Does anyone in this community suffer from this horrible thing (yes, it's real and not made-up. Search it up!)? It is one of the worst ways to wake up in the morning, I swear... And I experience it SO often (and it's always a REALLY LOUD door slam that I hear).

I don't have it but when do you hear it? like what are you doing at that time when it occurs?

I hate this, drives my husband nuts because I wake up and want him to go search the house, even though we know it's just me. :(
Do you find your head painful afterwards?

oh my gosh, this has a name? how often does it have to happen in order for it to be classified as 'having it', if that's even how it works? every once in a while i'll be right about to fall asleep or almost asleep and i'll be shocked awake by a really loud, indescribable noise, i guess kind of like something falling or slamming?

Kehre For me, it's usually in the middle of the night or early in the morning. And I'm always sound asleep right before it happens.
@
MythNomer No, I just feel completely panicked when it happens but it doesn't leave me with any physical pain.
@
matejko Ya it does lol! I didn't know either for most of my lifetime it's happened (until I saw it in a YouTube video). And I'm sure about the frequency because it happens at COMPLETELY random times for me. But yes, it looks like you've experienced it before!
@
Anak I think it also applies to going to sleep, just as long as it's sleep-linked.

Oh. I have that o-o I thought it was just me being paranoid at night.

I've gotten this a few times, but not often. It's like a really loud mechanical ZZHOOOMM right when i'm falling asleep. Like a really good space ship sound.

I have it. It usually happens when I am under a lot of stress though. It happens right before I go to sleep and it causes this horrible screeching noise. Like those old AOL modems when they start up, but much louder. I usually have anxiety after I wake up and I can't go back to sleep for a few hours.
If I do try and go back to sleep immediately afterwards, I either get woken up by EHS again or I have sleep paralysis. I hate them both so much.

Sometimes I hear noises like a trumpet or a flat muffled tone that lasts for a fraction of a second, I think that is normal for most people when going to sleep if your still conscious as you enter a different stage in sleep especially when dreams begin to form

I've only experienced it once. A few years ago I had a dream that I encountered the ghost of my grandma in a hallway and it felt really ominous and bad and then a bright light flashed and a loud artificial-sounding buzzing woke me up. I woke up sweating and with my heart pounding. I'd read about exploding head syndrome before so I knew what was going on, at least. I hope that was only an isolated incident because it was definitely terrifying.
