– What is the “falling thing” people apparently experience when trying to sleep?

568 views

I keep seeing it popping up, whether that be in memes or comments. I don’t think I have experienced this ever. Is this some sort of genetic thing? I tried searching it on Google, and the first result mentioned something like

> What causes falling sensation while sleeping is the natural disengagement of the astral body

– and I just stopped reading when it mentioned astral body. Is this just another thing we have no idea about or is there something to this?

Follow up question, can they always be seen by others? I remember in middle school i was falling asleep at my desk and i had probably one of the most startling jerks and woke up immediately. Like falling off a cliff and went splat. I was expecting others to look or laugh at me but nobody batted an eye. It felt so physical i have no idea how nobody noticed.
