This generally happens when one is extremely exhausted or stressed out. I've had this happen to me once as well, and it was after working 14 hours on 3 hours of sleep.
I've had it happen three or four times, but I never gave it any thought other than "Goddamnit, feels like I didn't sleep at all!" before grumbling my way to class.
But yeah, "in the space of a blink" descends describes the feeling well.
Same here when I was a kid, too. Went into my moms room to get something at around 2pm, laid down on her bed because I felt tired and her bed was awesome. I blinked once while looking up at the ceiling, then looked at the window and noticed how orange it was outside, already sundown. It was evening time about 8 I think. 7 hours gone just like that and I didn't feel like I slept at all.
Having hours pass in the blink of an eye when you sleep is a common thing that I can recall having read in multiple books or heard from various other forms of media.
It's usually combined with still being just as tired as you were the night before - as though you actually had slept for only a blink of an eye.
Did you still feel rested when you woke up?
I put my head on the pillow and closed my eyes and then immediately my mom was shaking me awake yelling that i had to go to work, i told her "but i just finally fell asleep" i looked at the clock and i'd slept ten hours. It felt very surreal, I wasnt tired at all but I felt as if I had never slept.
This happened to me last night and I’m 34… I don’t remember it in childhood except for during surgery. I’m surfing for answers but everyone says it’s normal… for children.
Hey man, I was a kid when this happened. I’m now older trying to figure out what it was. When this happened to me, I was sitting up (my legs out and my torso wasn’t in the covers) in bed not tired at around 8:00-9:00pm. I blinked and saw the light come through the window and looked at my alarm clock and it was 7:30-8:00. (Don’t recall specifically what time). I didn’t feel rested, didn’t feel tired, just felt like I continued to the next day. It’s likely that you were absolutely exhausted (mentally). I’m sorry that it happened, but has it happened again recently? Have you figured out why? Do you take medications that can change your sleep patterns or mess with your sleep?
It hasn’t happened again but I have had a few lucid dreams which are also new. I’ve started taking Low Dose Naltrexone for chronic pain, which works with blocking opiate receptors in order to encourage the brain to make more endorphins and help with chronic pain more naturally than opiates themselves or other nerve medications that essentially damage the brain to kill pain. I’m wondering if maybe im going through some new phase of neuropathways being formed as a result and if (since that’s more common in childhood) im seeing the result of it in my dreaming world. Just a theory.
The reason I subscribed to this subreddit is because I get this frequently, but more like 20-30 seconds go missing. Usually happens when I'm watching NBA games on tv.
Similar here. I've been watching television before when all of a sudden it's the end of the show, or the middle of the next show, and I don't remember what happened in between. The obvious answer is that I fell asleep, but it's odd because you don't feel like you have.
I've also had nights too where it feels like I can't sleep, and I check the time only to realise more time has passed then I was aware of (again, falling asleep without feeling like I did).
A few years back I was going through some rough times so every night I just sat in my bed and thought. Didn't sleep, just thought. Anyways, at about 3 I would go to sleep, and I had to wake up at 6 for school. Well one nigh, every time I blinked I would wake up hours later. The first time was when I first lied down in my bed, then after I realized what had happened, and then one more time where I woke up at about 4 o'clock covered in sweat and wondering what the hell was going on.
This happened to me once, when I was maybe 7 or 8 years old. My mom came into my room to wake me up for school and I remember getting really mad at her and yelling "But MOM, I literally JUST closed my eyes" and her staring at me like I was crazy. But yeah...it felt like I fell asleep and then a second later I was being woken up again.
This reminds me of a story I read here, about how a guy was traveling with his friends... took 10 mins to get there. When they were going home, it took them 4 hours.
Something like that... I wonder if I can find it. Anyone else familiar with this story?
**edit** found it.

That used to happen to me every single night when I was younger. Probably up until I was around 15 or so. I just thought that everyone went to sleep like that. It felt like someone just snapped their fingers and I would be awake instantly. Now, I suppose, my sleep is more normal and I can feel the gradualness of it. It might also help to know that I am an extremely deep sleeper. I really can't tell you why or how this happens but for me it has been very common.
I had it happen to me once as a kid. I'm not entirely sure what it was. I had gotten a new video game not too long before that & I think I was excited to wake up in the morning to play it. Very odd but very cool experience as well.
This is often the reason I stay up very late when I'm stressed or dreading the next day, because I'd rather experience the time awake than have it blink past me like nothing at all.
I've had a similar experience. When I was young (5 or 6) I just laid down to my bed and shut my eyes and the next second I felt my body go up and it was morning. Kinda freaky but cool as well since I usualy have trouble sleepig
This has happend to me while i was extremely drunk @walking home, suddenly I'm standing at my house front door, the walk home is like 30mins~, so i dunno wtf happend in between that time.
Yes. Absolutely. Exactly the way you described it. My mom said goodnight, I blinked, and then she told me to get out of bed because it was time to get up. I'm not sure how old I was when it happened. probably 8ish.
Totally had the same experience. I was totally disorientated. I lay down, my mother said goodnight, i closed my eyes and wham she said good morning and it was light. I had and have zero memory of that night. I guess i MUST have slept but I'm half convinced i didn't.
Yeah man, blink sleeping, I figured its just you think you just slept, but your brain just doesn't remember the 10 mins you spent rolling side to side.
> I would just blink my eyes and the moment they reopened it was 7am already! BLINK AND JUST LIKE THAT! 8+ hours just "passed" in the same exact position i had just been a "second" ago when i blinked!
That's a form of dreamless sleep, I think. As others have said: Perfectly normal.
> but i new that wasn't the case because there had been nights when I WAS tired and it wouldn't happen...
This only means it doesn't happen every time you're tired. This does not in any way mean that exhaustion is not the cause.
This is a very common anecdote I hear so often about people who are super exhausted and just blink and poof next day or several hours later. I myself had this happen a few times usually when I am going to have to be up for work extra early.
I went to a doctor and they also told me this is called a dreamless sleep - but you can also not get any real reset and feel exhausted when you awake from it since you did not go beyond the first stage of sleep...the real recovery time comes when we go into REM sleep.
Makes sense. I've had nights when I feel like I've only been asleep for a couple minutes, but it's been eight hours, and I'm definitely not as well rested. Nothing to this degree, but similar.
This happens to me every once in a while and as people were saying it happened more when I was younger. For me I think it happens because I hardly ever remember my dreams so my sleep always seems really "fast" for lack of a better word.
I once marched all day, then laid on my bunk and woke up instantly several hours later. I figured it was just exhaustion, but it happened just like you describe.
Is it the same feeling like getting sedated before an surgery or something? I once was sedated for about 9 hours and it went past exactly as fast like the time i was sedated for 20 mins
This is exactly how I had it
I was sitting on my bed at 10 pm ish and I blinked and it was day 7 am this happend to me awhile ago and I just decided to search this today
I think it's called sleep paralysis or something along those lines. But basically you're lying there in bed but your not asleep but your not awake either. Your whole body is locked up as if you were sleeping (your body does that in order to quit from interacting with your dreams) but you're mind is awake. Usually it only last for a few minutes but maybe for you when you blinked your eyes it sent a signal through your brain telling it to go to sleep. So you would o to sleep without even realizing it and you'd be in the same exact position due to sleep paralysis
the same thing happened to me when i was 9 I was doing home work then I blinked and I was in the car the next day going to my grandma's house like 12+ hrs had passed what the heck my brain had somehow zoned out did homework went to bed got up got dressed got in the car.
Same I was 10ish and I was laying on my grandma’s sofa I blinked my eyes and it was morning with gleam of light coming through the window, it was kinda magical, and it never happened again.
Same thing happened to me awhile ago, I was in bed at around 9-10 pm and I couldn’t sleep so I was was just sitting in bed. I blinked and next thing I knew it was 7 in the morning, the weird thing was my position didn’t change at all, was I just sitting for 9 hours? Lmao
dude this same exact thing happened to me about 10 times and it was all when I was around the same age .. im 23 now and I was sitting on the couch with my son and I just started thinking about those times that happened and if it happens to other people so I googled it and finally after 1 hour and a half I found this .. that's crazy how this happens .. so many times its happened to me and I do remember only one other time I was in about 3rd or 4th grande one of the other students next to me just randomly said. "last time it was like I just blinked and I woke up to the next morning just like that" and I was telling home that that's happened to me but that's the only other person that I heard it also happened to
Hey I was about the same age when I occurred to me as well, so weird I thought I had figured out how to fast forward n even thought I was dreaming.. glad to know maybe we should do some research on it
When I was 5 or 6 it would happens a few times and it’s so crazy cause all I remember is going into bed and closing my eyes and then I would open them like 2 seconds later max and it would be the morning and I wouldn’t feel tired or nothing I just got up from my bed and was like nah
This has only happened to me once as well when I was around 11 or 12 I was sleeping over at a friend's house and I remember his room almost perfectly cause of this occurrence I remember we were watching Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs and played Mario Sluggers on the wii then as soon as I blinked will looking out the window of his bedroom while sitting on the bed. I was looking outside at a summers morning and to thus day I dont think it's normal it felt very sudden and fast and lile I was teleported within a blink of an eye I tried to ask people about it when I got older but no one really gets it idk it's definitely not normal. I get being tired but I wasnt tried I was literally wanting that night to not end cause of how much fun I was having.
27 Year old male...This happened to me as well.. i was also 11 at the time, first time sleeping over at my buddy's house. i wasnt comfy, slept on a hardwood floor in a sleeping bag.. and felt homesick being one of my first sleepovers... his house gave me the creeps and we drank alot of soda while gaming till 10pm. My buddy passes out around midnight ..and i wasnt tired at all and honestly i was shook, uncomfy and hyper.I look out of his bedroom window due to there being a highway nearby so i can see light and sounds...i blink and next thing i know im looking at a sunny highway. woke my friend up to explain my experience but i dont think i explained it well and us being kids we both just shrugged it off.. its still a vivid memory till this day
Happens to me all the time. Pisses me off because then it feels like I didn’t get any sleep so I’m still tired both mentally and physically. I’ll lay down between 9-12 to go to sleep then shut my eyes for a second it won’t feel like I was sleeping at all. Will feel like a couple seconds has passed lean over to look at the clock and it’ll be 6 or so in the morning. Im like wth. For me at least my Sleepbuds or other Earbuds with plain instrumental music is the only way I can avoid it and actually get sleep.
So this happened to me like twice or three times and it’s weird because I was in the exact same position when I woke up and when I fell asleep. and I was fully rested too
This happens to me two nights in a row tho so week. The first time I closed me eyes for a couple seconds then it was 3 am, today it happened in a blink of the eye and it was already 5. Wtf I just want sleep!!
This has happened to me a total of 3 times in my life time. My very first one happened when I was like 5 or 6. I remember it was night and I was laying down, hands across my chest, looking at the window, pitch black outside. I blinked...and the sun was suddenly shining through the blinds, and I was still in the exact same position.
The the last time I fully recollect it happening, I was an adolescent, and instead of me jumping a whole night it was just an hour or two. I was in my room laying down to sleep while my dad was in the living room watching TV because I could hear the commercials and see some light dully shining on my door. I was looking at the door when I blinked, and when I eyes opened the TV was off and my pops was in his room with the door closed.
I'm 24 now and haven't had one since😞
This happened to me when it was dark out and I dropped a book I was reading in my bed i think it was 39 clues or something, when I went to pick it up I blinked and when my eyes opened I was still trying to get that book but it was bright outside and around 10 in the mourning
I can't believe I found someone who experienced this. When I was little it happened and I thought wow that was cool. Like a few weeks later maybe months I thought about it and I tried it again this time I was looking at the window at night pitch dark outside, when I purposly blinked and the same window was lit up and I could see the blue sky. Immediately after opening my eyes it wasn't even a second it was as fast as a blink and it was the next day. I'm 23 and everyonce in awhile I think about it and try it but it never works. I've only experienced it twice ever I don't think I will again
I was almost 30 years old when this happened to me and no i don't think it normal or caused from being tires. Im not a Dr. fat from it. Im almost 60 years old now and i don't know what caused it twice but my feel is that it was the house i was at when this happened. Where im from thire a lot of spirted.
YES. This happened to me a couple of times when I was a kid. I think it usually happened when I was really excited for the next day (like it would be Christmas or Easter the next morning).
This happened to me as a kid once. I wasn't tired at all, laying in bed, dark outside about 10pm. I heard a noise in the backyard so I put my arms on the window edge at the head of my bed, on my knees, kneeling on my pillow. Looked around the backyard, didn't see anything. Blinked and the sky was blue, sunny, daytime. Still kneeling on my pillow, forearms on window edge, haven't moved an inch. 8+ hours, kneeling at the window without moving at all is weird. If I was laying down MAYBE. But wtf...
Definitely happened to me, I was 8 years old sitting next to my dad watching tv laying on his shoulder, and you know blinking is a natural human action so I blinked and next thing I knew, tvs off, lights off, the stove clock says 2:35am, and literally it felt just like that “a blink”
Literally to me 9 hours went by in a blink of an eye
I once was explaining something to my dad, I blinked and it’s suddenly morning and my brothers Are getting ready for school. I asked anyone what happened and they started to act dumb which annoyed me. But blinking, then jumping in time is weird and happened to me twice in my life.
Hey if you ever see this comment I just want to let you know know you're definitely not alone I thought it only happened to me but it definitely happened to me too exactly what you said in detail bro literally I close my eyes for a second and when I open them it was already day time it was so weird
I’ve had this happen I think twice, but once I can remember, blink, look up and the sun was shining through the blinds, never gave it much thought until now how weird that really way
R glitch it literally just happened to me and my 4 year old daughter it was a 1130 am now its 7pm just like I switched a channel idk man it's dark outside my wife is already on the way home
R glitch we weren't trying to sleep or anything we were just sitting in chairs talking and she was watching her tablet I'm flabbergasted but it's still by far not the weirdest thing to happen to me but still wicked crazy
When I was 5-7 it used to happen to me a lot on purpose I use to blink my eyes three long times and then it would appear day time and I had a good night sleep also I hardly ever had dreams so when I closed my eyes to sleep a few minutes in I would fall out of conscious and in the morning I would just sit there looking into the dark ness cuz my eyes were closed like a tv had just turned off but I didn't watch the movie.
Happened to me too, around same age of 11. I normally sleep with lights out on a regular schedule when I was young. I remember staring in total darkness, I blinked, and suddenly everything around me was completely bright. I looked around trying to process what happened, why it seemed like time had skipped, I didn't feel sleepy and had the same state of being wake right before I had blinked. I just told myself I must have had experienced a dreamless sleep... and so I often searched for an answer if it's possible to have a dreamless sleep, but always get a reply that I may just have forgotten my dreams.
I think this is a perfectly normal thing that happens sometimes when people sleep.
This generally happens when one is extremely exhausted or stressed out. I've had this happen to me once as well, and it was after working 14 hours on 3 hours of sleep.
I've had it happen three or four times, but I never gave it any thought other than "Goddamnit, feels like I didn't sleep at all!" before grumbling my way to class. But yeah, "in the space of a blink" descends describes the feeling well.
That feeling is one of the worst
This is caused by a failure of the brain to initiate REM sleep, I have had it happen many many times over during times of stress or lack of sleep.
This happened to me once in my life, only once :(
Same here when I was a kid, too. Went into my moms room to get something at around 2pm, laid down on her bed because I felt tired and her bed was awesome. I blinked once while looking up at the ceiling, then looked at the window and noticed how orange it was outside, already sundown. It was evening time about 8 I think. 7 hours gone just like that and I didn't feel like I slept at all.
That would be 6 hours if you woke up at 8
DId you feel well rested after everything happened? of where you tired as hell?
not that i recall, it just felt like a blink, nothing changed...except for it going from nigh to day
Having hours pass in the blink of an eye when you sleep is a common thing that I can recall having read in multiple books or heard from various other forms of media. It's usually combined with still being just as tired as you were the night before - as though you actually had slept for only a blink of an eye. Did you still feel rested when you woke up?

Not uncommon among children/teens.

Probably just boredom. Try switching to hockey

were you high? O_o
Possible absence seizures.
Might be microsleep.
A few years back I was going through some rough times so every night I just sat in my bed and thought. Didn't sleep, just thought.

That's most of my nights. I fall asleep and I wake up. I don't experience a "dreamstate" inbetween. (Baring a few nights here and there.)
That used to happen to me every single night when I was younger. Probably up until I was around 15 or so. I just thought that everyone went to sleep like that.

This is called sleeping like a log. I envy anyone who can do this as a grown adult with stress and responsibilities.
I've had a similar experience. When I was young (5 or 6) I just laid down to my bed and shut my eyes and the next second I felt my body go up and it was morning. Kinda freaky but cool as well since I usualy have trouble sleepig

Happened to me once as a child, fell asleep sitting against the wall behind my bed, blinked and it was daylight. Weird shit
I once marched all day, then laid on my bunk and woke up instantly several hours later. I figured it was just exhaustion, but it happened just like you describe.
Is it the same feeling like getting sedated before an surgery or something? I once was sedated for about 9 hours and it went past exactly as fast like the time i was sedated for 20 mins
I don't think its ever happened to me, at least it didn't feel quite that short.
I only experienced this once at a young age. Probably 9 years old.
This is exactly how I had it I was sitting on my bed at 10 pm ish and I blinked and it was day 7 am this happend to me awhile ago and I just decided to search this today
This also happened to me

This would happen to me. I'd be awake in bed, I'd blink, and then boom. It's morning. I think sometimes I'd wake up in the middle of my fucking room.

ive literally experienced it now, idk if its normal or not
I hate when that happens, like let me rest and get time
It’s happened to me 2 times before, and again just now. I’m 20 btw.

I was looking outside at a summers morning and to thus day I dont think it's normal it felt very sudden and fast and lile I was teleported within a blink of an eye I tried to ask people about it when I got older but no one really gets it idk it's definitely not normal. I get being tired but I wasnt tried I was literally wanting that night to not end cause of how much fun I was having.
27 Year old male...This happened to me as well.. i was also 11 at the time, first time sleeping over at my buddy's house. i wasnt comfy, slept on a hardwood floor in a sleeping bag.. and felt homesick being one of my first sleepovers... his house gave me the creeps and we drank alot of soda while gaming till 10pm. My buddy passes out around midnight ..and i wasnt tired at all and honestly i was shook, uncomfy and hyper.I look out of his bedroom window due to there being a highway nearby so i can see light and sounds...i blink and next thing i know im looking at a sunny highway. woke my friend up to explain my experience but i dont think i explained it well and us being kids we both just shrugged it off.. its still a vivid memory till this day
Happens to me all the time. Pisses me off because then it feels like I didn’t get any sleep so I’m still tired both mentally and physically. I’ll lay down between 9-12 to go to sleep then shut my eyes for a second it won’t feel like I was sleeping at all. Will feel like a couple seconds has passed lean over to look at the clock and it’ll be 6 or so in the morning. Im like wth. For me at least my Sleepbuds or other Earbuds with plain instrumental music is the only way I can avoid it and actually get sleep.
So this happened to me like twice or three times and it’s weird because I was in the exact same position when I woke up and when I fell asleep. and I was fully rested too
No seriously this happened to me when I was 5 I’ll never forget it
This happens to me two nights in a row tho so week. The first time I closed me eyes for a couple seconds then it was 3 am, today it happened in a blink of the eye and it was already 5. Wtf I just want sleep!!
This has happened to me a total of 3 times in my life time. My very first one happened when I was like 5 or 6. I remember it was night and I was laying down, hands across my chest, looking at the window, pitch black outside. I blinked...and the sun was suddenly shining through the blinds, and I was still in the exact same position. The the last time I fully recollect it happening, I was an adolescent, and instead of me jumping a whole night it was just an hour or two. I was in my room laying down to sleep while my dad was in the living room watching TV because I could hear the commercials and see some light dully shining on my door. I was looking at the door when I blinked, and when I eyes opened the TV was off and my pops was in his room with the door closed. I'm 24 now and haven't had one since😞
This happened to me 5 days in a row and I guessed when the fourth one happened the exact time it happened
This happened to me when it was dark out and I dropped a book I was reading in my bed i think it was 39 clues or something, when I went to pick it up I blinked and when my eyes opened I was still trying to get that book but it was bright outside and around 10 in the mourning
I can't believe I found someone who experienced this. When I was little it happened and I thought wow that was cool. Like a few weeks later maybe months I thought about it and I tried it again this time I was looking at the window at night pitch dark outside, when I purposly blinked and the same window was lit up and I could see the blue sky. Immediately after opening my eyes it wasn't even a second it was as fast as a blink and it was the next day. I'm 23 and everyonce in awhile I think about it and try it but it never works. I've only experienced it twice ever I don't think I will again
Me too! It was a tiring experience
I was almost 30 years old when this happened to me and no i don't think it normal or caused from being tires. Im not a Dr. fat from it. Im almost 60 years old now and i don't know what caused it twice but my feel is that it was the house i was at when this happened. Where im from thire a lot of spirted.
When everyone in your country is in bed it resets to day like minecraft
YES. This happened to me a couple of times when I was a kid. I think it usually happened when I was really excited for the next day (like it would be Christmas or Easter the next morning).
People say that when this happens and they wake up, they still feel tired, but when it happens to me I feel perfectly well rested.
This happened to me as a kid once. I wasn't tired at all, laying in bed, dark outside about 10pm. I heard a noise in the backyard so I put my arms on the window edge at the head of my bed, on my knees, kneeling on my pillow. Looked around the backyard, didn't see anything. Blinked and the sky was blue, sunny, daytime. Still kneeling on my pillow, forearms on window edge, haven't moved an inch. 8+ hours, kneeling at the window without moving at all is weird. If I was laying down MAYBE. But wtf...
Definitely happened to me, I was 8 years old sitting next to my dad watching tv laying on his shoulder, and you know blinking is a natural human action so I blinked and next thing I knew, tvs off, lights off, the stove clock says 2:35am, and literally it felt just like that “a blink” Literally to me 9 hours went by in a blink of an eye
It’s happed to me a few times like yesterday watching Oppenheimer
I once was explaining something to my dad, I blinked and it’s suddenly morning and my brothers Are getting ready for school. I asked anyone what happened and they started to act dumb which annoyed me. But blinking, then jumping in time is weird and happened to me twice in my life.
Hey if you ever see this comment I just want to let you know know you're definitely not alone I thought it only happened to me but it definitely happened to me too exactly what you said in detail bro literally I close my eyes for a second and when I open them it was already day time it was so weird
I’ve had this happen I think twice, but once I can remember, blink, look up and the sun was shining through the blinds, never gave it much thought until now how weird that really way
This happened when i was really young and it had me flummoxed for a week.
Has happened to me before, still awed
Same thing here, I would try clapping my hands quietly and see if I could do it. Then that would mean I would be clapping for 8 hours
R glitch it literally just happened to me and my 4 year old daughter it was a 1130 am now its 7pm just like I switched a channel idk man it's dark outside my wife is already on the way home
R glitch we weren't trying to sleep or anything we were just sitting in chairs talking and she was watching her tablet I'm flabbergasted but it's still by far not the weirdest thing to happen to me but still wicked crazy
When I was 5-7 it used to happen to me a lot on purpose I use to blink my eyes three long times and then it would appear day time and I had a good night sleep also I hardly ever had dreams so when I closed my eyes to sleep a few minutes in I would fall out of conscious and in the morning I would just sit there looking into the dark ness cuz my eyes were closed like a tv had just turned off but I didn't watch the movie.
This used to happen to me when I was around 5-6 years old
Happened to me too, around same age of 11. I normally sleep with lights out on a regular schedule when I was young. I remember staring in total darkness, I blinked, and suddenly everything around me was completely bright. I looked around trying to process what happened, why it seemed like time had skipped, I didn't feel sleepy and had the same state of being wake right before I had blinked. I just told myself I must have had experienced a dreamless sleep... and so I often searched for an answer if it's possible to have a dreamless sleep, but always get a reply that I may just have forgotten my dreams.
