There is no question, Mike and Bridget are twins many years apart with one fathering the other but, when it comes to sleep habits, she is her mother's daughter. Is this all making sense?

Bridget tosses and turns, wakes up crying and talking non-sense. And I wake up to a large bang. Bad news, courtesy of Sleepeducation.com:

1. Do you imagine a sudden loud noise or explosion in your head just before falling asleep or just after waking up in the night?
2. Are these sounds normally free of any sense of pain?
3. Do these events wake you suddenly with a sense of fright?

If you answered yes to these questions, then you might have exploding head syndrome.

Ah, the ol' E.H.S. I've been saying it for years.
