Exploding Head Syndrome

Guest: Brian Sharpless, assistant professor and director of the university psychology clinic at Washington State University We've all been startled awake by a loud noise at some point. You're on-edge, maybe unable to get back to sleep again for a bit. Now, suppose you were awakened by an abrupt loud noise that no one else heard. They say you're nuts. You start to think maybe you are crazy. Especially as it keeps on happening-sometimes it so intense if feels like your head is exploding. This is a real thing, sometimes called Exploding Head Syndrome. It's long been associated with people over 50, but new research by Brian Sharpless at Washington State University suggests nearly one in five college students suffer from the syndrome, too. ;
