Once when I was younger I woke up in the middle of the night and then I blinked and it was morning(about 4 hours had gone by). Has this happened to anyone before? Do you know what could have caused it?

Yeah, happens to me all the time...it's called 'falling asleep in the blink of an eye', or 'out like a light', or 'gone as soon as your head hits the pillow'.

The thing though is that I had my head up when I blinked and I wasn't laying down. It literally went from dark to light as soon as I finished blinking

never happened to me, but I heard many people telling about similar experiences.

Really? Did they say what caused it or what they thought it was?

Interesting loss of time. I had the opposite happen (gained time) where I blinked and found myself walking down a street that suddenly changed its environment to what seemed maybe 80 yrs earlier.. Same street but everything was not of my current time frame. the houses didnt even have garages and no cars or people anywhere. There was also dead silence. I have read this is termed the oz factor.. sort of a dimension shift. Then when I passed a certain point, in a blink everything was normal again. anyway even though I was gone almost 2 hours, only 15 minutes had passed on the clock when I returned home.

When I was little I used to have the whole time-passing-quickly-while-asleep thing happen a lot.
More recently, I once was in the middle of having a math problem explained to me, and I swear that not only did I not remember the entire explanation but my perception just jumped from the moment she started explaining it to the last 3 words instantly - the pencil jumped to the bottom of the page, everything around me had a discontinuity - it was just like half a minute had been edited out of the world. I was like WHAT just happened??? The person explaining the problem to me was confused...

Once when I was 14, my friend and I went to a gas station with a friend. We went into the store and got gas and a drink. Mind you we were not talking or anything, went into the store got the two soda right of the freezer and went to the counter and paid for gas and went outside and it was an hour later... her mother had not moved fromt he spot she was pumping gas and wasnt done yet-- yet it was an hour later..
