I experienced this over several months some years ago. It was infrequent, but always when falling asleep- a loud bang like a gunshot or a bell directly behind my head. Interesting that they mention possible causes as stress and PTSD as it started occurring not long after I’d left an abusive relationship. Glad it didn’t stick around.
