You're talking about what happens in the "hypnagogic state": the transition from wakefulness to sleep.
It's completely normal.
I usually do a very annoying full-body jerk just as I drift off, which wakes me up, then I go to sleep.
Once, I had a very unpleasant sleep-paralysis experience: I couldn't move, but I was certain some intruder was creeping up the stairs, and heading for the bedroom. There wasn't actually anyone there, and I slipped into sleep, but the feeling of utter terror I experienced is still vivid more than thirty years after the event.
Yep. You only think you're "fully awake". But when you focus on the voices sometimes you can wake up completely because you're only in the very beginning stages. Happens to me all the time
I'm not sure I would say yes cuz sometimes it seems like only 10 seconds but could be more, I've actually fell into this state just as quickly (at work for example, I remember closing my eyes about 10 seconds then full body jerked awake as if catching myself from falling - I wasn't really) but that's just me
I see, but im not sure that im even in this state haha.. maybe its my just my thoughts racing when im relaxing my mind?
notice that i dont HEAR it, i think it.
It pops up in my head, not that i acctualy hear it with my ears :)
Is it normal to have completly random thoughts when trying to sleep?
