Things That Happen After Death According to Science

#13 Death Is An Evolved State Of Deep Sleep

Fortunately or unfortunately, there are people who have had near-death experiences, and their stories have revealed some hidden clues on what happens after we die.

In a study involving 55 people, scientists discovered that near-death experiences are like an evolved state of deep sleep entwined with nightmares. While some people experienced seeing an intense light, others experienced their bodies floating in mid-air.

Researchers further state that people who experienced near-death situations are more prone to REM intrusions, where the sleep overwhelms the wakeful consciousness.
