Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Hypnagogic sensations are sensations that occur just before falling asleep, such as floating or falling. These sensations can be incorporated into memories, especially if someone is already primed to believe in alien abductions. Sleep spindles, narcolepsy, and sleep apnea are unlikely to be factors in the creation of false memories about alien abductions.
