This happens because in severe head trauma such as a concussion, your occipital lobe which is the visual part of the brain will smash into your skull resulting in seeing images such as a star.

Your statement is rather broad and to say that most do is not accurate. People fall different ways and it depends how they fall if they hit their head or not. Some fall forward and may only go down on a knee, while others may slip and fall sideways or backwards. The backwards fall may result in more hitting their heads than other falls just because of the way they fall.

What are the notes to make the Hydra fall asleep on Mythology Island?

The reed pipe is to make Cerberus fall asleep. You are a lot less gentle with the Hydra. Get close enough and it will try to hit you with one of its five heads. Before it can hit you, jump up, and land on the head when you come down. Repeat this for the remaining heads before any can revive. Swim under the Hydra to get a scale.
