I crashed (slept) in my car last night so maybe that had something to do with it and each subsequent instance was more dramatic than the previous one lol.

    Finally a video that explains it correctly, for anyone else who can’t be bothered to watch the video, pretty much while you are falling asleep everything in your body slows down (Including your heart) and when your brain “sees” this it thinks you are dying, it then picks between life or death (You won’t actually die XD) so it gives you a small shock similar to what you experience in the morning, your body gives you a small electric shock just enough to give you a small jolt

    sometimes when i fall asleep, i'll feel my hands, arms and fingers slightly jerking around.. .but i wont wake up but i know it's happening, i can feel it.
    What's also fascinating to me is RED sleep. It's amazing how the eyes move so fast during dream state.

    I was tapering off SNRI's years ago and I swear I woke up in mid air because I jolted myself up that much.
    Something that helped my muscle spasms from nerves later on was magnesium (TRAACS delayed release so it doesn't make you shit for days) and a lower dose of a beta/alpha blocker like propranolol.

Im fully aware of whats going on but at the same time I feel like if I dont wake up now, theres no coming back.. like im slowly dying in my sleep.. thank God until now I was always able to fight it off and jump up always out of breath and always trying to realize where Im at and if Im alive at all.. everything including myself feels soo unrealistic like im literaly trying to realize if Im alive..

      It’s like a random twitch when you’re really calm and falling asleep. Before the twitch occurs, it’s like you’re in a small dream and all of a sudden you feel yourself falling (I usually fall from a building) and then wake up

  • @dmtdreamz7706

    Sleep is like jumping out of an airplane without a parachute.
    So the bad news is that you don't have parachute, but the good news is that you discover there is no ground. And then you're just endlessly falling and you never reach the ground.
    So in a sense, what i'm asking you to do is to jump. And you don't want to jump. You're saying, I'm scared. I'm too scared to jump. And I'm saying, jump. God is telling you, jump, jump into infinite love and it's going to be great. But you're like, what if I kill myself and what if something else happens? I don't know. You just jump into infinite love. Take the leap of faith and you'll discover infinite love. And you're too scared to do it. But then eventually when you do it, then you're just going to discover that there's no ground. You're endlessly falling forever and it's great. But yeah, taking that leap is really difficult. It requires you to face your death. So of course, everybody is too afraid to do it. People are just to scared.

    For me I am half asleep when it happens and soo tired that I don't want to leave my bed but it's really weird, creepy and uncomfortable In a way that makes me not want to sleep at all.
    When I lay there I can just feel my body slowly starting to sink though my bed and then start to fall faster. The faster I fall the harder it gets to move and my surroundings starts to get weirder and weirder. And I have to slowky shake myself awake from fingertips to arms then my whole body to not have some weird lucid dream I can wake out of.
    Like one time time when I fell I didn't wake myself in time and I got stuck in a cave underwater trying to swim up to the surface and wake myself up. But weird characters and things started appearing and got in the way. But at last I reached the surface and woke up. hate when it happens and it ruins my night. Sorry for bad English lmao

      Yeah, this describes it perfectly. I am experiencing it almost every day since I was 10. And I am almost 30 now. And I still can't get over how scary it is. Sometimes I just keep going without waking myself up. And this falling sensation goes on for two minutes. Constantly. I am seeing weird shapes and hearing scary random screams and voices. It's great to see someone who has the same difficulties. God bless you.
