Is is normal to sort of hear people talking while falling asleep?

When I’m on the verge of sleep I’ll very very often hear people within my head talking, like, not as if it’s external or somewhere in my room, but also not like my own internal monologue. It’s like a mix. It vibrates from inside my head, like, when you speak out loud, and your head vibrates, that’s what it feels like but I know it’s not me talking out loud. If I’m scrolling memes before bed I’ll hear people read them out loud, in different voices and intonations. I don’t expect them or know what they’re gonna say, I’ve talked to them, heard them argue, sing, a lot of stuff because it happens like every time I go to bed. And again, when talking to them or hearing them, I don’t know when they’ll speak or what they’ll say, it’s not me. But I know it’s not real and it doesn’t sound like it’s coming from somewhere in the room.

Normal?

    Yes; hypnagogic hallucinations.

      That would honestly keep me from sleeping. The only talking I like when I sleep is from my ASMR.

      Which is kinda weird because my ASMR is usually someone playing a war game and they have a really soothing voice, followed by explosions and gun fire.

    Thanks for asking a great question.

    That is not uncommon... and totally normal. You may or may not grow out of it. It can appear in the elderly or be associated brain trauma, especially if they had that condition when younger.

    All indications are that it's harmless and not a sign or indication of any other issues or developing issues.

    Now you can sleep peacefully...

    Sweet Dreams!

    I heard that as a child but haven’t heard it in years. I described it as being like listening to the radio but in my head.
