You woke up in a coffin, buried alive. Your actions?

So you died. It doesn't matter from what. They buried you and that's it. Your father drank the fifth glass, a neighbor put barberries on your tombstone, and that very relative, whom you did not remember at close range, but who knew you from the cradle, finished sobbing about how good you were.

And then, when everyone went home, you suddenly ... woke up.

I immediately remember “Kill Bill 2” and “Buried Alive”, but today we will talk about something else. I'm not going to give you advice on how to get out of the coffin, because fuck you can do it. It was necessary not to bring this up to this and not to mess with the guys who are able to bury a person alive.

But there is such a thing as lethargic sleep. And then your closest people can bury you

For example, the most famous case is the death of Gogol. He was always afraid of being buried alive, so even in his will he wrote not to bury him until, let's say ... he starts to specifically phonate (excuse me, Nikolai Vasilyevich) Before that, Gogol could turn off for a couple of days, and the transferred malaria, like any serious infectious disease, is one of the causes of lethargic dreams. And it's also banal chronic fatigue and stress, so here's a new phobia for you.

So, many say that the lid of the writer's coffin was covered with scratches from the inside, and Gogol's hands were torn apart. And the author of Dead Souls himself was lying on his side.

Others attribute all this to the consequences of muscle relaxation (because of this, after death, people often farts and moan, which very frightened our ancestors and gave rise to a bunch of myths about zombies. Well, remember the series in South Park, where after death the heroes ... shit. Relaxation of the sphincter muscles, if anything)

So the expression about "in the coffin" is not so far from the truth. Therefore, Gogol's head turned, his arms were scattered, and so on.

In general, this is unlikely, since many of Gogol's acquaintances who knew about the writer's fear of being buried alive, as best they could, verified that he was dead. Maybe they told him that after 30 years on the book "Dead Souls" they will write stupid essays and everyone will read it in a short retelling or somehow provoked him - it is unknown. But they made him a death mask, which means they poured on his face hot as a dick knows what alabaster. Could he wake up from this if he was alive? Unknown. So there is no obvious proof that he was buried alive.

But it is known for certain that such bells were hung in cemeteries so that if you suddenly woke up with a wooden mac, you could ring a bell like a first grader on a ruler. And then the night watchman who heard the ringing would have dug you out

And there were even crypts of self-rescue, where you could get out on your own, dust yourself off, damn your relatives and go home to sleep, so that in the morning you could go to work as usual.

And that is also why the dead are buried no earlier than 3 days later. That is to say, to make sure.

And now the questions that interest you anyway

Can a sleeping person be buried in lethargic sleep in the 21st century?

In fact, there are such amazing things now as electroencephalograms and electrocardiograms. With lethargy, your pulse and heart rate slow down so much that you can't feel them. But not so much that the device does not see them.

Does a person hear something in a lethargic dream?

Many - yes. After waking up, they may even remember how someone came to them and told something.

How is lethargic sleep different from coma?

With lethargic sleep, your brain lives well and even works - you see dreams and understand what is happening around, even if you do not react. In a coma, your brain is turned off, as are all your reflexes and perceptions. Well, in general, this is already a transitional state between life and death.

How will a person change after 10 years of lethargic sleep?

People who have decided to give a little after lunch and have slept for 10 years, ideally, will not have disturbances in the functioning of the central nervous system and brain. But the mentality will be at the same level when you fall asleep. For example, the American Greta Stargl fell asleep in a lethargic sleep after a car accident at the age of 3. And I woke up already 17 years later. At the same time, her intelligence remained at the level of a three-year-old child, and while all her peers went on dates, she sent her dolls on dates in a teahouse. Although little is known about her, her mental abilities were not affected in any way.

Therefore, she developed like an ordinary three-year-old child and eventually went to school, probably embarrassing all the dads in the school lineup.

So don't be afraid. You won't be buried alive by mistake. Sleep well.
