do you ever feel like you die when you sleep?

[jerrycan dan]

Of course modern neuroscience shows that your brain is still doing its thing even while you're asleep, it's just hunkered down down for the night, but despite this do you ever get the feeling that you die when you go to sleep? As in your consciousness goes kaput the second you stop being awake and gets replaced with a new one when you wake up in the morning, "you" as in the person reading this only gets to live a day. Your day consisted of going somewhere and doing something completely dogshit for somebody who hates you, then you died and slipped into nothing. This is really fucking dumb but I can't shake this thought and it makes it pretty uncomfortable to go to sleep sometimes tbqhwud nglngl

I keep going unconscious every night yet I'm still here. Makes me wonder if my consciousness will be recycled into something else eventually when I die, or if the universe is just cycling and I'm experiencing the same shit again and again.

the dying comes when i wake up, and it's only on the inside unfortunately

 

[Unmerited]

Maybe it's just being over-preoccupied with death that leads to these kinds of thoughts. It doesn't sound particularly healthy.

This is cool introspection.

I've heard of this theory with the Star Trek teleports. They actually die every time they use them and regenerated as a new copy of themselves but the person they were before is dead despite the new one being exactly the same.

But that doesn't apply to us since our bodies are not being disintegrated and reassembled.

In fact, the more I sleep the more alive I feel. When I get lack of sleep (because I resist going to bed) I feel like a zombie.

When you lose consciousness you can never be sure it's the you before that wakes up.

transferring consciousness to a robot would be interesting

im a whale so i think my legit heart and brain stop sometimes when im asleep because sometimes at night i'll wake up in the middle of the night with huge fucking chest pains and can't stop breathing heavily like i just ran a mile. freaks me the fuck out

i also never feel energized from any of my sleep so i think that is also some kind of bad sign

I wish I could die in my sleep. A heart attack would be nice; it's too bad for me my heart is way too healthy for that.
