Have you ever been knocked out or disoriented? It's mostly confusing.

Death could be like that too. A flood of signals you're unfamiliar with and a lack of signals you're used to having.

It probably depends on how much warning you have and your willingness / readiness to pass as well.

Kind of like if you're really tired and can't wait to fall asleep vs. scared and trying to keep yourself awake.

Reading your comment gives me such an unsettling feeling. You nailed it. I think death is the ultimate form of discomfort. Our bodies refuse to let us die peacefully under most circumstances. They fight with every last breath and every last heartbeat, to keep going. And all the usual signals of comfort are gone, with one just left bare before the universe. Think motion sickness + nausea + all the other terrible feelings combined, and you cannot just give in, you just have to endure until you're gone.
