I had that happen with morphene once. Watched the needle for the drip go in, looked away for a second, looked back and it was already being removed because my procedure was done.

Reminds me of when I got my gallbladder removed. The nurse got me talking about cooking because I was freaking out and tensing up over the needle. One second I was just laying there happily talking about the lentil taco salad I made recently, and the next, I was hazily looking around the room in a state of utter confusion while a nurse stood over me and asked if I want a graham cracker.

Plus, 9:30 at night isn’t that early for most 10 year olds
hushable@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
I had the opposite happen to me once back in my early 20s
One time I was dead tired and could barely keep myself awake after working in an assignment due the next day. I finished past midnight and went to bed at 1am, I recall watching the clock before going to sleep since I had to set up an alarm for 8am or something.
Thing is, I fell asleep immediately, then I woke up fully refresh before my alarm went off, I woke up feeling amazing, fully awake and ready to go. Then I checked the time… 1:50am. Since I couldn’t fall asleep again I watched some movies until my alarm went off and then went to class like nothing happened.
Yes, I was tired very early the next day, but I still think of that night from time to time

Good ol’ Circadian Arrhythmia
Sleep 10 minutes? Rested up and refreshed to start the day.
Sleep 10 hours? Dead tired and need an IV of caffeine to function.
Worn out after a long day? Lay down & BOOM! you have the energy of a 5 year old full of Halloween candy and Red Bull.
tetris11@feddit.uk 2 weeks ago
I used to routinely stay up 3 days in a row, at least once a year during my uni days to get a final assignment in on time^[First day is the worst, second gets better once you switch from caffeine to fruit, and third day you’re making stupid decisions like walking into traffic instead of waiting for the light]. I remember vividly after it was complete and I’d printed/binded/handed it in, I was on the train back home and saw weird shadows flickering across the carriage. Those flickering shadows followed me on my walk to the house, starting to creep in like oscillating blades at the edge of my vision, and when I finally got into bed and laid my head against the pillow that’s when the daggers closed in, and everything went black.
Woke up 15 hours later feeling great.
Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
I remember some times when I’d be up for a long time, eventually it felt like the part of my brain that controlled awareness of another person’s presence would glitch out. Like if I was alone in my room playing video games, I’d get a sense that it was time to pass the controller when I died, or to comment on something for the other person that wasn’t really there.
But I was alone in my room, which made it pretty easy to recognize what was going on as a form of hallucination (I’d also see dark spots moving around in my peripheral, which I suspect some less self-aware people might think are bugs moving around at the edge of their vision). If I was out walking, where it was harder to logically be sure that you’re alone when your senses lie to you, I could see it developing into a strong paranoia. Would suck for that to be a normal feeling rather than something that happens after staying up way too long.
LodeMike@lemmy.today 2 days ago
It’s happened to me once and exactly once. This isn’t just “falling asleep” typically the brain will still know time passed. When it happened to me it was a frame perfect cut. Must happen to children sometimes (I think I was 12 or around there).
Allero@lemmy.today 2 weeks ago
Had that when I had a surgery under general anesthesia. They injected something, for about 20 seconds nothing happened, and next moment I was in the ward and everything was already done. Just instant time skip.
robolemmy@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 weeks ago
One of the first drugs they give you before surgery interferes with the formation of long term memories. There’s a good chance you were awake and aware for quite awhile after the first injection… you just couldn’t make long term memories about it.
thespcicifcocean@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Is the inability to form long term memories a side effect of something, or is that the main point of one of the drugs?
Allero@lemmy.today 2 weeks ago
How long term are we talking about? Because I remember being immediately surprised once I got awake. It’s not that I just don’t remember it now, specifically.

I once had the exact opposite.
I voted Fidesz in 2010 with the hopes they will raise the age of consent. They lowered it to 12 if the older party is under 18.
I got so angry I was shaking, and veins on my forehead were visible, just like that meme. When I tried to sleep, it didn’t work. I still tried to at least try, so I lay in the bed, seeing the sun rising. Eventually I had to go to college, after that finished, I slept for like 20 hours, and accepted my fell for it again award (they also didn’t make it easier for college students to get apprenticeship, so ultimately I ended up without a college degree, as I couldn’t get anything due to a multitude of factors).
heartSagan5@lemmy.zip 2 weeks ago
You want to hear about a glitch? I once went to hospital, and it was a rough first night. The second night, I couldn’t sleep so I’d figure I’d grab a book and try some reading. I opened the book, and the text was flipping symbols like the Matrix … like each character was flipping. I couldn’t read it so I returned the book.

That’s what books often do in dreams. Brain can’t really keep lots of text straight, so it’s a common sign that you’re dreaming.

I have taken some fighting class where they taught us some techniques. After a few weeks of training the instructor put us through a scenario where he put on a RedMan suit and we had to fight him one by one.
When it was my turn, I remember walking towards him. Next thing I remember the fight was over. I was standing in front of the instructor who had been apparently repelled and said in an impressed tone “that was a great elbow”.
I have no idea of what I did but apparently it involved my elbow and it worked.

NotASharkInAManSuit@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
I have one. I got this pair of slippers as a present once, best alippers ever, I always wore them. Slip them off to go to bed one night, put them in their usual spot, next morning they are gone. Nothing else out of place or moved. My roommate was out of town and I was alone for the week. I tore the place apart trying to find them, checked everywhere, looked through all the trash. They were just gone, never to be seen again. Pretty sure it was a wizard.

TootSweet@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
I had that happen a few times when I was quite young. At least once, I did it on purpose. I had a sleepover with a friend and was excited for the next day and was impatient for the next day to arrive now. I fell asleep and woke up the next day seemingly instantly. No dreams. No perception of passage of more than like a second of time. Just instant morning.
Eq0@literature.cafe 2 weeks ago
It happened to me in my 20s! I was playing cards with some friends and one of them was dealing. The split second later, I ask where my cards were. Apparently, I fell asleep while they were dealing the cards, slept exactly through a full game and abruptly woke up while they were dealing cards again.
TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Maybe he’s had a good sleep. Children could sleep so easily and soundly. But it does sound like time really is perception.
I’ve had a similar experience except my eyes seem to be open? The first time it happened, I woke up and just stared at the ceiling. My mind was completely blank and it was very peaceful. I think I’ve done it for maybe one hour after realising what happened but it felt very quick. The second time it happened was on another occasion when i also stared at the ceiling. It seems to only happen when i stare at a completely white surface.
I have anendophasia which means I have little to no internal voice. Maybe I have done meditation by accident because of just how my mind works. When i do try to meditate, I don’t get a completely blank mind, but when i don’t even try I achieved it somehow.
Regrettable_incident@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Didn’t know there was a term for not having an internal voice. I’m actually kinda glad I don’t have one, seems like it would get annoying. I can make one when I try, but wouldn’t want that shit going on all the time.

The book Thinking in Pictures by Temple Grandin explains this well.
I THINK IN PICTURES. Words are like a second language to me. I translate both spoken and written words into full-color movies, complete with sound, which run like a VCR tape in my head. When somebody speaks to me, his words are instantly translated into pictures.
…
When I was a child and a teenager, I thought everybody thought in pictures. I had no idea that my thought processes were different.
…
When I do an equipment simulation in my imagination or work on an engineering problem, it is like seeing it on a videotape in my mind. I can view it from any angle, placing myself above or below the equipment and rotating it at the same time.
…
I create new images all the time by taking many little parts of images I have in the video library in my imagination and piecing them together.
…
To create new designs, I retrieve bits and pieces from my memory and combine them into a new whole. My design ability keeps improving as I add more visual images to my library. I add videolike images from either actual experiences or translations of written information into pictures.
…
When I recall something I have learned, I replay the video in my imagination.
…
Like me, the mnemonist had a visual image for everything he had heard or read. Luria writes, “For when he heard or read a word, it was at once converted into a visual image corresponding with the object the word signified for him.”
…
It wasn’t until I went to college that I realized some people are completely verbal and think only in words. … When I invent things, I do not use language. Some other people think in vividly detailed pictures, but most think in a combination of words and vague, generalized pictures. … I used to become very frustrated when a verbal thinker could not understand something I was trying to express because he or she couldn’t see the picture that was crystal clear to me.
…
Unlike those of most people, my thoughts move from videolike, specific images to generalization and concepts. For example, my concept of dogs is inextricably linked to every dog I’ve ever known. It’s as if I have a card catalogue of dogs I have seen, complete with pictures, which continually grows as I add more examples to my video library.
…
My memories usually appear in my imagination in strict chronological order, and the images I visualize are always specific. There is no generic, generalized Great Dane. However, not all people with autism are highly visual thinkers, nor do they all process information this way. People throughout the world are on a continuum of visualization skills ranging from next to none, to seeing vague generalized pictures, to seeing semi-specific pictures, to seeing, as in my case, in very specific pictures. I’m always forming new visual images when I invent new equipment or think of something novel and amusing. I can take images that I have seen, rearrange them, and create new pictures.

Gullible@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago
I mean, these things happen to a small subset of people so I can understand where the frame of reference gets skewed for you normies. For instance, every time my aunt babysat me, I’d immediately find myself in another place after dinner. Everything would hurt from the cold, but the police would help me get back home and even they couldn’t explain it to me, a “very brave kid” in their very words. Explain that, liberals.

I’ve had a few, but I chock them up to being tired. Twice on the way to work early in the morning, the sky turned colors on my. Once it turned purple, the other it turned an aqua color. Then, while working night shift, I was looking up at the sky and saw what I thought was a shooting star make a 90° turn before disappearing. It had to be sleep deprivation, on every account.

I have had the opposite happen. I looked at the clock and it was like 800. I fall asleep, or at least feel like I did for a full night’s rest. Then when I open my eyes the clock reads 759. Still don’t have an explanation, maybe a stroke and I just misread the alarm clock originally.
