Why We Feel Like Falling Before Sleep

Why We Feel Like Falling Before Sleep

Did you know that the sensation of falling when you're about to sleep is called a hypnagogic jerk? It's a common experience, often accompanied by a sudden muscle twitch or a feeling of tripping. Scientists believe it occurs due to the transition from wakefulness to sleep, where the brain misinterprets relaxation as the beginning of falling. Interestingly, this phenomenon has been linked to evolutionary instincts, possibly a remnant of our ancestors' survival mechanisms to prevent falls from trees or cliffs. So, the next time you feel like you're plummeting into the void, know it's just your brain playing tricks on you!

Printing Quiz

If your printer mentions the term justify, they mean:

1: To prove or show to be just, correct, or reasonable.
2: To give or be a good reason for something.
3: Text that is evenly distributed between the left and right margins.

Definition: When you justify text in printing and design, the spaces between words and glyphs or letters are stretched or compressed to align the left and right ends of consecutive lines of text.
