Ever be about to fall asleep, but then a sharp sound happens and you perceive a flash of light? Like a touch of synesthesia, sometimes a simple creak of the floorboards sends a bolting flash across my mind.
It’s like a light quickly flickered on and off, or lightning in the distance,. It stops me from falling asleep at that exact moment, but thankfully it doesn’t keep me up for long. I figure it’s a reaction that kept our ancestors safe once upon a time, but for now it’s just an interesting phenomenon.
i haven’t had the visual part, but every now and then i get the sound part and it pisses me off every time, because when it happens i’m in that malleable almost-asleep stage so not only does it startle me awake but it also makes me have to lie there for like 20 seconds explaining to myself that no that wasn’t a real sound because if it was then the other people near me would have heard it and this thing has happened multiple times before come the fuck on
Begin to sleep, yes a little more, yes…
YOU FALL!
Now again about this error at work today…
