Mostly, sleep is a totally unremarkable event. But a lot of us have at least once experienced some bizarre behaviors at night.

I decided to decode some of the weirdest things that start happening when we close our eyes.

1. Falling
It is also known as a hypnagogic jerk. It tends to happen when you have just fallen asleep. When you dream your body is paralyzed. Sometimes you can start dreaming before your body turns into the ‘sleeping mode’. Your brain enters into sleep cycles more aggressively, but your body hasn’t caught up. With these hypnagogic jerks, you have a dream like falling off a cliff, falling from the sky, or tripping.

2. Sleep paralysis
You want to wake up in the morning, but you realize you can’t even move a muscle or speak. This state can last for several minutes and it is extremely terrifying. In fact it is the opposite to what happens to your body during the hypnagogic jerks. Your brain wakes up before the paralysis which is typical of a deep sleep.

3. Sleepwalking
A lot of sleep-related behaviors are harmless. The most dangerous one among them is sleepwalking. You can even leave your house, walk into something or get behind the wheel. During the sleepwalking you are conscious enough for your body to move but not enough for your brain to be awake. That’s why you can remember nothing about it.

4. Sleeptalking
5 out of 100 adults talk while sleeping. Pillow talk-sessions usually last about 30 seconds. It usually happens during the first hours of sleep. Your body seems to be entering into the deep stage of sleeping but there are still some muscle tones to produce sounds or movements that may accompany your dreams.

5. Recurring dreams
In the course of dreaming your brain is trying to sort out some things. Recurring dreams happen when your brain wants to sort out some psychological issues.

6. Sleep s*ex
About 8 percent of adults reported some accidents of initiating s ex with a partner while asleep. This phenomenon is similar to sleepwalking. Your brain is not awake enough to be conscious. It is possible if you were dreaming about s ex before you went to bed.

7. Exploding head syndrome
Suddenly a person wakes up having a headache after having heard a loud noise. In reality nothing like that actually happened. It is a variation of a hypnagogic jerk. Your senses were turned on but your body is still paralyzed

This one happened to me as a child.

VERRRRRRRRRRRRY FRIGHTENING!!!!!!

I woke up and could not speak!
My parents took me to the doctor in THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT.
I drank some hot tea. . . went back to sleep.
When I woke up, my daddy was at my bedside. . . and he called my nickname "LOLLUS OGOME'. . . .?

I replied 'YES DADDY'?

He hugged me tightly and kissed me on the forehead.

My mom stood behind him. . .praising her 'God'!

I had no idea what had happened!

Lmao...Nigerians and funny superstitions.

few days ago, number one kinda happened to me while I was on bed. I dreamt I was training with my basketball and was about to fall down, I jerked up in real life, the sleep wasnt even deep yet.

number 4 happens to me sometimes and sometimes I'm aware of it but might not be able to stop myself



my yeye cousin will wake up sometimes and straight to the kitchen, he would bring out that his yeye pen1s and may even be pointing it at the pot of soup that's sleepwalking that thing dey vex me eh

I remember when one of my room mates fell from up bunk
