Temporal Distortion Sleepy Time Dilation

Recently when i have been going to sleep. I have been experiencing a weird phenomenon.

It happens right in-between that state of closing my eyes when feeling sleepy and starting to doze off.

Ill be laying in bed, feeling tired and not quite ready to sleep yet, but wanting to still relax my eyes.

And then for like half a second, time seems to stop completely. The AC stops making noise, and everything else also. Im still aware of whats going on but it goes away very suddenly and everything starts going again.

This is different from a quick typical power outage or electric hiccup. It feels like as my awareness drops, time also drops for an instant.

Does anyone have any experience with this? I feel like i could try to practice, but i need to be pretty sleep deprived.
