Why do we sometimes hear things that never happened or were never said?

Question

Sometimes I think someone has called my name and they never said anything.

Sometimes I’ve even heard what seemed like someone shout right next to my face, but that mostly happens when I’m close to falling asleep!

I hope that makes a bit of sense!

For the falling asleep part you will probably benefit on reading up on [exploding head syndrome](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exploding_head_syndrome)
