Forums - General - Exploding Head Syndrome

Anyone else experience this? I get it almost every night.

It's basically the sound of a loud explosion in your head as your falling asleep or after. It also scares the shit out of you and tramatizes you for a few seconds.

wikipedia it if you want to know more.

It does suck pretty bad. Right when you're 100% relaxed  seconds away from falling asleep...

BAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!



It has happened to me like 10 times in my whole life, all of them while awake. It feels like your brain is suddenly shut down for a second, then powered on suddenly.

I've read about it, there's no treatment.
