Actually, the brain itself weighs about 3 pounds. With bones and muscle and stuff, the adultish (teenage to adult) human head weighs around 10 pounds. It's probably really interesting to hold people's heads up like that, gives you a cool appreciation for our neck strength.

I have it too! From what I hear about sleep paralysis, that's much worse, but it's definitely still unsettling when you're just drifting off to sleep and suddenly your brain short-circuits. It's weirdly not painful, but the shock and sound can sort of be interpreted as pain. At any rate, it always feels like my brain just ran a marathon immediately afterwards.
