A member asked:
Why is it better to die in your sleep then being awake?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Who says?: This is not an area where there are double blind studies comparing the outcomes. I think most people would rather slip into unconsciousness than feel scared or pain. There are some who may prefer to experience this event fully conscious. It may depend on your spiritual beliefs or support from family & friends. Let me know if you have any better answers.
