when it comes to memories and it WILL get some things wrong.

Source: I save clips and some of them are vastly different than how I remember the clips going.

I remember reading that long term memory is not even an actual thing, the brain has to actually "reconstruct" the memory every time you think about it, and every time a certain degree of detail is lost and replaced by something else.

This is why movies like Total Recall scare the fuck out of me, i remember certain things so vividly yet i dont know if they're even real or because i was a kid i could barely understand it.

R-… recons-…

Wonder how much you can do it before there's nothing left in the loop. Scary...

There were some quality studies that basically show even in healthy well functioning people it’s easy to implant false memories through suggestion.

Star Wars episode 3 came out when I was 4, we may or may not have watched the bootleg copy if that changes things. I vividly remember after Anakin gets burned on Mustafar the galactic republic were the ones that recovered him. They reconstructed what they could and were the ones that put the Vader armor on him. They explained he was still unconscious and when he came to he would remember nothing but hatred or something to that effect. When I watched it again years later I was confused why it was different, I have a completely different memory of then ending but remembered everything else. Maybe I fell asleep, who knows.

Had the same experience.

At my uncle's cabin, maybe 7 years old. Cousins were staying up watching a movie, I laid down on the couch and felt kind of tired. Did a heavy blink and it was suddenly morning. Zero sense of time passing, zero sense of dreams or having slept, didn't wake up at all in the night, just.. boom. Morning.

Very very disorienting, tried to say what happened to me but everyone just ignored it. Really trippy experience, never had it happen again.

[-]

Spinnenente@reddit

kinda same here. as a kid i could sometimes just "skip" night by falling asleep. I think it was especially when i was looking forward to the next day. It wasn't disorienting though.

[-]

Uniquely-Bee@reddit

Yeah, happened to me once as a kid. I was really pissed, though, since it was a school day, and it basically a time-skip to the worst part of the day

[-]

MyHeadIsFullOfFuck@reddit

When I was really young like less than five years old I could fall asleep really fast.

I still remember closing my eyes and opening them then it was morning.

The older I get the more trouble I have sleeping. These days it takes me at least an hour to fall asleep.

I used to use a medication called seroquel to put me to sleep for the longest time but I quit that stuff since it made me fat.

[-]

p0llyp0cketpussy@reddit

I had the opposite. I felt like it took me forever to fall asleep as a kid, now it's super easy. I figured out that I'm naturally nocturnal though, so all those years of failing to fall asleep at night make a lot more sense.

Lifeabroad86@reddit

Youre getting your blood sugar levels checked every now and again right?

[-]

MyHeadIsFullOfFuck@reddit

yes

[-]

notagainrly@reddit

I don't think it makes you fat it just gives you the munchies?

[-]

ReturnRadio@reddit

Seroquel will make you sleep for 6 days straight

[-]

Kleiner_garten@reddit

It's good that you quit if it had bad sideffects. When i started smoking weed i would sleep around 7h everyday ez bc just smoking before bed made falling asleep very easy.

Had to quit due to logistical reasons lol, like money/wasted time. Falling asleep sober isn't particularly hard for me

[-]

MyHeadIsFullOfFuck@reddit

I smoke weed all day every day. I don't really get stoned anymore it's more to treat chronic pain.

Last time I took a tolerance break I couldn't sleep for two days.

[-]

Its_aTrap@reddit

Last time I quit smoking weed I couldn't eat for 2 days. Shit was awful

[-]

Kleiner_garten@reddit

It's funny if after my 3 years daily smoking (2g a day medicinal at the high point) the weed still felt like it did in the firat 6months i would have a much harder time quitting. At this point i have a permanent Toleranz amd it'll likely never feel how it did in the beginning for the rest of my life

[-]

ReallyTeddyRoosevelt@reddit

My wife can fall asleep within 5 minutes of hitting the bed. Sometimes it takes me hours. I have raging jealousy over the issue.

[-]

HiveMindKing@reddit

I just quit gabapentin because it’s making me fat, as people warned me it could.

Those teleport to morning sleeps as a kid hit different ngl

Do people not experience sleep like this? For me it takes a while but yeah instant teleportation to morning

[-]

rokomotto@reddit

This did happen to me back then too. I think you're just not really aware of how tired you really are.

[-]

Kodo_yeahreally@reddit

this happened to me one time

[-]

This-Researcher2543@reddit

This also happened to me one time

This happened to me one time as well

RedOtta019@reddit

I once dreamed? Idk. About going through my entire morning routine at elementary age. Talked to family, clothing, brushing, only to wake up in bed having done none of it at a fingers snap

[-]

Jay_T_Demi@reddit

Had this kind of sleep the other week. Happened on a day I was free and didn't have an alarm set.

Woke up, immediately started a rolling motion to get up starting from the feet, and got to a standing position in like 3 seconds. Audibly said "I am awake" at my wall and only then became fully aware of what I was doing.

[-]

PotatoDominatrix@reddit

That happened to me once as a kid. I woke up before the sun was up, blinked, and suddenly the sun was fully up and my mom was telling me it's time to get ready for school.

It was really disorienting.

[-]

HassanBadAss@reddit

I also one time as a kid I blinked and feel like all night passed in a second

[-]

fwimmygoat@reddit

Nah but I get it. As someone who has to toss and turn for hours to fall asleep, the few times I've laid down and immediately passed out have felt more like time skips than sleep.

[-]

egyszeruen_1xu@reddit

I had that few times. The most satisfactory sleeps of my life!

[-]

izyshoroo@reddit

They were dreaming

[-]

ambivln@reddit

that’s kind of sad honestly, I mean personally when I sleep I don’t just want to rest I want to get away from the world and eveeything for a bit. if you’re just gonna blink and wake up it’s like you’re perpetually conscious of everything and it kinda sucks

[-]

One of these things happen occasionally but it makes semse that both together is rare. I've had that happen but only in nap type situations
