If there is one thing that people would hate when it comes to dying, it is the issue of encountering diseases such as epilepsy or Sudden Unexpected Death Syndrome. The latter is often deemed as something that results from superstition but it is real. There are several ways to which people explain it such overeating or failure to digest what you eat. But overall, the fact remains that they are not purely superstition but a reality in some deaths of people who are asleep.
It is a form of unlikely ways to which people call a betrayal of sorts since we are powerless when they attack. While we try to avoid them, you just have to note that awake or not, sudden problems such as the Sudden Unexpected Death Syndrome will strike at the least time you know it.
