Yes, this is a real condition for those who have not heard of it. There have been times over the last few years where I have been laying in bed, almost asleep, and all of the sudden I hear a loud bang or crash. It's so loud it sounds like a car crashed through my bedroom wall. I jump up and nothings there. One time I was almost asleep and I heard a man say HELLO right in my ear. It was really loud. I never thought too much of this because it happens so rarely, but it always freaked me out. The other day I found something on Exploding Head Syndrome. Do I have this?

Yes, that is Exploding Head Syndrome. This usually occurs within an hour or two of falling asleep, but is not the result of a dream. The cause of exploding head syndrome is not known, though some physicians have reported a correlation with stress or extreme fatigue. The condition may develop at any time during life and women are slightly more likely to suffer from it than men. Attacks can be one-time events, or can recur.

Why do you think that sort of thing would upset us. We don't like John Stewart because he's a poster boy for the democratic movement. We like John Stewart because unlike all the other news agencies, he takes the must know news and presents it in a way that doesn't make us want to crawl into a hole and die at the end of the broadcast. He sheds light on serious issues that need attention without depressing us over the fact that 90% of our elected leaders act like a bunch of idiots trying to figure out how to hump a door knob. Last night's program was a prime example of why we love John, because while Yes he was agreeing with fox news, he pointed out just how screwed up the situation was when people like dick cheney were demanding government accountability and donald rumsfeld was complaining about how talking points were changed.

I have heard a voice before or a clap, my doctor said this is a phenomenon that occurs in the first part of a sleep phase. It is not abnormal.
