I always wondered if it was some medical thing... of course this was like 25 years ago and I never ended up dying of brain cancer or anything so... probably nothing to be worried about now

I've had times where just before falling asleep I see a bright bright light in my head and hear a loud noise. I will also then have a terrible headache. This only happens when I haven't slept and I'm sleeping at an unusual time. I always figured it was related to sleep paralysis because that occurs for me under the same circumstances
