People Reveal the Near-Death Experiences That Changed Them Forever

This person’s experience was short and simple, with no light, voices, figures, or unusual scenery. Their clearest description was: “It was like sleep for me.” Only afterward did they learn the seriousness of what had happened.

They later found out they had been dead for five minutes, but the memory itself did not feel dramatic or frightening. There was no detailed vision to describe, just the sense of sleep and then the realization that those missing minutes had been much more serious than they felt.
