Here’s a thing, we shut our eyes and go to sleep, now our bodies slow down and the brain turns off what is not needed at the time, now you don’t know your asleep till you wake up, so I think the brain keeps watch when we sleep because when we need the toilet it alerts us, so if you was to die in your sleep would the brain try and alert us, and would it feel pain, so do we really die in our sleep or just for a moment we wake and then pass. Just a thought?
In certain instances of course you'd probably know you are about to die, either from illness or some traumatic accident/injury.
Other times it happens in an instant, like a fatal heart attack or you die in your sleep. Then of course you don't know you are dead. I think the brain has a way of staying alive for a brief moment of time as your physical body systems shut down and you are clinically dead. I think it was mice experiments where brain showed some activity even after death. In those moments, while the brain can still fire electrical signals, it may give off some pleasant dream state AKA endorphins, to ease the trauma. You have final pleasant memories until it slowly fades away into darkness, for all eternity. You are no longer you, and that is final.

never posted in this forum all the years I've been a member; so I'm not trolling. Just happened to see the topic and after reading Suburban_Guy's post I was sitting here like
In all the years I've had time to think about death I just had not read it explained in such a way.
"you have final pleasant memories until it slowly fades away into darkness, for all eternity"
Have you always thought this was how we die or is it something you've thought over and decided yes, it must happen this way?
Because I can see how one could come to that conclusion but I certainly hope you're wrong. I already had plans to meet up with some former friends, family but most especially I was looking forward to seeing my pets again.

The fact that most pets live such a short life next to humans is some seriously cruel prank. Imagine how cool it would be if your dog could grow old with you.
