twice now i have been settling down to sleep, and i hear a large snap/crack in my head, the first time my GF said she heard nothing, and the second time i was alone but in a different place, i am worried a little about it.

It's the little man inside your bonce cracking open a tinny after a hard days work. Ignore it and let him have his "me" time.
I remember reading about this on another forum, I'll dig around and run some searches... but apparently it's a recognised sleep disorder, an audio hallucination basically. You know how if you get real tired you can start seeing things? And sometimes, more rarely, other things than extreme tiredness can trigger the same thing? Well it works with hearing too, and pretty much all the senses.
Occasionally when I'm drifting off, it feels like I've just dropped onto the bed, as if I'd been gently levitating and not noticed. Same category of wossname, apparently. I imagine a loud noise would be more disturbing though...
The advice on getting rid of such sensations is the usual "sound sleep" stuff, i.e. no alcohol, cigarettes, rich food etc. in the hours before bedtime, which will relax you and make it less likely for a random electrical signal in your brain to do something stupid.
Short answer: See a doctor if you like, but probably not worth getting worried about.

ah, i have been very tired lately. thansk for letting me know.
im really not getting loads of sleep, work is driving me potty, loads of people are being really nasty to me, not just out of meanness, but like today some fat woman pushed me. i didn't fall over but i didn't like it.
i spoke to HR about some of the nasty people but they (she) didn't do anything, and she is supposed to be my freind. as soon as my gf finds a job i am handing in my notice. i really felt like walknig out today.

Lesson Number 1.
HR are NOT your friend, they are the Managements 'undercover agent'.
Lesson Number 2.
Buy a box of donuts for your work colleagues....maybe once every couple weeks..You'll be Mr Popular in no time (especially with the fat chick).
Answer 1: electrical discharges in the brain can sometimes be heard as a loud snap, they usually fire when you're about to nod-off. I had it diagnosed a while back.
Answer 2: Just creaky muscles in the neck... Y'getting old mate :) Happens to me a lot.
Answer 3: Your head is falling off. Wrap loo-roll all around it and secure with sellotape or nappy pin. (I don't do this.)

I get this a shit load...I can crack my neck at will. I was told ages ago it's called Fibrocitis (spelling?).
When I crack my neck, people always say "Ooooo - did that hurt?". The funny thing is, it hurts more when I don't crack it as my neck feels like it's dislocated slightly.
Hi Mile I wrote you a long and informative answer, but lost the post when trying to post it, I will try to remember most of what I wrote tomorrow. Needless to say a basic precis of it was, don`t retaliate, there was lots of other insider info as well, as well as an offer to u2u me if it is really getting out of hand, there are many official ways of sorting this out. You know it makes sense !

Go see a doctor
Tell your g/f to stop cracking you on the head when you are nodding off
Start a thread on WOS.
I think you made the right choice.

i dont mean, she said 'im your freind here' i mean we were freinds before i started here.
(absolutely no apologies to anyone here who works in HR)
...unless they are ethnically diverse.
Our HR woman here is now openly dubbed "The Grim Reaper" due to the large number of people she has had to lay off over the last year or so...
HR are like the inmates in Auschwitz that help herd their buddies into the ovens.
sonder kommando. not far off there.

I must just be broken...:cry:
Ooh, yeah. That's it alright. Know the feeling. Ow.
how hot? This could be nasty!
...and you're back in Manchester soon? :grin:
in a different area.
Get her in a quiet area and f'king nut 'er!
that is a possibility.
What do you mean miles, I'm scared and he wasn't even talking to me :D
