Exploding head syndrome.

Hey guys, I have been reading a lot of threads lately after being away for a long while - experiencing information overload like every time i return... lot's of subjects racking my brain at the moment.

Anyways, I stumbled across the term for an experience i regularly got a few months ago (when i was stressed out and quite depressed to be quite honest - thankfully, i am a lot happier nowadays).
exploding head syndrome, according to wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exploding_head_syndrome)!
wikipedia, which as you probably know by now; isn't known for its accuracy all of the time - but this sounds legit to me...

"Note that exploding head syndrome does not involve the head actually exploding."

pretty interesting i thought.

:chuckle:

i have it too, like a bang or gunshot noise waking me up instantly, so annoying when you have insomnia and this at the same time

yeah, indeed, i also went through a stage of insomnia.

Some of that information sounds slightly unreliable (such as use of the term 'exploding head syndrome'), though I have expirienced some things similar to this as a symtom of hypnogogia.

Well, I have had experiences of both, and EHS is in it's own league. They are certainly two very different things I believe.

I've had this a couple of times before. One time, I had to ask my parents if they had heard a loud sound because I didn't know what it was.

Made me laugh a lot. You can find all sorts of interesting things on Wikipedia... like the 6 point poo scale with illustrations.
