BOOM before going to sleep

[moonbogg]

You hear it sometimes? Happens just as i'm falling asleep and then BOOM, like someone pounding on the wall. Sounds as clear as a bell. Its a bed time hallucination, but still weird.

Often, but in 3s boom boom boom...

Sometimes while falling asleep, if I drop off really quickly it will feel like I got kicked in the brain. It's odd.

 

[GlacierFreeze]

Sounds like mild sleep paralysis. Do you have any lights or dim lights on in the room? Probably won't happen if completely dark.

Am I the only one that thought this thread would be about beating off to help you fall asleep?

 

[irishScott]

Uh... might want to get that checked.

I never remember actually falling asleep, I basically just lay down and black out until I wake up.

I hear things, but usually I'll be in the middle of falling asleep and I'll hear music playing, clear as day. As soon as I open my eyes it stops. Then I can close my eyes, start falling asleep again and I hear it.. It's as if it's playing right next to me.

 

[Ruptga]

No, but a few times a year I will wake up with a completely numb and limp arm. That wouldn't be so bad, but since I can't feel it I don't know it is mine, so I feel something foreign laying on my chest and face and wake up with a start. The last time that happened I was sleeping in a basement known for bugs, so I was somewhat on edge about sharing my bed with crawlies. I happened to be sleeping near the edge, was just starting to wake, and felt something weird on top of me. My reptile brain asserted itself I flailed myself clear off the bed.

no booms before sleep, but sometimes I wake up from a boom only to hear "you're crazy" from my gf

 

[tcsenter]

Hypnagogic hallucination. When falling to sleep is ripe for hallucinations. Be thankful that a boom is the only thing you experience.

I'll be darned. That is exactly what I have every so often. Had no idea this was a known thing. Makes me feel a little better!

SHIT. I thought it was just something odd that happened to me every now and again. It's not often, but sometimes a couple hours after I fall asleep I swear I hear a door slam. It's enough that it should wake up the whole house, but everyone is fast asleep except me who is all worried wondering who is in the house.

 

[SlitheryDee]

Sometimes I'll get that too. I'll be drifting off to sleep and I'll hear a loud rapping sound, like what you would hear if you slapped a desk with a long ruler.

 

[Murloc]

never happened to me.

 

[Saint Nick]

Yep... has happened to me a few times in my life. Quite frightening because it is so "loud"

I've had it for years.

Mine can best be described as a jet plane flying through the bedroom. It only lasts about half a second, but scares the bejesus out of me every time.
