Stuart, you think this is an April Fools joke/prank? To quote
Jack Paar: "I kid you, not!". Just click on the links -- they won't
disappear tomorrow.

P.S. For Tipsters who are wondering who the hell Jack Paar is/was,
see:

P.P.S. Shame on everyone who'd think I'd joke about such a
matter. Next time in class, just ask your students how many of
them have had their heads explode.

New research published in the "Journal of Sleep Research" shows
that up to 18% of a sample (N=211) of undergraduates experience
something called "Exploding Head Syndrome", a real clinical entity.
The research is being reported in the popular media and one example
is provided on the CBS news website; see:
http://www.cbsnews.com/news/exploding-head-syndrome-is-real-and-surprisingly-common/
The abstract is available on PubMed; see:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25773787
And the article can be accessed here:

By the way, if you search scholar.google.com for "exploding head
syndrome", you should get about 521 hits; see:

P.S. How many of you thought of the movie "Scanners" when you
saw the title? ;-)
P.P.S. Really, this has nothing to do with today being April 1.
Really.
