Exploding Head Syndrome

[UltraBudgie]

I have terrible sleep terrors. Used to feel like I got shocked by electricity when I was about to fall asleep. Now it’s mostly instead of falling asleep it’s like getting a brief anxiety attack and or jumping up and gasping for breath. Never heard of this exploding part though.

the gasping for breath sounds perhaps like apnea? perhaps that is related to sleep posture? i have had sleep paralysis episodes that correlated to apnea. and others that didn't. also perhaps something like sensory processing disorder.

as well as that maypole / merry-go-round / fortuna's wheel / riemann surface thingie sirius is talking about.
