¿Te ha pasado que estás a punto de quedarte dormido, en ese momento en que todo parece tranquilo, y de repente… ¡zas! Sientes que caes al vacío, tu cuerpo da un salto y despiertas confundido. Es una sensación extraña, casi como si te estuvieras burlando de tu propio descanso.
Have you ever been on the verge of drifting off to sleep, everything calm and peaceful, and then bam! you feel like you’re plummeting into thin air? Your body jerks, and you wake up confused. It’s such a strange sensation, almost as if your own rest is playing tricks on you.
Este fenómeno se llama sacudida hipnagógica, es algo completamente normal. Sucede al inicio del sueño, cuando tu cuerpo empieza a relajarse profundamente, pero tu cerebro interpreta esa relajación como si estuvieras perdiendo el equilibrio. Entonces, por si acaso, lanza una señal que activa tus músculos para evitar esa “caída” que realmente no está ocurriendo.
This phenomenon is called a hypnic jerk, it’s completely normal. It happens at the onset of sleep, when your body begins to deeply relax. But your brain, still partially awake, misinterprets this relaxation as a loss of balance. Just in case, it sends a signal that makes your muscles twitch to "save" you from a fall that isn’t actually happening.
¿Por qué pasa esto?
Estrés, cansancio extremo o incluso tomar café demasiado tarde pueden aumentar las probabilidades de sentir este pequeño susto nocturno. Es como si tu mente no estuviera lista para ceder el control por completo y decidiera probar si todo está bajo control antes de apagarse del todo.
Why does this happen?
Stress, extreme fatigue, or even having coffee too late in the day can increase the chances of experiencing this nighttime surprise. It’s like your mind isn’t quite ready to give up control and wants to make sure everything is in order before shutting down completely.
Aunque puede ser incómodo, no es algo de qué preocuparse. La próxima vez que te pase, recuerda: no te estás cayendo a ningún lugar. Es solo tu cuerpo asegurándose de que todo está bien antes de sumergirte en un merecido descanso. 🌙
While it can feel unsettling, it’s nothing to worry about. The next time it happens, remember: you’re not falling anywhere. It’s just your body double-checking before surrendering to a well-deserved rest. 🌙
I used to have this in the form of a dream jumping to high into the sky before falling as if I were on a very low gravity world. I got used to it and no longer had that as a repetitive dream.
