It's easy. Well, I've commented on here many times and for what it's worth, I truly still believe it's the brain's mechanism that kicks in when there's a data overload...when there's just too much information looping in the thought process and the brain has a way to shut it off for a few hours for a little respite. Then when the brain's thought processes have regenerated because of the short inactivity, it kicks back on with little or no residual, depending upon the individual's emotional health prior to the episode. Some people are more inclined to fret about it than others. Some people are on prescription medications that can affect the emotional health after an episode. There's all sorts of variables. But if the individual is in very good health, there's likely to be no residual effects after an episode. The constant in all cases is that the person cannot recall what happened during the episode. However, as most recant on here, during an episode, it's a calm, non-stressful experience even with all the repetetive questions. There doesn't seem to be any anxiety. That's why it appears to be a welcome break for the over burdened mind. Instead of it being something to worry about, it seems to be something that's good for the mental health of the individual.
