    What sounds like a scream could also be an episode of “exploding head syndrome” (the most hilariously dramatically named relatively mundane sleep phenomenon)

    I’ve experienced it a handful of times in my life and it is very startling! Especially the 2 times where it sounded like someone shouting my name from inside my skull. Brains are so weird

      Just got one the other night, first time in ages. Sounds exactly like a shotgun going off.
