Very funny this made me laugh
Lol
I mean... the sign tried to warn you
ahard-daysnight foolish to ignore the Almighty sign

I think I'm the only one but I really like the sensation of falling for some reason.
I don't remember the exact reason, but it was something like your heart rate slows down so fast that your brain send adrenaline shooting, and you start feeling that falling sensation
@@_randomgamer_ same here
It’s amazing
personally i’d rather be flung into my roof while i’m sleeping instead of having sleep paralysis
Facts
Yes, sometimes you get used to it and it’s kinda fun
@@kj6597 that’s a Russian thing
Am glad that someone mention sleep paralysis godd im tired of itt ...Everytime i have it i feel like okk soo god is still not in a mood of killing me 😭
@@varshasharma5593 you always have it but sometimes when ur awake
Narrator: Scientists aren’t entirely sure why the body does this.
Me: So why am I watching this video?
that means scientist aren't 100% sure...
🤔🤔🤔
@@Aankitasdailyvlog ☺️☺️☺️
Yep... 😁
🤣😂😂
My body: Shutting down
My brain: WELCOME TO WRESTLEMANIA!
Thats actually pretty funny
Facts
😂
10/10 actually laughed at this
The top moment is when you wake up like the undertaker🤣
Short answer: The side of you brain that controls your voluntary muscle movements is still active and trying to gain control over the sleeping side of your brain.
The video is funnier
Thx
When I feel getting it, few seconds before I feel like I’m falling or something is falling to my head like it’s about to smash my head
Thanks man
Xedric playz thanks for saving me time 😂
I’ve always learned that you jump up because your brain went into panic mode after you fall asleep too fast. When you sleep too fast, your brain thinks you’re dying, so it has to rush you awake to stay awake.
This is exactly how it seems the way you explained it.
I hope its not causing any harm because I have this
So my brain basically made me have a small seizure to get me up? 👀
I know I got that off of snapchat
7.
Fun story: The complete opposite happens in my brain shortly after I wake up, but as full on seizures. So my asleep portion of my brain isn't completely awake, while the awake part fights to stay up. I only recently started feeling warning signs and have found it actually feels like my brain is shifting into a dream, but actually a memory (since the seizures started @ 24 years old, I lost a big portion of my memories)
It was diagnosed as "nocturnal epilepsy" for any curious
Because you have to be “falling” asleep

True story: I once accidently punched my girlfriend in the face while sleeping. Suffice to say, she wasn't very happy.
I shoved my foot in my sisters mouth
My grandma accidentally bit my sister while she was sleeping

@@tsukasayugi5520 hahahaahahahahaha
yusf hazhar took it a little too far 😬
Is it just me or does it sometimes feel like my bed is spinning when my eyes are closed trying to go to sleep
That's stress or anxiety my friend, either of the 2 can cause that effect when closing your eyes or trying to sleep.
Ok has anybody ever been tickled while they were sleeping and couldn’t move to make it stop i know its sleep paralysis but if somebody has had that happen to them i just wanna know see i used to be super Christian and I thought it was a demon tickling me idk why i thought that and i asked my mom she said she that had happened to her too she told me it’s probably an angel tickling me (my great grandmother) because my mother said her grand ma had came to her once i wont tell a whole story about supernatural lol but i used to live with my granny and she has a super old house filled with angels and demons so thats why i thought i was getting tickled by a demon lol
Im sorry if this story is all over the place
@random idiot same I'm scared
Can probably be a sign of low iron and low/high blood pressure
I’m just laying there about to fall asleep and it suddenly feels like I’m falling incredibly fast even though I’m not moving. One of the worst feeling ever.
I might be weird but I kinda like that feeling
I think everyone gets that. It’s the worst when you react to it, and then you actually fall asleep. But it’s legit the scariest thing.

My guy
This happened to me man ;-;
That happens on me when i stare on something when im sleepy
I feel the same
This has to be the most surreal feeling, it always shakes me whenever I get them
It’s really unpleasant, for me it normally comes from my leg and shakes the tiredness out of me.
Agent my heart rate goes up so much too
@@zetch972 same it happens to me multiple times a week. I start dreaming in a half awake half asleep state then I kick my leg and I can never remember the dream that I was experiencing
Usually my whole body shakes sometimes waking me up, and then I go back to sleep quickly.
@@sethnavarrette9011 same did you find out what it was
Me in my dreams: falls off a cliff, Building
My body: engaging jumpy mode
I was running from zombies 🧟♀️
@@slut4jesus144 ...
I literally get these multiple times a night and was low key convinced I was dying. Thank you for clearing that up.
Is this permanent or temporary
@@hypermemes8068 joe
think this might be true, Whe they say the brain things your dying.. everytime I get those it feels like Im falling deeeeper and deeper and deeper in a dark sleep it really feels like im dying.. Im fully aware of whats going on but at the same time I feel like if I dont wake up now, theres no coming back.. like im slowly dying in my sleep.. thank God until now I was always able to fight it off and jump up always out of breath and always trying to realize where Im at and if Im alive at all.. everything including myself feels soo unrealistic like im literaly trying to realize if Im alive..
When this happens to me, I’m always dreaming about falling off a cliff, or just a high place in general. Either way, it’s scary af!
Same boi
Same
Me one time dreamed that I was falling from a building....& when opened my eyes saw that I was in bed 😑😑😂😂
it happens to me when im a wake going to sleep it feels like falling when it about to happen
AJ H. Its normal,, in that case it's like rolling on the bed untill youre about to fall off the bed

Is the comment section for script writing now?
When i fall in my dreams like off a cliff i can feel it, but how does my body know what it feels like to free fall if ive never free falled?
Same reason your body knows what it would feel like to put you hand in fire.
It doesn’t, it’s just guessing based on lesser versions of the same thing.
@@PleasentDddd makes sense i guess
@@PleasentDddd so what you’re telling me is don’t free fall because if I dream about free falling my body will know what it’s like, and my dream will consist of me free falling with no parachute and be absolutely terrified?
@@nate87799 Something like that.

Exactly u close your eyes then suddently you feel like your falling then almost have a heart attack
Jackson The enderman that doesn’t happen to me, I just suddenly wake up after drifting to sleep. But sometimes when I’m like walking it feels like for a split I suddenly sat down.

I literally just woke up because of me doing this. Is youtube spying on me now? lol
Same I was wondering this last night
No its the infographics show thats watching you.
In short, yes. In long, also yes
I never remember what I’m dreaming when it happens, but I always have the sensation of falling when it happens.
It always reminds me when I used to get something similar when trying to fall asleep after a day on roller coasters, but even without starting to drift off I would have this rushing vibration sound/feeling in my head and a slightly weightless or dizzy feeling in my body; it was always gone by morning.

This hasn’t happened to me in a while but when it does I will start falling like kinda in my dream but still awake and it’s like a jump scare
Anyone else falls in their sleep? I’ve had that many times..
thats why its called "fall" asleep

Looks like?
that happens to me too but it happens to me when i fall in my dreams
Do you have sleep paralysis??
I get it too
its cuz u almost saw me so i gotta activate shock hide
I get a sensation of slipping, like a cartoon character slipping on a banana peel
I do too
Same. It literally makes me wake up to catch my balance. Weird.

Infographics: Again, anatomy is cool. 😎
Am I the only one that has not had this happen? I’m really confused
Lucky you
Me too. I’ve had that weird hum before I fall asleep though. Same as my mum and sister.
You feel like your gazing through your bed
This is the most annoying feeling. And also scary. Also im early :D
I thought this was only me😂 I feel like my soul left my body and as soon I realize I jump and freak out
Same
I've experienced this numerous times. I always remember what happend just before the "jump". One time I felt like I was tripping over a rock, another time I felt like I was on a railroad track with a train approaching, and the weirdest I've experienced was, I was sitting in a chair in my apartment, and started to doze off, then I felt myself going out of body and rushing towards the nearest wall, so I jumped out of the chair.
I've had only one lucid flying dream....was around 13 years old,
would love to have another 🥺🥺

My body: woah I’m falling this is crazy
haha
Sol Knipp yah i kinda dream that im falling but im not but i also am
Sol Knipp are you writing a script?
I have this but I also hear a loud explosion sound. It's called exploding head syndrome
True absolutely true y'all it sound like a nuke is going off that causes beads of sweat and a sense of paranoia until the next explosion.
*Ive never had this before I fall asleep, but..*
I sometimes have that weird short “hum” when I fall asleep. I’ve heard my mum and younger sister do the same.
"It's been a looooong day at work."
Hahaha!
I’m the 30-40% that doesn’t jump
I had know idea this was “common”
Edit: I forgot to say “anatomy is cool!!!”
Ty for all the likes!!!
Excuse me for Being imperfect yeah same
Same I did not know it was a common thing. But thankfully I don't have it
Same that's really weird I didn't know that was a thing
same.. never had sleep paralysis or anything either
I don't jump, I only jump when I force myself out of a dream I don't like because I don't like what's happening, and it's not really a jump, it's more of a cringe
Me: About to fall asleep
Phone: Infographic Show has uploaded a new video.
Me: AHHH, (dies on the floor)
I cannot sleep on my back *specifically* *because* of hypno jerks..seriously it happens EVERY SINGLE TIME I fall asleep on my back..I *have* to always sleep on my side or stomach..if I do that, I have no jerks at all..so now I'm really curious what functions differently in my brain because of my body position..you've brought me more questions than answers 🤷
this happens to me ONLY at school, never any where else
Yeah after i have been drooling on my desk for about 50 seconds 😂
It only happens to me at home
Yeah I think it happens more often if you know you shouldnt sleep
Hi ThIs Is YoUr MoThEr TiMmY!
True
When you’re in school and you’re body jumps up and people look at you like you’re someone who needs help.
relatable, felt so embarrassed
Was sitting on my leg was dead quiet every one silently working i stood up and feel straight over was hilarious my leg was completely numb
Just happened to me today. I took a short nap in class and 3 minutes later, I wake up jumping out my seat.
Sleep: Approaching my paradise
My body: Wait, I missed a couple of dance steps.
When I dream, sometimes if I like fall off of something, my whole body jumps, like I just got jumpscared.
Same!!
To me it feels almost like falling. Like if you were walking and suddenly you take a step and instead of stepping on the ground your foot just keeps going down so you panic. It's been so long since I've experienced it but I'll never forget what it feels like
My heart starts beating like crazy, when it happens.
Alex Petersen after I feel a slimy sensation on my skin.
Yup. I break into a sweat too
This happens to me all the time. I’d start falling asleep and then I’d feel myself “fall”. My hands and legs will land on the bed like I’ve fallen from a cliff. Any time I have these, it causes my heart rate to go up and start sweating. It’s scary sometimes.
I do this. I don’t jump out of bed. Right before I go to sleep it hits me. I’m glad I came across this.
you ever see a comment and think "i shouldve said that"?
yeah u got me thinking it rn :/
Yeah every time
Yep all the time
No, definitely not with your comment, but cool story bro.
No, i make comments then have to edit or erase.
My brother did the “twitch” for 25 minutes.
Yea dude, I think that’s called a seizure
@Sqxare yeah it's called death
@Sqxare Yeah some people can have a seizure for almost an hour. Causes brain damage but I mean.
It's a cool dance tho.
Personally I’d say it’s muscles relaxing. This happens to me when I’m still awake but I lay still for a long time. Happens in my sleep too!
I have this happen quite often, its really aggravating.
So this is why i jump when there is a flying object almost hitting my face in my dream, huh.
No.
Mine is always slipping while I'm walking down a set of stairs.
When I get them I feel like I’m falling. Is that where the term falling asleep comes from?
Same
I feel it too
Same
I thought the video is about dreaming that you're falling, and when you're about to land, your body jumps...
I'm recovering from back surgery and the meds I'm on have increased the already frequent number of times this happens to me. It's hindering my recovery and actually causing more sciatic pain with every passing day
When my head is down in class sometimes I just suddenly jump and I don’t look up because I don’t know if people are lookin at me 😭
Everytime I was at school, I jumped when I woke up so I tried playing it off Everytime 😅.
Same thing
Same once I was falling asleep in class and all of a sudden I jumped happens while I'm also in bed if my feels like your going to fall off.
happens to me which is why im scared of sleeping after end of year exams because i think theyll laugh at me :'(
Happened to me in class. I was tired so I had a short nap and rested my head on my shoulder and 3 minutes later, I wake up jumping off my chair.
Me:”Mom can we get a trampoline?”
Mom:”We already have a trampoline at home”
Trampoline at home:
XD
M E lol
You: "Time to finally get some shut eye."
Your body: "Aye, you've got stuff to do, wake the f*ck up!

*When you drop your phone on your face and jump awake.*
90 comments and 80 of them are “FIRST!!”

I found literally 0 comments saying “FIRST!!” 🤦🏻♂️
It happens to me, but I dont jump, I feel like I'm falling THEN wake up.
Raves thats what hapens to me too
That happens to ma as well sometimes I couldn't sleep because of this
Me: About to fall asleep
My leg:
*_One time I had this because I had a dream about falling down concrete stairs._*
I know why we forget a lot of dreams after a while...
But... Why do I remember a lot of them for ever???
Avery’s Games I fell like I forget them right after I wake up and then later I remember them
I do that sometimes my legs jump but I'm still in the bed
Same
@J P lol
When I have this It feels like when you have a falling down dream and just jump up
Me finally gets to go to sleep:
My brain: You Spin Me Right Round
Well this help me once I have dream incorporation
I literally had a dream about me diving into a pool and took a breathe in the dream in real life and I stopped breathing for 2 minutes and when I woke up I forgot how to breathe for 10 seconds before I felt my heart pumping intensely
The FangedGamer if you stop breathing you’ll pass out, once passed out, you’ll start breathing again.
Peter Griffin savage
I like to breath under water in dreams. I never seem to realise that's not normal
James Nash or falling while dreaming, it’s quite a rush
Really? Ur dreaming of swimming and taking a dive for 2 minutes in real life you just hold your breath for 2 minutes impressive i only hold my breath when im awake and my longest record is only 50 seconds
Does anyone else want to say something in their dream but you can’t and you say it out loud in real life? Or you hear people talking irl when you are sleeping and you want to reply but you can’t? Or is it just me
Haha yesssssss. That's usually when I'm kind of in between awake and asleep, but dreaming. I want to say something, but part of me is conscious that I'm dreaming and it doesn't matter, but I say it anyway and I end up speaking it out loud IRL.
That sounds like sleep paralysis
Yes absolutely.
This could be a connection with the after life u dream of luved ones that have passed away nice video respect from Macedonian in Australia
I have experienced this by walking down the stairs in my house in my dream. One step caused me to literally jump out of my bed with such intensity and hit my head on a plastic object on my floor where I fell out of my bed.
My experience with these have been life saving. They've kept me from falling asleep driving before (like at the end of a 15 hour work day).
When im tired my body just like shakes for no reason lol
That's likely a vitamin deficiency. I used to have the same thing until I talked to my physician about it. Mine was pretty bad and was effecting my ability to get to sleep. The particular vitamin slips my mind right now but I started taking supplements and it stopped.
Me: finally... some rest...
Brain: OH NO WE’RE FALLING
That fraction of a second where your back muscles relax so much that your brain perceives it as a falling sensation. And then its over. You're welcome sleep scientists!
