"Exploding Head Syndrome – Overview & Facts. Exploding head syndrome is a parasomnia. A parasomnia involves undesired events that come along with sleep. Exploding head consists of a loud noise that you suddenly imagine just before you fall asleep."
IMAGINE? EXCUSE ME? I always thought it was a sound I heard as I was falling asleep but my brain processed it like 10x more louder than it actually is cause alot of the time when I'm tired but not sleeping yet, still awake, I hear sounds slightly louder than what they actually are. So I thought my brain was doing that but on overdrive due to how I was closer to sleep.
But no, apparently there aren't actual sounds out there and my brain just wanted to make me jump out of my skin. Wth. Like it sounds like that noise is literally in my bedroom next to me and it's LOUD.
Althou I do hear sounds that aren't there. I'll hear loud environments (but at a much lower sound then the actual environment) and also music, but very faint.
