    Try To Fall Asleep is an indie horror game that has taken my Theorist brain by storm. Since playing it, I HAD to do a theory. The story revolves around our player character, a man tormented by hallucinations while awake AND asleep. We have to try to fall asleep for our own good, or so our Doctor says. I am going to piece together all of the puzzle pieces of our time awake and dreaming to figure out what is going on at the CENTER of this awesome horror game. Let's go!

I love the lore, but stick a horror game/movie in front of me, and I will run from it for my life, they give me nightmares, and yet, this, I can casually sit through and be like: Hmmm, yes, very interesting... Oooh, morbid...

      Funny story. When I was in the era between falling asleep and being awake, I saw a big, tough-looking man and he looked like he was going to beat the crap outta me. Because I knew I was dreaming, I was like "Come at me. I know you're not actually going to hurt me!" (in my dream). He punched me and I felt something hit me. I woke up. I have no medical problems.

    The story about the guy who survived the nightmare death thingy, had sleep paralysis. It matched all the symptoms. I personally don't think I have ever had it, but I may have as a child because of night terrors I had that mixed with reality (I still occasionally have them when I'm sick and it is terrifying the way it mixes with reality). To this day actually, I've accidentally mixed up my dreams I had as kid with reality and apparently a few months ago I got out of my loft bed while dreaming and walked into my mom's room complaining about how I didn't want to go to military camp or smth (I don't remember it and I still have no idea how I got out of my loft). Anyways, my mom had a version of sleep paralysis once (she was in a room identical to her's in real life and knew she was in bed but couldn't move. She ended up hitting her foot against her bed in her dream to wake herself up and actually went on the radio to talk about it), but she said that there was no dark figure.

    It takes me so long to fall asleep at night, I'm so afraid that something is just watching me when I can't see them or someone is just in my room while my eyes are closed. I literally cover my eyes with my hair every night so whenever I get that feeling, I'll feel safe to open my eyes to check because it makes me think that if something does end up being in my room they might not see me open my eyes with my hair there. Takes me at least an hour maybe to actually start dozing off..-

    You know how when you “trip“ while sleeping and wake up and it’s supposedly because your heart rate was getting two low so your body jolts itself with adrenaline. What if they die during sleep because their body created a monster due to the ptsd and while asleep their body convinced itself it’s real and so when their monster “catches them” their body believes they’re dead and so slips away. No heart attack or anything it just slowly decreases until it stops (that might be a heart attack idk I’m not good at biology). Also the shadows and pressure on the chest sound like sleep paralysis.

    • @Blitztein_beta
      @Blitztein_beta Před 4 lety +60

      It's actually your muscles that relax too much, that causes the feeling of vertigo, or the "falling" that makes you in return jolt. The adrenaline is secondary.
      If the person has a heart condition then it's more likely that the "jolt" feeling will vasodilate the veins to the point that the heart can't keep up with the flow anymore, kind of causing a heart attack? It's possible that John actually has PTSD from the thought of having a life-ending jolt of terror, like aneurysm, or less likely, a heart attack, so the jumpscare itself is what kills him
      Y'know, It's always just a theory at the end of the comment.

      I thought the exact same thing. My boyfriend has had the exact same scenario of mysterious shadow like figure approaching the bed, climbing onto him, and nearly suffocating him on multiple occasions. It hasn’t happened to him in a while, but he has trouble sleeping because of it.
      Night terrors are also pretty similar but they don’t make you paralyzed. You feel like you’re awake because the dreams take place where you fell asleep. I experienced this when I was preschool age. According to my mother, she’s woken up to me screaming and trying to open the front door *in my sleep* .

    This is my theory: Perhaps, Dr Norberg is taking advantage of John’s condition. He may be creating these sounds and visuals, but claiming it is just his condition. Dr Norberg is gas lighting him. Then he makes his condition worse and worse so he can force John to give him excessive amounts of money for real treatment. However, as the condition is rare, Norberg doesn’t know about John likely dying in sleep. With no way to fix his condition and Norberg making it worse, John has worse, even more deadly nightmares eventually killing him in one way or another.
    But that’s just a theory... A Person Man theory!

      Given the general setting of the game, it appears to have taken place many years before the present (Think the 80s with the decor and electronics around). While it is most likely true that our protagonist does indeed have some matter of brain trauma, there might be reason to suspect that what is going on is actually an experiment. In some ways, this could be an unethical case study being conducted by a corrupted, amoral company, or maybe even one backed by the Feds (Think MKULTRA). It seems likely that our 'good doctor' may be introducing hallucinogenic drugs and other things in order to worsen the sleep deprivation itself to study their effects or the effects of severe sleep deprivation.

    Sleep Deprivation is a whole other level. I have had experiences with psychedelics and nothing of that came close to what I experienced under sleep deprivation. I don't sleep well, and I got phases where I cannot sleep more then a few minutes for days. Nowdays I go it under control, but a few years back it could be very bad. And at one point I did not sleep for the better part of a week. And about at day four he real hallucinations set in. Before it was flashes of colors, a smell or my name being called. But when it really stared? At one point I was at the postal office, and while waiting I suddenly fund myself standing on a lush clearing, the sun shining warmly down on me and birds chirping. I even had the smell of wet earth and greenery in my nose. Only to be ripped right back when asked if I was okey. The sheer realness of that hallucination was the scary part. For a moment I actually was in that clearing.
