Weird night.
First I was woken up at 2.30 am by the phone ringing. Except it didn't ring.
(I have had this happen before, and also been woken by the doorbell, but the doorbell didn't ring and there was nobody at the door.)
Then abruptly woken again at 5.30 am by something falling onto the hard floor. Except nothing fell and the floor is mostly carpeted. I even got up and wandered around looking to see what had made the noise.
I couldn't get back to sleep so now l am both puzzled and annoyed.

That happens to a friend of mine, too, that they wake up thinking doorbell rang but it did not. I think there's even a scintific name to that thing
@bade302b Phantom noises, experienced them myself once or twice . Usually someone calling my name, but other noises too.
I’ve always put mine down to stress.
Hope this is a one off experience !

Sometimes just as I’m falling asleep I get jolted awake by someone knocking on the door & I have a doorbell, but weirdly I believe they’re using a stick to knock with & yep - no one is there. Happens if I’m stressed or stressing about something.
@bade302b I sometimes get auditory hallucinations when I'm overtired and trying to get to sleep. It always happens when I'm almost asleep, and it can jolt me awake again. It's no fun when you're sure you heard something, but can't find the cause.
