Exploding Head Syndrome

StinkyPete:
I didn't know if I should post this under "Jokes" or "Members Health"

In the early hours of the morning a couple of days ago I was woken by a MASSIVE explosion.   First I thought it was lightning and thunder over the house, but the sound wasn't quite right, and then I thought that my shed had been blown up by a former client, but there was no sounds of falling debris or other post demolition sounds.   It was huge and woke me with a severe start.  No follow-up sirens were heard.   Stangely neither the dog or Chris hadn't stirred, and the shed was still intact, so the mystery of the massively loud Ker-Fu#$@&%-Boom remained.     In the morning I checked facebook for any reports of a local disturbance.....   Nothing.

A search for dreamed or imagined explosions turned up the wonderfully named "Exploding Head Syndrome".
See  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exploding_head_syndrome   and   https://sleepeducation.org/sleep-disorders/exploding-head-syndrome/ 

I haven't stopped chuckling about it since, and the family reckons it's a great name for what I experienced.  There's lot's of info about EHS on the web.  :grin

Biggles:
Yep, another symptom of advanced age.  Enjoy them all!

Lionel:
I’d like some of what you’re taking.

Bodø:
The one I seem to be suffering from is Auto-brewery syndrome.  It sounds like something Cerebral Knievel would come up with but I discounted that on the fact that you have to be dry.  :nahnah

CallMeSteve:
That’s really interesting Pete.  I can relate.  While not at the H-bomb level that you experienced, I can admit to being woken by a loud noise and wondering why neither Ruth nor the cat were affected.  The fact that it has a real name helps me to maintain the illusion that I’m not losing my marbles.
