Exploding Head Syndrome?
Hi, very occasionally on the brink of falling asleep I hear things, I can't remember being at the brink of sleep because obviously you're half unconscious. I've heart my dad calling my name twice, a loud thump, and the weirdest one was when during my half unconscious day dreaming my friend (in my head) went to hit me in my groin and i jolted awake. It's happened before when something I'm picturing surprises me.
Is this all exploding head syndrome?
I don't believe you dream until you hit REM which is an hour or two into sleep... I wasn't even asleep

On those occasions that this has happened, have you tried to stay awake for a while even though you were tired and sleepy? Because sometimes when i attempt to stay awake when i'm tired and then go to sleep when i get REALLY tired and can no longer stay awake, i get similar experiences - really not very peasant.
Maybe if you go to sleep a little earlier than you normally do, you may not experience this.

I went exactly what your going through. Yes it is exploding head syndrome. Just don't think about being afraid to sleep because of it it will make it worse. So think of something happy and you won't have bad nightmares or hearing things. Hope this helped bye.
