Has this ever happened to you? You're drifting off to sleep, and then all of a sudden feels like you're on a roller coaster ride, you feel like you're spinning around and swooping all over the place, until finally you fall asleep. It sure does happen to me alot.


Then theres also nights when I fall asleep, and it feels like I'm falling out of bed, I wake up and brace myself for the fall but find that I didn't move at all...

I'm not complaining though, it's sort of fun but does anyone know what causes it?

I konw I have felt like that after a few too many to drink!!

I don't konw what causes it, but I usually feel like I'm running really fast and then i fall over or fall off a kerb (in my half dream state), and then I jump and wake myself up, and someimes end up shouting out loud!

It's all fun and games though!!

I did that a couple nights in a row last week. It is strange. Like being drunk or on drugs.

I have been drunk once in my life and that was last month. LOL! And it was very much like that. LOL!!

I slip and fall in my sleep all the time. Drives me nuts! LOL! But it annoys me more when my husband does it and wakes me up. LOL!

I uh...twitch when i sleep. that count? xD

I've done that, quite a bit actually. I imagine it's a normal part of falling asleep, and actually I've heard that if you do that as you're falling asleep you actually sleep deeper and wake more refresh. I don't know if that's true or not though.

Probably has something to do with the inner ear and your sense of balance.

That's cool, I'm not alone. Also, one time I was dozing off to sleep on my couch, and then I saw this image of some zombie-ghost-thingie eating my leg and I jumped up screaming

Yeah just like my thread kinda the same feeling. I know what you mean I read somewhere that, that feeling is like your body going to sleep it's real complicated even I don't understand.

No mark, that doesn't count

I think we all do that. Well most people that I know do.

lol yeah, sometimes I have this roller coaster feeling, too.
