eight strange things that can happen
when you sleep the human brain is so
complex that we've never been 100% sure
we understand everything about it even
when they think they have the answer to
something researchers are still cautious
about their findings and this fact
especially applies to the mystery that
is the sleeping brain sure we have a
measured understanding of sleep cycles
thanks to fMRI scans but we still don't
know why certain things happen and when
it comes to sleep syndromes and
phenomena the mystery deepens precisely
because there are no set answers for why
the sleeping brain works when it's
healthy before we begin this video don't

one hypnagogic jerk
hypnagogic jerk also known as hypnic
jerk sleep start sleep twitch night
start or my clonic jerk occurs when a
person's body twitches as they begin to
fall asleep before you start dreaming
your body is usually paralyzed so it
doesn't act out the dream but on some
occasions
you might start dreaming before your
body is fully unplugged during a
hypnagogic jerk your body might react to
a sudden movement like falling or
tripping like with anything involving
the complexities of the brain
researchers aren't sure why this
happened

number two sleep paralysis for centuries
cultures around the world have tried to
explain this phenomenon using
supernatural answers basically it
happens when the mind wakes up during
REM sleep when the body is at its most
relaxed to the point of being paralyzed
but researchers only know when it
happens not why today it's believed that
one in four people will experience sleep
paralysis
symptoms include breathlessness
inability to move or speak a sense of
dread and in some cases hallucinations
sleep paralysis can be extremely
frightening and it occurs when someone
is temporarily unable to speak or move
when they wake up scientists suggest
that sleep paralysis occurs when a
person is passing through the stages of
being awake and being asleep when some
people experience sleep paralysis they
may feel pressure on their chest or even
a sense of choking it can occur when
someone is falling asleep or just as
they are waking up there are many
different factors that may be linked to
sleep paralysis these factors include a
lack of sleep certain mental conditions
the use of certain medications substance
abuse and more if you experience sleep
paralysis you should speak to your
doctor to get to the root of the issue
and find out what is causing your sleep
paralysis your doctor may recommend
adjusting your sleep schedule while
asking specific questions about your
health to rule out the possibility of
any other sleep conditions number three
sleepwalking this disorder involves
waking up in the middle of the night and
doing all sorts of activities it's a
terrifying affliction because the person
doesn't remember that they did it and in
some cases they can hurt themselves the
causes of sleepwalking are a mystery
you're more propensity be a sleepwalker
if it runs in your family but
researchers still don't understand how
or why it originates in the brain have
you experienced any of these strange
sleep related phenomena keep watching
for some even more strange things that
can happen to us while we're asleep
number four sleep talking also known as
somniloquy this is a disorder where
sleeping person talks the things they
say can range from mumbling - shouting -
long and complicated rants like with
most sleep disorders we know when it
happens during the sleep cycle but we
still don't understand what triggers it
other than hereditary reasons
number-5 Nocturnals sleep-related
eating-disorder NS re d also known as
sleep eating this is a type of
sleepwalking that's closely tied to a
person's conscious wants and desires for
food it's considered to be both a sleep
disorder and eating disorder because the
person is fulfilling a desire they
suppress while they're awake like with
sleepwalking the person doesn't realize
they're eating and they can't remember
any of it the next day
nocturnal sleep related eating disorder
is similar to other sleeping disorders
such as restless leg syndrome or even
sleepwalking this sleep disorder most
often begins in a person's 30s and can
be caused by anxiety or extreme stress
although scientists are still unable to
determine the underlying causes sleep
clinics which have studied this disorder
state that this nighttime eating usually
occurs during Delta sleep which is a
deep sleep which occurs right before REM
sleep begins number 6 night terror the
difference between a night terror and a
nightmare is that a night terror
involves specific actions night terrors
involve screaming panic sleepwalking and
thrashing around on the bed like most
sleep disorders it's believed to be
congenital however no one understands
why it happens other than the fact that
it gets inherited and it's mostly
children who experience it there are
many different symptoms associated with
night terrors in children common
symptoms include shouting quickened
heartbeat and breathing thrashing
sweating and more night terrors occur
why a person is in a deep sleep
the person experiencing the night
terrors does not usually have any memory
of the night terror the next day night
terrors are not dreams but are rather a
sudden reaction to a person's
experiences as he or she transitions
from one stage of sleep to another stage
of sleep night sweats typically occur
roughly two to three hours after a
person has fallen asleep this is when
sleep moves from non REM sleep to
lighter
REM sleep this transition from non REM
sleep to lighter
REM sleep is usually a smooth transition
however in cases where a person
experiences night terrors he or she can
become extremely frightened during this
transition
resulting in night terrors night terrors
occur in only about 3 to 6 percent of
children things that can cause night
terrors include stress not enough sleep
adapting to a new sleep environment
certain medications and more although
there is no treatment for night terrors
there are certain things parents can do
to try to prevent them this includes
reducing a child stress creating a
relaxing bedtime routine ensuring a
child is getting enough rest and more
although adults can experience night
terrors they are more common in children
if you or your child begins to
experience night terrors speak to your
doctor to find out what may be causing
the night terrors and what you can do to
prevent them number 7
exploding head syndrome this painless
syndrome involves a person hearing an
explosive noise before they fall asleep
it can sometimes feel like an explosion
is taking place inside the person's head
it's considered a type of sleep disorder
and an unusual type of hallucination
that happens to people who are in
between being asleep and awake the
causes are unknown
scientists are unsure what causes
exploding head syndrome although some
suggest that it is possible that it's
associated with minor temporal lobe
seizures some scientists also theorize
that exploding head syndrome may be
caused by shifts of middle ear
components other causes of exploding
head syndrome include stress or anxiety
when a person experiences an attack they
do not feel any pain but may experience
shortness of breath due to their
increased heart rate some people also
state that they see flashes of bright
light during an episode exploding head
syndrome most commonly affects people
over the age of 50 number 8 out-of-body
experience
OBE while this isn't a sleep disorder
it's still interesting to note an OBE
involves the feeling of floating or
observing one's body from the outside
out-of-body experiences are unrelated to
sleep disorders researchers classify it
as a disassociative experience with a
psychological and neurological cause it
has nothing to do with the spirit
leaving the body and it's most likely
due to a temporary brain malfunction
Hines 2003 the human body is a
mysterious and often puzzling thing
sometimes our bodies do things that we
just can't explain and when we're
sleeping we're in our most vulnerable
States
there are all sorts of odd things that
our bodies can do while we're sleeping
some of these things can be explained
while others not so much from
sleepwalking to sleep talking to
out-of-body experiences and everything
in between there is quite an air of
mystery about what is going on in our
brains when we are sleeping it can be a
little bit terrifying and even creepy to
think about but as modern technology and
medicine evolves maybe we'll be able to
get some answers to these questions if
you notice that your sleeping patterns
have changed or that you have developed
a sleeping disorder but are not sure
what is causing it speak to your doctor
try to reduce the amount of caffeine you
drink and make sure that you are getting
adequate rest every night remember our
bodies need rest sleep rejuvenates us
and helps us recover after a long day if
you notice any strange changes to your
sleep cycle speak to your doctor about
what you can do to get it back on track
what strange things have you done while
you are asleep let us know in the
