why do we randomly feel like freefalling during our sleep?
In: 12
I can’t remember the full detail but I remember asking this many years ago and what I was told is it is linked to the function in your body that ‘paralyses’ movement when you are sleeping.
From what I remember at some point as you fall asleep your brain essentially shuts down body movement (I think the example I was given is that you can be dreaming that you are walking but your body doesn’t move in that way) and sometimes if you are still just awake when this function is happening it can cause the feeling of falling.
