Feeling like your fallin, whilst trying to sleep.

yep.so weird

it happens because your falling asleep so quickly that your mind and body actualy believe your falling, so when you jump, it jolts you awake because your mind and body finaly realized that you weren’t actually falling but actually going to sleep, it happens to me all the time when I’m really tired… I asked my mom this question awhile back because it freaked me out whenever it happend, and half the time although I know what it is and what caused it, it still freaks me out and is totaly wierd but is nothing to freat over

yeah yeah, trust me we’ve ALL had one of those lol. the falling dream. it’s like you’re so close to going into deep sleep, and then in your dream you fall and right before you hit the ground, you wake up and jump. I hate them! my sister is a psychology major and she was telling me all about the physical and mental reasons why we have those kind of dreams, and the whole meaning behind them.. I would tell you what she said, but I was too bored to actually bring myself to listen to what she was yapping about, sorry :[

A doctor told me that when you jerk yourself awake because you think you are falling it is because you are experiencing sleep apnea. When you stop breathing in your sleep this is your body’s way of quickly getting you to breath. I’m not 100% sure this is true because I haven’t read this anywhere else but I do know that when you are falling your instinct is to quickly breath in so it seems like a plausible explanation.

I love when that happens :L it’s a horrible feeling but it feels so nice at the same time haha x

yeah it happens to me all the time when I’m very tired. makes me laugh when I’m around someone and I jump and they kinda get startled and they’re like… are you ok. and I respond, “yeah, I was just trying to scare you” knowing damn well, I scared myself lol.

lol I do that all the time when I start to drift off into sleep! I hate that!

Yeah I’ve done it plenty of times to I think we be sleep and just wake up fast I know weird.

yeah that is weird I have done it plenty of times before! I don’t know why it happens its just weird

haha so funny im pretty sure that has happened to almost everyone at least once lol well it happens to me too so im guessing there is nothing wrong with us lol :)

thats happens to sometimes when im tired ,it is really weird

Ehm, with me it’s nothing like that, it’s when I’m half awake and half asleep and I get the physical sense of falling for half a second.

omg! that has happen to me im wondering the same question!

lol, I do this all the time in class.. sooo shameee!!! when your just sleeping then you twitch, makes the other students think theres something wrong with me..

lol, I think its weird.
