@therealniccoy: Imagine being awake… but parts of your brain briefly fall asleep. That’s the phenomenon researchers call local sleep, and it’s been observed in some adults with ADHD. Could this explain mind blanking, vivid imagination, or sudden bursts of creativity? The creativity link is still being explored—but the neuroscience is changing how we think about attention, consciousness, and the ADHD brain. 👇 Have you ever experienced this? #neurodivergent #neurospicy #neuroscience #adhd #hypnogogia

I wonder if déjà vu is waking up from these little dreams

Einstein used to sit holding keys over a metal plate. He'd drop them when he went off to sleep to wake up and keep him in a hypnogogic state.

It might also be why we struggle with sleep so much

I have ADHD and am a self-taught musician, what I've noticed is: If I'm trying to compose the music consciously and it doesn't click, it doesn't work at all. But when I loosen control and let myself feel it, instead of rationally use knowledge, it works and I fall into a hyperfocus state. And after some time, I listen to what I've created and trying to understand, how the hell did I do that? 😅

Sleep is a funny thing. I often "rest" when I'm trying to sleep, and have the most vivid thoughts, and though I haven't "slept" I wake up feeling completely rejuvenated.

So I don't need so much actual sleep, right? Because I sleep normally about 4-5 hours. 😅

This, is me. I was always diagnosed as a ‘day dreamer’ and that I would, ‘space out’, but I always got good marks. I have learned to harness this state of thought as an engineer and I credit it to my creative designs

I zone out all the time..😅 & stand in the middle of nowhere, looking at the sky, seeing in my mind how I'm gonna build or fix something.
