The hypnagogic state refers to the transitional phase between wakefulness and sleep during which vivid experiences occur. In this questionnaire study, we assessed the self-reported prevalence of hypnagogic states considering the frequency of experiences in different modalities. We also assessed the emotional quality and the vividness of the experiences. Moreover, we compared hypnagogic states to other phenomena, such as dreams, sleep paralysis, imagination, and extra-sensory perception in these measures. Hypnagogic states were reported by 80.2 % of 4456 participants and were more prevalent in women than men. Experiences were most often kinaesthetic and visual, and less often auditory, tactile, and olfactory or gustatory. Hypnagogic states were less prevalent than dreams and characterized by different modality profiles. However, they were similar to dreams in their emotional quality, the irritation they caused, and in their vividness. In conclusion, hypnagogic states are quite common.
催眠状态是指在清醒和睡眠之间的过渡阶段，在此期间会出现生动的体验。在这项问卷调查研究中，我们评估了催眠状态的自我报告发生率，考虑了不同感觉模式下体验的频率。我们还评估了体验的情绪质量和生动程度。此外，我们还在这些指标中比较了催眠状态与其他现象，如梦境、睡眠瘫痪、想象和超感官知觉。在 4456 名参与者中，有 80.2%的人报告了催眠状态，女性比男性更常见。体验最常见的是运动觉和视觉，较少的是听觉、触觉、嗅觉或味觉。催眠状态比梦境少见，其感觉模式也不同。然而，它们在情绪质量、引起的烦躁程度和生动程度上与梦境相似。总之，催眠状态相当常见。
