Poll: Ever Lost Conciousness?

[KSarty]

Wrestling with my brother when I was about 8 years old I think. I jumped on his back and he flipped me over him, the back of my head hit a screw poking out of the wall. No serious damage, but he told me later that I was out for a few seconds.

 

[Hashime]

Surgery when I was young, I passed out completely after getting up quickly, all the blood left my head. I also passed out after a water fibre glass cast was put on my broken ankle, it got very hot and like above, the blood left my head. I once also fell asleep standing up in church, I took someone else down as I fell.

You forgot trauma. When I broke my arm the geniuses at the crappy hospital were going to send me to the nice hospital in my mom's car until I passed out in the gutter. Was only out for a minute or so but I was out cold.

Same sort of thing happened the first time I donated plasma. Also anesthesia for the broken arm and some recent exploratory surgery of the abdomen.

Once upon a time I was a boxer in an unsanctioned amateur club using pro rules. Fought between 147 and 160. Had no business fighting at 160. Found that out the hard way when an honest-to-God middleweight put leather to the side of my head.

You shouldn't fuck around in boxing, especially when going against trained guys. Every pound can make a difference. I trained for a bitwhen I was younger and then fought against my friends (who had no idea of the sport), they were a good 30-50 pounds heavier than me and I almost knocked one out.

We just made pizza, I was standing and about to get a piece. Then I got dizzy, everything got quiet, and everything went dark. I felt myself hit the floor, but it didn't hurt. One minute later I came to and was fine.

Still though, wasn't the most fun experience I've had. But it was oddly peaceful. Its really hard to describe, but it was oddly calming. This may sound contradictory to what I said about it not being the most fun experience, but it wasn't fun. I realized what could happen and it scared me.

When I passed out it was eerily similar. It felt really good. I was almost in a trance. It was like a dream but everything felt peaceful and I saw great white colours which I was floating by...and then BAM! I'm lying on the floor. Shitty experience, but the dream like vision was worth it. I kind of felt like hugging a tree afterwards .

Isn't sleep just going unconscious for a while?

 

[NotAPie]

I saw my sister drinking a shot of...something.
Anyway I was 10 I drank the shot she left (in my defense I am kind of an idiot.) and next thing I knew my I was asleep in my bed.
My mom was mad at me.

 

[Double A]

If ya count sleeping, yes. If ya don't... no.

 

[Kimarous]

Well, besides the obvious answer of "sleeping", only thing that might count is being sedated for operations I had in my childhood.

 

[Purplefood1]

I had an operation on my eyes so they gave me anasthetic to knock me out.
I also ran into a pole and knocked myself out for about five minutes or so which was embarrassing but i got the next day off school so it was worth it.

 

[Gudrests]

twice..that i remember.. once at wrestling practice... i was wrestling 1 kid and another came up and slamed me on my head...and the other time was weird..

i was walking down the steps in school really fast and i remember going mid air. then nothing.
i blacked out mid air.
when i woke up there was a senior standing over me going... YOU OK!?!?!...my hand was still holding the banister where it was..(kinda twisted).....and there was 20 people around me. i have no idea why i would of passed out mid air. it was quite strange. later i preceded to hop down 4 flights of steps with 1 foot. (i think i twisted the other foot..or something idk) and was fine...weirdest shit ever... and the weirdest part was. nothing hurt....untill i moved my thumb..that hurt and my foot ...me lying on the floor..my head,body, other leg..were all fine..and i was quite a bit up when i fell too

 

[TheExplodingZAC]

I watched someone pass out from dehydration once. They locked their knees and face planted on the concrete, kinda scary.

 

[Velvo]

I pass out pretty much every day, for several hours. It's pretty insane, actually. I hallucinate vividly for a couple hours of it, but then most of the time I have amnesia about the whole experience. Thankfully my body gets paralyzed for it. Some people with my condition walk about while totally unconscious! And then some people wake up but are still paralyzed and hallucinating! Scary stuff.

 

[Jfswift]

heh, I've blacked out from drinking too much. I'm not proud of it, nor do I drink really much of anything anymore.

 

[child of lileth]

I have a bunch of times. Mostly just from head injuries (cracking my skull open, falling on black ice, and so on.). Once from anesthesia. And I'm sure there's other times I'm forgetting.

 

[spacecowboy86]

i am known to fall unconcious every night upon a matress...

 

[Trivun]

I once passed out for about a minute in the bathroom one morning. I still to this day have no idea what happened or why, and it's never happened since... o_0

 

[thethingthatlurks]

Anesthesia from when I got my wisdom teeth taken out. Fun, but I hit my head when I got back into the car, although painkillers are always welcome...
Then there's some sleep aids I've taken for my insomnia. Didn't knock me out per se, but it was eerie how fast I fell asleep
'course, there's always alcohol. Hm, ethanol...

 

[Steven True]

Technically speaking you are still conscious when you sleep.

 

[A Weary Exile]

I was kicked by a horse, I woke up several hours later lying on a couch.

I'm sure this ha nothing to do with it, but I just got the image of you trying to push one out a little too hard... it tickled me.

OT: I passed out when I tried to give blood. I felt like I was floating at first, then there was what I can only describe as a humming bird heard through a tin can. It was scary at the time because I didn't know what was happening, but in retrospect it was a rather pleasant sensation....
