Crazy Things That Happen In Your Sleep

#1 While You're Sleeping.

Did you know that while you are asleep, you may be performing some strange actions that you simply will not remember when you awaken? 

 

#2 Rapid Eye Movement (REM).

When you dream, your eyes move from side to side to witness what happens in your dreamscape. Blind people also experience REM. 

#3 Exploding Head Syndrome (EHS).

When a person (usually 50 years or older) hears an imaginary and loud noise as he or she falls asleep or begins to awaken, that's EHS! 

 

#4 Hypnic Jerks.

Hypnic Jerks are a falling sensation you may experience as you begin to drift off. It typically happens because of excess energy, or because muscles relax sending your brain a signal that you are falling.

 

#5 Somniloquy: Talking In Your Sleep.

Children are more likely to talk in their sleep than adults, and men are more likely to talk than women. Causes of somniloquy may include stress, illness, depression. 

 

#6 Snoring.

Snoring happens when throat muscles relax during sleep. The relaxed muscles cause narrowing in the throat, and when the throat narrows too much, snoring results.

 

#7 Somnambulism.

Somnambulism, or sleepwalking, can cause a person to perform a variety of tasks in their sleep, some of which can be quite complex. Thankfully, this is not common.
