why are we never aware of the exact moment we fall asleep?
In: Biology
Buzzkill here. I have narcolepsy. And I experience a very strange phenomenon in which I do not go through the normal stages of falling asleep. I drop directly into REM sleep. Usually within 2 minutes of laying my head on the pillow. It’s actually a really good situation at bedtime.
I *do* know the exact moment I fall asleep because I go so fast between awakeness and REM sleep. This has been documented. Doctors and sleep technicians think I’m pretty cool. But this is extremely rare. It’s really really nice feeling, just like a switch, but I understand if other people in the forum think I’m absolutely nuts.
