That's how I hope to go, unlike the screaming passengers in my car.
People in the throes of death do not sleep.
Dying in one’s sleep seems as if it would be less and less likely the older one gets. Unless, I guess, you are one of the lucky ones who grow old without accumulating certain kinds of common infirmities.
Is the idea that one just runs out of gas?
I’m not sure about this idea.
More often than not, I would think, something takes you. The body naturally fights, but is overcome. This may be more common now that the tendency is to load senior citizens up with many different kinds of modern medicines.
Certainly those who are currently suffering and dying from adverse effects from vexxationation are not dying in their sleep. There is nothing natural about that kind of death. Death comes as a result of acute symptoms. The body will surely fight it. At the end, though, there will likely be no soothing sleep.
