Sleepers

For me the sleeper has always been a painful experience, I like to fight it as long as I can, and I learned how through bjj. After it reaches a certain point, I know I've lost control and let it happen. I like opponents to shake my head, because it spoils my defense and makes it harder for me. Afterwards, no matter how much it hurt, I soon start fantasizing about it ,and I have a compulsive need to do it again.

You'd feel pressure in your face, in your eyes, and you'll get a sensation like hitting your funny bone in your arms and/or legs but it's not painful. Then you may have involuntary drunk movements in your limbs. Once you're out there can be a euphoric warmness and you may have a brief dream. When you wake up you may feel that tingling all over your body and still have involuntary movements and twitches for a couple seconds. You may be disoriented, not know where you are, how you got there, and you may not immediately recognize who you are with. Many times people don't remember going out, and the moments before can be hazy. Some people go out and insist they didn't. There is a story that my BJJ teacher told about someone waking up in a tournament apologizing and trying to leave the mat embarrassed, he thought he had woken up from a nap or something, I don't know but he didn't know he had been choked out. So there is a lot of variation to it. Just know that it's different for everyone, some people are really hard to read when they go out, some go into seizure (me), and anything in between so the person choking you needs to pay really really close attention. Choking someone out is very dangerous and every second after someone goes out that the choke is hold exponentially increases the risk of death. The margin for error really is like 3 seconds or so to let go, so don't go chasing deep chokes, don't play with anyone who wants to go deep, and limit the number of chokes in a session to 2 or 3 tops and keep them well spaced. Slow chokes are not safer and can increase the risk of aneurysm, ocular damage, and stroke. Headaches and nausea are a sign that you are pushing it too far.

Never been put in a sleeper

Baltimore MD area this week love to be sleepers out or sleeper you out. Anyone into meeting up?

It's going to vary from person to person as you can see everyone has different experiences.

For me, once it's applied right, I start to go numb from my feet and then it spreads upwards I close my eyes so I don't see the tunnel vision it helps me from freaking out.
Then I can hear whatever sound in the room growing more distant and quiet till next thing I know I feel like I am dreaming as I actually have physical dreams for a few seconds, then I wake up, a rush of endorphins fills my body and I feel a somewhat high feeling. Once I get past the disorientation for a few seconds I felt like I had a good night's sleep; however, for me, it actually helps reset my brain. If I am feeling anxious or something before, I don't feel afterwards, it's a very calm feeling.

Never been put in a sleeper.

With me, my ears ring, then my head goes numb. I may or may not have a dream, then I wake up. Maybe disoriented for a few seconds. Like going to bed, except for 8 hours, it's only a few seconds.

You can feel it at first, then your eyes grow heavy, your limbs start to go numb and then… you wake up

Would love to know what it feels like, can people give me an idea. Plus looking for people to help me explore this :D

Would be more than happy to help you experience them, however, your a bit too far.
