Does anyone else get that feeling when you are almost asleep and you suddenly think you are going to fall down a hole and you jump suddenly......or is it just me?
This is a common phenomenon experienced by most people at some time or another. You are just slipping off to sleep when suddenly you feel you are falling, whether it's into the bed, off a building, into a cylinder or some other variation. You awake with a start just before you hit the bottom. There was an old theory that if you hit the bottom, it meant you were dead, but of course no one came back to say if this was actually true.
