Pre-Sleep

Hello guys,

I was wondering if any of you get jerks and vivid dreams right before falling asleep?

I know it’s a common thing but is there a way to minimize it?

I like my sleep but sometimes I don’t look forward to that specific time when you’re half awake and half asleep.

Hope you guys are having a wonderful day

The jerks or "falling" feeling is you went to fast into REM sleep and your body jerks you awake. Which is a scary feeling I don't like it either 😂

Vivid dreams I don't mind. Nightmares I do. But I found a way to make my nightmares not be terrible. I play video games a few hours before bedtime. Makes the nightmares less scary.

I remember one dream in which I could fly like superman. But I couldn't control it and it was kind of scary. I would zip off in one direction and I was trying to stop myself and just ended up bouncing off people roofs till I grabbed a weather vane and then I woke up 😂

I know I'm pre-sleep, cause it's the first time I heard A&D members referred to as "any of you jerks". It made me do a double take. Time to get off to bed, laughing my *** off.
