Is it normal that before i fall asleep, i'll "hear" people talking?

Okay, so often times when I go to bed I will start to hear random chatter and will often "hear" my name being called out. This is really pronounced when I'm tired and have had a busy day and doesn't happen if I haven't talked to many people and went to bed at around 9 pm.

    It sounds like a parasomnia. 6% of people suffer from one. I've heard my name called out too. But it didn't happen often. Maybe a few times in my life.

  • damn 9:00pm im up all night long yeah its normal i hear it all the time sometimes it wakes me up when im sleeping good and hard hell if anyone really wanted to they could sexual assault me in my sleep and i probably wouldn't even feel it,

    i've been robbed in my sleep before of a brand new mp3 player when i had over $400.00 dollars up by my head when i was sleeping and i was very pissed off about it you know why didn't they just take the money because i had just bought that and had it shipped to me from china later on i found out who stoled it.

    Maybe your body becomes a window to the paranormal and they try to possess you by calling your name out to get your attention, then jump into you.

    Your hearing heightens to super human ability when you are dozing off.

    It's not schizophrenia, it's not a parasomnia, and it sure as hell isn't "spirits roaming around". It's a perfectly normal part of the transition from wakefulness to sleeping.

    Have your house blessed. You may have a spirit roaming around.

    This happens to me too, right before I fall asleep I will hear voices, sounds and slowly start to slip into a dream-like state where I am still awake and aware but at the same time, I am starting to have dream-like sensations. Sometimes, the dream-like sensations will entail some form of yelling, calling of my name, or something that will, ever now and then, kind of scare me awake =/

    Sounds like schitzophrenia.
    See a doctor, it could worsen.
