Not to unconsciousness, though I have been unconscious from asthma.

But are you going to invoke the `principle of coincidence,' too?

What detailed mechanism do you suggest? I am keen to see the refs.

There may be some suspicion in some that you are taking a laugh at a 
principle of moving tension from one area to another. Of course between 
different people there are differences. One has the vertical frown lines 
above the nose. Another has horizontal ones. Some use both for 
expression.

Perhaps the body likes the rapid electric nerve pulses to contract muscles.
Maybe there is competition to assert itself against other electrical 
signals.

Take another laugh if you are laughing, but the hospital bite specialist 
I went to some years back suggested to watch videos in my own time rather 
than TV. I did not get into videos but haven't watched much TV till 
recently. Sometimes my heart races. What is the reaction to that when one 
goes to sleep? Muscle tension?

Then there is cold. That can cause muscle tension. The start of a shiver 
which is not completed.

Or a hard bed. On an air bed the blood flows better.

If the brain has been damaged by a knock then it may have had to relearn. 
So it will be less able to deal with new demands. The idea is to reduce 
extra demands as much as possible. 

Thanks all for reading. In searching for novocaine and seizure, I think it
was I came up against the idea of magnesium sulphate (epsom salts) helping
against some seizures. I have had about 1/8 teaspoon over the last 12
hours or so and it seems to be helping. 

Sea salt is about 4% magnesium I think. Salt and potassium chloride in 
ratio 2:1 help stop my heart from racing. But maybe the magnesiumn was 
part of that. It is hot weather here in the southern hemisphere and 
sweating costs salts.
