In conclusion, research has made great progress in recent years, and we are one step closer to demystifying the hypnagogic state.Įvery night, we pass through a transitory zone at the borderland between wakefulness and sleep, named the first stage of non-rapid eye movement sleep (N1). Lastly, a better understanding of the purpose of hypnagogic states is needed. Second, a better understanding of why hypnagogic states occur so frequently in the visual and kinaesthetic modalities is needed. First, a better understanding of the emotional quality of hypnagogic states is needed. Then, we evaluate the six future directions suggested by Schacter and we propose three further future directions. After a short introduction discussing the terminology used in hypnagogia research and the differentiation of hypnagogic states with other related phenomena, we review the reported prevalence of hypnagogic states. In this review, we compile and discuss the recent scientific literature on hypnagogia research regarding the future directions proposed by Schacter (1976 Psychological Bulletin, 83, 452). The hypnagogic state refers to a transitional stage between wakefulness and sleep, in which sensory perceptions can be experienced.
