Am I the only one that understands you probably wake up when you're dying from a heart attack or stroke in your sleep?

Not always true, especially for the elderly. If you have the kind of heart attack that would drop someone who was conscious (about 5% of heart attacks) you wont wake up. Studies show that stroke victims almost never wake up if they are asleep when it strikes. They either die or slip into a comatose state that they must be awoken from.
