#splashdowns

[spicycheeser]

You know what I hate? I don’t know if there’s a term for it but I call them Splashdowns. It’s when you’re just about to drift off to sleep but your body relaxes faster than your mind and the sensation all that normal rigidity softening makes it seem like something’s collapsing underneath you and that you’re about to fall so your mind jolts you awake again. I hate that.
