Can one really become unconscious at his/her will?

I doubt it, but if it is possible I’d give it a go.

Unconscious as in fainting?

At will? I don’t think so.

Unconscious at will… you mean sleeping?

As @rebbel just said. like fainting.

It is not at will. It is fainting. From Wikipedia:
“A vasovagal episode or vasovagal response or vasovagal attack[1] (also called neurocardiogenic syncope) is a malaise mediated by the vagus nerve. When it leads to syncope or “fainting”, it is called a vasovagal syncope, which is the most common type of fainting.

There are a number of different syncope syndromes which all fall under the umbrella of vasovagal syncope. The common element among these conditions is the central mechanism leading to loss of consciousness.”

Fainting, by the way, is pretty easy to achieve purposely.
I did that twice, in my teens, and i was really ‘gone’.
I wouldn’t recommend it, because i don’t know if it is a dangerous thing to do.

@marinelife Interesting fact! Is there any possibility that we(human) could manipulate our body and neuron system to become really unconscious?

@rebbel May I ask what method did you use?

I have a couple employees who apparently are masters at this.

@Doctor_D
I’ll PM you.

20 mg of Valium and out like a light for 6 hours, guarranteed.

@stranger_in_a_strange_land Sounds good! Is that really safe?

If you’re in bed: yes. If you are driving down a highway: no. And no if you happen to be allergic to it or have some other adverse effect.

Can I ask why you’re interested in this?

@nikipedia Well,Basically I’m still sane. I see some possible usefulness and benefit behind this. Well,just say,if somehow your boss/friends want you to do something they think you must do but you don’t want to do it then you could use this trick to get away from the problem,if you want to earn other people’s sympathy toward your problem,to over dramatize some situation if necessary,etc. I’m quite manipulative and opportunistic through acting. I want to really become unconscious so I can’t be blamed and I won’t feel guilty for doing that.

Here’s another way: One Tequila Two Tequila Three Tequila FLOOR!

@OneMoreMinute LOL! Also sounds good! Two glasses of red wine works well on me. I’ve never tried Tequila before,but maybe I should give it a try sometime. Oh my head….

@Doctor_D: Um… why not just say no if you don’t want to do something?

@nikipedia If it will really work that way I wouldn’t have to ask this question(actually I’m just curious about the fact behind people’s unconsciousness in my question,the benefit behind this is my second/minor curiousness). Sometime you need clever way to solve some problem.

@Doctor_D Well then, have you ever tried Melon Margaritas, blended…at just about any Mexican restaurant. I love red red wine too!

@OneMoreMinute I’ve never tried that too. But thanks for your recommendation. I hope it’s tasty.

I’m pretty sure your examples are those of shock. Not of free will.
