of, relating to, or occurring in the period of drowsiness immediately preceding sleep


I leave the computer and Tribe with the intention of watching a little television prior to bed, but find the couch to be a zone of hypnagogic relaxation and I awaken in the living room hours later.

    I look forward to the slightly perceptible moment when I am in an hypnagogic state and I feel I am leaving the world behind. It is like a split second travel brochure of where I'll be spending REAL time that night.

    I feel like writing, but the rythmic pattering of my own keyboard induces hypnogagia.

      Sometimes when I am in a hypnagogic state I feel a physical sensation as though I am falling.

        interesting
        when i was in fifth grade i had a recurring dream, just at the early edge of sleep, where i would fall off cliffs. my arms once shot straight up in front of me as i dreamt. i think i scared the bejeezus out of my friend (i was sleeping over at her house and she was still awake...) and it woke me back up.
        the hypnogogic falling syndrome?
