I have been working overnights, while going to school in the day. There are 3 day stretches where I only get a few hours of sleep. I feel tired, but energetic at the same time. So when I lie down, my mind is racing. Almost like I start dreaming before I even sleep. This is when the explosion happens. It varies, sometimes its a metal type of bang, sometimes its a loud pop. Sometimes its voices yelling. Like others have said, I am glad to know I am not the only one
@legalizeit727 I am also glad to know it is not dangerous. When it happens, I am not even scared. Because I hear a gradual build up of noises to the bang. I can almost anticipate it. But in retrospect, I was a little concerned it was brain cancer or something. But from what I have researched, there is no physiological damage done!
Can't say mine is similar to this. Usually I'm lying down and I hear a loud scream coming out of nowhere (usually starts quiet then gets loud and fades rapidly) or I hear a gun shot and a loud slamming sound. Regardless, it's always quite unnerving when it happens.
I haven't had this for a while but wow when it happens it's quite something. Personally i experience it as a loud BOOOM but with no sound and a good punch on the head but with no pain or localised source (side of the head, top of the head, back of the head etc), like you just been bitch slapped by a ghost.
Yup, exactly like that. I get electric shocks down my arm when it happens. It occurs about 3-20 times a week now, sometimes with sleep paralysis. I am 30. I have been suffering from this for the last 6 months. Thank you for making this.
@Sovember Researchers actually think it's related to fatigue, which would make sense given how many insomniacs suffer from it. Bad news is, it might not all be psychological. It is PERCEPTUAL, but perception happens both at the psychological and neurological level. It's entirely possible that we just don't know the neurology behind the perceptual phenomenon.
@trkcommando a wave is the only way i can explain it. thats exactly what used to happen to me when i was a child. except it was more like people screaming and arguing with eachother. i look back and halfway believe that it could have been spiritual warfare or something like that. im glad to see im not the only one that experiences it.
Holy shit that was crazy. i would be laying down in my bed (not knowing i was asleep) and all of a sudden see a bunch of white and yellow flashing lights, followed by electricity. Before the lights happened, i would feel a light jab in my side. I dont think the jab was related but it might have been. Then i would wake up only to realize i was asleep before.
iv had this happen to me 5 times tonight, the fucked up images, the noise so loud it seems unrealistic that the intensity of the sensation fit within your head all i wanted to do was sleep for college i took some morphine but all that seems to have done is intensify the noise and now i dare not sleep
i still experience this shit from time to time. It peaked my curiosity to look into it after the other night when i was between awake/sleep stage. I heard a loud-ass crash like a car crashed in my house, so i ran into the other room and of course everything was fine. Another time, the fan in my room which i use as a white noise machine is not loud at all, but on an occasion i'll be falling asleep and the fan will sound like a tornado coming through my bedroom.
oh, same thing here. car crash/metal brushing/colliding noises..people talking loud... all of it was so damn loud! maybe it's stress induced or something.
i used to think i was a freak for this. im so glad to know im not the only one this happen to. it really sucks and its fucking up my sleep schedule. :(
I know Exploding Head Syndrome is a bitch. Pants shittingly terrifying loud noise in your head. This along with sleep paralysis are both brick-shitting horrors. Personally I only have occasional auditory hallucinations, where as I'm falling asleep a voice will whisper or yell my name. Happens for me only on a rare basis, and it occurs in about 15% of the population (and you can be perfectly sane).
You know, I used to wonder what the fuck was wrong with me until I stumbled upon the term "Exploding Head Syndrome." Needless to say, I'm really glad I'm not the only one in the world that has this weird shit happen to them.
forgive me boner for i have sinned. by having sex with a dead giraffe. and i put babies in gas chambers. and also ate the last jaffa cake and said i didnt
I also suffer from this, I found out that it existed today, but I've always had it. But it does not bother me much, it's just one scream a night and 1-2 horrible dreams of loud, terrible noices (that goes on for a while after I wake up) and undescribable weird patterns a year.
*let me rephrase-covering my ears kicking and screaming in my dream, not in real life. I wake up to find i havent moved at all but in my lucidness i know i'm dreaming but i dont really know if i'm actually kicking and stuff, sometimes i feel like i'm trapped in my dream and will never awake from the terrible noise :-\
i've just recently had this happen to me twice, mine is a REALLY Loud ringing noise that gets louder and louder, but in my case its a lucid dream, i know i'm dreaming and i try to wake myself up from it, but even during my lucidness i'm covering my ears and kicking and screaming cuz the sound is unbearably loud, it takes time for me to wake myself up tho- anyone else experience this?than my dreams followed after falling back asleep are always nightmares
@rhysbonney All of mankind has sinned in one way or another. Even the ones who [think they] are perfect. Even the ones from millions of years ago who only had the technology of spears and stones. That's what Jesus Christ died for. So that we can lay our sinful nature on his death. So that our sins can be written off. If you still disagree, ask God on judgement day, where our lives will be played back for the entire history of man to see. Except the parts that were forgiven.
@BurritoBazooka I sin all the time, I was just messing. I'm a massive sinface. Fortunately however, I do not believe in the concept of sinning or the moral constraints of any religion. I will not say I do not believe in god but I will say, if the big guy is up there, he's cool with what i'm up to because i'm a top chap.
@rhysbonney@narrowgatevisions haha, okay... I don't believe it works like that, but I don't believe either that your insomnia is as a result of sinning (what narrowgatevisions said). Otherwise we'd all be having insomnia and other bad conditions. I don't think Jesus has much reason to punish us in this life for sinning. That's why there is a judgement day.
i've been hearing loud noises in my head since i was a little girl. i'm just now at age 26 finding out what the hell it is!! i get electrical sensations (sounds?) and flashing lights then my heart starts pounding. it always happens when i'm just about to fall asleep. if i hear a loud noise or a door closing i see flashing lights. maybe it's a seizure disorder.
I have this. Its not like this for me, I'll be almost asleep when a startling noise goes of in my head and its not very long its usually like a gun shot or trash can lids banging together or something. It then wakes me up and i get startled then go back to sleep.
Hey, i want to say thanks, and great video! i thoroughly like this vid, as far as filmatography skills, content and creativity (praises). a part from that, i must say it was useful in my understanding of this disorder... im writing an essay on exploding head syndrome (i dont have it myself) and i have a great interest in the science of sleep. you and the comments to this vid have been really useful, and you seem to be an intelligent individual :) altho tormented... id love to know more o.o
what can i do to calm down and get back to sleep after it happens? it feels as if im too sleepy to stay awake but all my instincts are telling me not to fall asleep no matter what. also when im somewhere in between, sleep paralyzes kicks in
I'm not sure that this is what I have after reading all of your posts, Mine is very violent and throws my entire body into 1 quick convulsion, no faces or demons or anything just a high pitch ringing that gets louder and louder than a sound of a huge electrical discharge and my body jumps. The last two nights they have been getting stronger and stronger. The one last night made me feel I had whiplash and tonights made me bite my tongue. Do any of you have this?
What your describing definitely sounds like exploding head syndrome. The faces and such in my film are more representatives of the hallucinations i suffer from and the ferocious vividness of my dreams.
@rhysbonney Do you take any medications for this? The last two nights I was able to sleep without the shock but what I did was sleep in the living room at a 90 degree angle and the tv on with the volume louder than the ringing in my ears.
i have the same problem , but has anyone else ever felt something pull them while experiencing it like a hand....on the ankle >.>?
great video on describing how random it is and the feeling of it ,tho the real life feeling is bijillion times more then this , but a video could never describe it lol :)
I have this aswell. I hear footsteps and voices in some weird language, over some eery tense music, then the footsteps get faster and instantly these terrifying faces appear around me, along with screams and this terrifying music. I now get sleep paralysis which for me is just a more realistic interpretation of what I experience with EHS, and was told it was most likely from the irregular sleep patterns I have because of EHS which is frustrating.
the feeling from the video is great for ppl who never had it ,times the feeling you get from the video by a bijillion and youll know how it really feels to get it lol
great video :D on how to explain the feeling and randomness it has , love the video
@xXpinayXx: I was kinda afraid too at first, my only cure is to avoid stress, fatigue or plain exhaustion, but when it happens, you have to make it a reflex of associating what's happening with something benign, completely harmless and try to wake up/open your eyes as soon as possible...then, just relax, there's nothing else going to happen to you, think of something else for a while - like your next day, what you have to do and well, do whatever you usually do before sleeping.
@xXpinayXx just try to calm down when you experience it, i know its hard cuz sometimes you think you are in pain but you are not, just breath and it will go away.
Can someone explain to me what exactly is this? I dont suffer from it I just came across this video can you please explain it to me what is this what is going on thank you??
Pretty sure this happened to me a few mornings (I'm a night owl) ago, twice in the same night in fact. My sound was sort of a cross between a ringing, buzzing, and "zipping" sound, so kind of like "bbrrrzzZZZHHHHPPP!" I had just barely gotten to sleep, too, after getting around four hours of sleep the past 24 (I've read it can be triggered by fatigue), and both times I woke up with my heart racing. Luckily I was able to actually go to sleep after the second one.
Thank You great video. I experience the explosions with light flash sometimes and actually feel their a blessing. Being really tired from working seems to bring them on. I see them as a quickening of the shutting down process to go to sleep. I've found that taking 1500mg of the amino acid L-Trytophane with 10 mg of melatonin will also cause explosions and earth quaking sounds in the head before falling asleep. Peace joy mercy grace and love in Lord Jesus Christ.
I'm so glad someone made this. I've suffered from this for awhile, and lately it's been getting a lot worse because of stress and insomnia. Trying to describe what the "explosions" are come off sounding like an exaggeration to other people who don't have it, but it is what it is. Great video!!
EHS is not something to be scared of. If you research you will find it is a common precursor to an out of body experience. So you could look on this positively and say you have a natural predisposition to inducing an OBE state. There are no physical effects from it because it is non-physical in nature. If you read the first chapter of Robert Monroe's book Journeys out of body you may notice some similarities. You can read it online.

Hoping this helps someone out there. I too have experienced - - just as I am nodding off. Found it terrifying, now not as much because I know what it is. Theories are that it is a zinc deficiency or blocked eustachian tube. Went to ear doctor and he said I had a partially blocked eustachian tube in one of my ears and also acid reflux. Gave me a prescription for a nasal spray and something for the reflux. Hoping like crazy that I experience some relief from this.
Cool video! I suffered from exploding syndrome frequently when I was younger, it scared the shit out of me! It used to happen during the day aswell as at night and it would always make me vision someone laughing very loud. As I got older it occured less and less. I'm now 28 and the last time it happened was about a year and a half ago.

I have this now and again, i remember the first time it happened i had to rush to the window because i thought a nearby house mustve had a gad explosion! lol!!
I just have to say...Well done. I suffer from this almost every night and have had it occur during the day before. It is more that horrifying. I think you've captured the confusion of it all very well. Are you a sufferer yourself?
I certainly am! Amongst other sleep based issues i also suffer badly from hallucinations, usually when trying to wake up or sleep or when very tired. Sometimes during the day but it is getting less common (but stronger) with age.
I iam suffering this from the age of 14 and i have to say its horrifying experience anyway!!!! Now i m 23 and just now i know whats my problem. I was not understood in my family and otherwise i never discussed it with my any friend, they would just dont understand his.
most important point i am making here is ...i suffer from exploding head syndrome precisely at that night in which i sleep with my left or right ear just rested directly on bed ( i.e. without pillow)....so i use a pillow to rest my upper skull and hanging the ear ....always. But when i forget, my night just becomes hell. I suffer from multiple attacks, in this time i cant do any movement.
You have to be brave enough to hang on when it comes....dont amplify it with your thinking.
Mulletduck is right - good pace, plus great rhythm and technical proficiency. Like the story telling too. Plus the use of sound. Yup. This one's a winner.
Enjoyed the film very much so! You have a great eye for the cinematography and the editing felt new and original! The sound also complimented the piece too good pace and overall very watchable. Well done!x

I'm so glad someone made this. I've suffered from this for awhile, and lately it's been getting a lot worse because of stress and insomnia. Trying to describe what the "explosions" are come off sounding like an exaggeration to other people who don't have it, but it is what it is. Great video!!

EHS is not something to be scared of. If you research you will find it is a common precursor to an out of body experience. So you could look on this positively and say you have a natural predisposition to inducing an OBE state. There are no physical effects from it because it is non-physical in nature. If you read the first chapter of Robert Monroe's book Journeys out of body you may notice some similarities. You can read it online.

Hoping this helps someone out there. I too have experienced - - just as I am nodding off. Found it terrifying, now not as much because I know what it is. Theories are that it is a zinc deficiency or blocked eustachian tube. Went to ear doctor and he said I had a partially blocked eustachian tube in one of my ears and also acid reflux. Gave me a prescription for a nasal spray and something for the reflux. Hoping like crazy that I experience some relief from this.

Cool video! I suffered from exploding syndrome frequently when I was younger, it scared the shit out of me! It used to happen during the day aswell as at night and it would always make me vision someone laughing very loud. As I got older it occured less and less. I'm now 28 and the last time it happened was about a year and a half ago.

I just have to say...Well done. I suffer from this almost every night and have had it occur during the day before. It is more that horrifying. I think you've captured the confusion of it all very well. Are you a sufferer yourself?

@EuterpesTwin
I certainly am! Amongst other sleep based issues i also suffer badly from hallucinations, usually when trying to wake up or sleep or when very tired. Sometimes during the day but it is getting less common (but stronger) with age.

most important point i am making here is ...i suffer from exploding head syndrome precisely at that night in which i sleep with my left or right ear just rested directly on bed ( i.e. without pillow)....so i use a pillow to rest my upper skull and hanging the ear ....always. But when i forget, my night just becomes hell. I suffer from multiple attacks, in this time i cant do any movement.
You have to be brave enough to hang on when it comes....dont amplify it with your thinking.

I've had this since I was a child. Sometimes it happens when I'm awake, going about with my day, but very rarely.

I don't get it, does that happen when you're sleeping with exploding head syndrome ?

Nice, but I don't think "Hypnagogia" is a condition. It's more like a category.

Yeah its more of a state, your right, i just dont know what the actual condition is called.

Mulletduck is right - good pace, plus great rhythm and technical proficiency. Like the story telling too. Plus the use of sound. Yup. This one's a winner.

Enjoyed the film very much so! You have a great eye for the cinematography and the editing felt new and original! The sound also complimented the piece too good pace and overall very watchable. Well done!x

Good job editing- cutting to D n B is harder than it looks, especially with blue screen and dual video streams!.
