New research published in the "Journal of Sleep Research" shows
that up to 18% of a sample (N=211) of undergraduates experience 
something called "Exploding Head Syndrome", a real clinical entity.
The research is being reported in the popular media and one example
is provided on the CBS news website; see:
http://www.cbsnews.com/news/exploding-head-syndrome-is-real-and-surprisingly-common/

The abstract is available on PubMed; see:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25773787

And the article can be accessed here:

By the way, if you search scholar.google.com for "exploding head
syndrome", you should get about 521 hits; see:

P.S. How many of you thought of the movie "Scanners" when you
saw the title? ;-)

P.P.S. Really, this has nothing to do with today being April 1.
Really.
