What is the difference between falling asleep and passing out?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Syncope is not sleep: Passing out or syncope is an abnormal loss of consciousness that often times cannot be predicted. Sleep is a normal and required physiologic function of the human body. If you are having syncopal events then you need to be seen by your physician.
