Somatic sleep metric utilities

Why somatic gets its own hub

Indexed dataset: 11 high-density utilities. Full DB held offline from index until promoted. This hub is not a blog about “somatic dreams.” It is the index of 11 high-density metric utilities currently allowed to crawl. Each card is a different symptom × somatic × context triple. Same phase, different hardware. Mixing N1/N2/N3/REM into one omen paragraph is how thin pages get born; this URL refuses that mix.

Contexts present in the live somatic index: awakening, mid-cycle, onset, fragmentation. Symptom families: Hypnopompic somatic surge, Sleep paralysis at REM–wake border, Partial REM atonia failure, Exploding-head sensory burst (physiological), Fragmented REM with micro-arousals, Periodic limb movements in sleep, Confusional arousal motor residue (N3 exit), Sleep-onset breathing pause (physiological), Hypnic myoclonus (sleep start), Tachycardia in hypnagogia, Sleep-related bruxism (jaw clenching). If two links look similar, read the context suffix — onset is not awakening; fragmentation is not mid-cycle. Cortical language for this stage stays inside somatic physiology, not a personality metaphor.

Row-level facts currently indexed for somatic

Open a utility when you woke with a body fact that matches the title, not when you merely searched the phase name. Full somatic batch (11):

REM/awakening: Hypnopompic somatic surge — Hypnopompic somatic surge · REM/awakening · 6–14 Hz mixed. Atonia partial_failure. Markers: whole-body jolt, breath catch, skin crawl. Density 130.

Sleep paralysis at REM–wake border · theta 4–8 Hz · REM — Sleep paralysis at REM–wake border · REM/awakening · 4–8 Hz theta. Atonia preserved. Markers: limb immobility, chest pressure, inability to vocalize. Density 121.4.

Partial REM atonia failure in REM sleep (mid-cycle) — Partial REM atonia failure · REM/mid-cycle · 4–12 Hz mixed. Atonia partial_failure. Markers: twitching limbs, talking / vocalization, brief motor breakthrough. Density 121.

Exploding-head sensory burst (physiological) in N1 sleep (onset) — Exploding-head sensory burst (physiological) · N1/onset · 5–12 Hz mixed. Atonia N/A. Markers: loud internal bang percept, scalp jolt, startle freeze. Density 118.

Fragmented REM with micro-arousals · theta 4.04–10.17 Hz · REM — Fragmented REM with micro-arousals · REM/fragmentation · 4.04–10.17 Hz theta. Atonia partial_failure. Markers: brief body shifts, dry mouth on wakelets, micro-arousal body hitch. Density 114.8.

Periodic limb movements in sleep in N2 sleep (fragmentation) — Periodic limb movements in sleep · N2/fragmentation · 8–14 Hz mixed. Atonia N/A. Markers: rhythmic leg kicks, ankle dorsiflexion, micro-arousal after kick. Density 112.6.

Confusional arousal motor residue (N3 exit) · mixed 1–6 Hz · N3 — Confusional arousal motor residue (N3 exit) · N3/awakening · 1–6 Hz mixed. Atonia N/A. Markers: slow clumsy movement, mumbled speech motor, disoriented posture. Density 111.6.

Sleep-onset breathing pause (physiological) · theta 4–8 Hz · N1 — Sleep-onset breathing pause (physiological) · N1/onset · 4–8 Hz theta. Atonia N/A. Markers: breath hold feel, chest stillness, gasping restart. Density 110.4.

Hypnic myoclonus (sleep start) · theta 4–7 Hz · N1 — Hypnic myoclonus (sleep start) · N1/onset · 4–7 Hz theta. Atonia N/A. Markers: sudden limb twitch, falling sensation, brief heart-rate spike. Density 110.

Tachycardia in hypnagogia in N1 sleep (onset) — Tachycardia in hypnagogia · N1/onset · 5–8 Hz theta. Atonia N/A. Markers: racing heartbeat, warm flush, restless limbs. Density 110.

Sleep-related bruxism (jaw clenching) in N2 sleep (mid-cycle) — Sleep-related bruxism (jaw clenching) · N2/mid-cycle · 11–16 Hz sigma. Atonia N/A. Markers: jaw tension, tooth grinding, temporalis tightness. Density 109.

How to work a night that belongs on this hub: 1) write the first twenty seconds of residue (heat, weight, mute, twitch, jaw, breath). 2) pick the somatic card whose title names that residue. 3) read that row’s gauges and markers — numbers are URL-specific. 4) carry the row into Lab Search; do not paste a symbol. 5) if the night was mostly plot, use Dream Meaning; if it was mostly body, stay in /somatic.

somatic is a sleep-architecture label, not a type of person. N1 is a theta gate into sleep, N2 a sigma/spindle window, N3 a delta well, REM a dreaming state with spinal atonia. This page only lists somatic. Neighbor hubs: N1, N2, N3, REM.

What this hub will not do: diagnose apnea, REM sleep behavior disorder, or psychiatric disease. Persistent dream enactment, choking, or daytime collapse needs a clinician. What it will do: keep somatic metrics honest so Decode is not guessing from a plot summary. Methodology lives on About; Lab Notes by Vigen sit at /notes.
