every night when i sleep, i call the process "shutting down". i do NOT hear or feel anything, my family members have to rage shake me to get me up in the middle of the night if there is an emergency, earthquake or something of that sort.
i NEVER hear the alarm clock in the morning or during the night, that means like last month i had to catch a 4 AM flight and i could not guarantee that i would get up at 2am, change and leave so i did the next best thing, i stayed up all night. (this was when i was alone for some reason)
i listen to audiobooks when i am "Falling asleep", been doing that for the last decade, without fail. one time my phone broke and i felt "weird" sleeping without some narrator speaking to me.
the rage shake thing, that is real. funny thing, i can sometimes "hear, like being in a well and looking out kind of feeling, but can't put 2 and 2 together with regards to something is trying to wake me up"...

- 2Gkashmiri 4y agofunny. i remember falling from the bed and speaking some expletives and jumping back up automatically. no in the moment attention towards what had happened or why
- green-salt 4y agoI wonder if this is a result of some kind of sleep paralysis?
- 2Gkashmiri 4y agodont know.... i have read about sleep paralysis but i cannot remember any of the symptoms. in our culture, we have the story of the sleep entity which is akin to sleep paralysis in all of its symptoms but i've never felt that. the "shutting down" thing for me is because in the morning, like most people there is no sense of passage of time but generally no dreams also. its like you wink and boom, 8 hours have passed. my mum has the lightest sleep on the contrary. we can walk outside their room, on tiptoes and flick a switch and mum is out in 2 seconds. polar opposite.
- 2Gkashmiri 4y agoback many many years ago, i was into the whole lucid dreaming thing and boy that was amazing. then when inception came up, the two connected and it felt quite great but it petered out somehow and i have yet to get that mojo back... sad
- zarzavat 4y agoI have the same problem. I have become immune to alarm clocks. Sometimes I wake up late, and notice that my alarm never went off, for a time I thought there was some bug with iOS until I realised that I was turning off the alarm in my sleep and not remembering doing so. Other times, I just completely sleep through the alarm.
- 2Gkashmiri 4y agooooo... i have a suggestion. it is janky but it works but i am too lazy to keep up with this. it can be a million dollar app idea so saddle up. >I have become immune to alarm clocks 100% me but i've found a cheat. i have observed i am immune to the alarm "tune" itself and not the loudness of it. my tests revealed if i change the alarm tone without listening to it first, the next morning i do "hear it". for the app itself, if there was an alarm clock app that does "random tune", that would be it. i remember back in 2010-13 there was this IOS alarm app, sunrise or something. they had that. sadly after going over to android, i have yet to find an alternative. and yes, i have tried those radio alarm clocks, they just drain the battery and the selection of music is not always suited for waking up so it doesnt matter. try it just now. put your phone to mute/low audio and randomly select an alarm tune without reading/hearing what it is. you should "hear" it in the morning
