[|Human|] When I am falling asleep, sometimes I have the sensation of hearing a sharp snap in the back of my brain. Very much like the sound of a very dry stick breaking. Rarely it is accompanied with a blinding flash of silvery/white light. There are times where I feel the need to check if I can still move my limbs or speak. These sounds happens about 4-8 times a year. I remember having them staring in my mid-teen years and continuing to present @ 57 Years old. Should I be concerned?
