However, it's not uncommon for some people to report experiencing auditory hallucinations, including hearing voices calling their name, when they are falling asleep or waking up. These experiences are often associated with a state called "hypnagogia" (when falling asleep) or "hypnopompia" (when waking up). During these transitional states between wakefulness and sleep, the brain can produce various sensory and perceptual experiences, including auditory hallucinations.
Hypnagogic and hypnopompic hallucinations can be quite vivid and realistic, and they are generally considered to be a normal phenomenon. They can occur in people without any underlying mental health conditions. However, in some cases, they may be more frequent or distressing in individuals with certain sleep disorders or other medical conditions.
If someone frequently experiences hallucinations or if the experiences are causing distress or interference with daily life, it's essential for them to consult a healthcare professional for a proper evaluation and guidance. This way, any potential underlying issues can be addressed appropriately.
