Sleep onset neuroscience explained: the mysterious moment consciousness dissolves into unconsciousness.

Explore the exact moment you fall asleep - a threshold you cross every night but can never witness. This deep dive into sleep onset reveals the shutdown sequence your brain executes, from adenosine accumulation to theta wave dominance, hypnagogic hallucinations to the final algorithm that powers down consciousness.

Discover why you can never remember the moment of falling asleep, how your brain transitions from alpha to theta waves, what happens during the hypnagogic state, and why awareness of sleep onset proves you're still awake. We explore the neuroscience of consciousness fading, NREM Stage 1 sleep, sleep pressure buildup, and the paradox at the heart of the wake-sleep transition.

Perfect for falling asleep to while learning about the very process happening in your brain.
