When you sleep, your body is not working the same as when you're awake. Your blood pressure drops, your temperatures drops, your breathing rate slows, you have a little less O2 than what you had during the day and a little more CO2. Your heart rate also drops - but if you're having crazy dreams in REM, then the above is not necessarily true! Anyway, combine all these changes with the cardiovascular problems that the covid injection is causing and you have a recipe for disaster.

When sleeping, you neither have your willpower at your disposal nor your ability to make conscious decisions because you are relying upon a single system (your parasympathetic nervous system - or PNS); if there was a slight noise outside, you probably wouldn't even wake. If someone stuck a pin in your toe, you'd probably wake up, however! But you have to be irritated enough to break that sleep cycle.

Slight or even moderate differences with oxygen saturation levels and the like may mean you might slip into unconsciousness when you are asleep...think 'coma'. Then things just switch off...like the heart, and breathing, and eventually, brain activity.

All this is SO much easier when you are asleep. You're far less in 'control' of your mind & body when asleep compared to awake - hence plenty will go that way.

Hope that explains it a little bit?

Sure-also you will not receive intervention as quickly. If I fall while awake at work I will have assistance in seconds. As a former busy EMT I can tell you from experience, otherwise completely healthy teenagers going to bed and not waking up? I never saw even one. Unheard of, truly.

That's a very good point, Joe. No-one's going to come save you when you're losing vital signs in your sleep and the only other people in your house are fast asleep - and possibly in another room!

But yes, teenagers or younger kids (hell, even people in their early 20s) dying in their sleep is NOT normal at all! There are cases of people perhaps in their 30s going to bed and not waking, maybe even from such problems as bacterial endocarditis. But they're SOOO rare!! I can't recall anything from all my news-watching days when I was a young woman/teenager about healthy teenagers just dying in their sleep. SIDS - yes. That happened a bit. But not healthy teens dying in their sleep (not unless it was a suicide).

The things people are now being told that are supposedly 'normal' are so far removed from normal it's not even funny.

Yup - Comedians Bob Saget & Heather McDonald who both bragged about being vaxxed and boosted probably both collapsed because of POTS, an adverse effect of the vaccine that causes sudden loss of consciousness. Bob had just happily completed his show and was alone in his room. Heather was on stage. He died alone, she had a nurse by her side within a minute and was transported to the hospital. There is no way to test for POTS once the person is dead, and the risk of death from POTS is primarily from head injuries due to sudden falls.

Saget's and McDonald's head injuries were identical, although the taller and heavier Saget's were somewhat more severe. The bigger they are, the harder they fall.

More than a little bit. Very helpful. Thanks.
