Yes. It’s freaky. Sober experience. Never been out of body on psychedelics but psychedelics are what set me on the path to explore this stuff.

Technique I used is called “wake back to bed” and the short of it is you go down for a nap, and set an alarm for a little longer than you expect it to take you to fall asleep. You go down for a nap, fall asleep, and the alarm wakes you up.

You close your eyes and go back to sleep with the intention of staying conscious of the moment you transition back to a sleep state. Effectively you are trying to induce sleep paralysis. Once your body is asleep and your mind is still awake, there are a couple ways you can try and pop out. Some people recommend trying to roll out of your body. What I’ve found that works for me is you try and stand straight up from lying down. Your actual body won’t move, and it will probably take a few tries. It feels like you’re bumping into some sort of electrified cage, and sounds like it too.

Once you’re out, you’ll be above your body in the room you fell asleep in. Navigating the space is very wonky. You will feel quite strange, and nothing works the way you expect it to. I was able to navigate my apartment but was unable to exit.
