Hello artwanna. YES! I hate that feeling. When I first had it I slept in my parents bed for an entire week. Do you get any strange sensations along with that fear?

The dizziness could be your mind relaxing to let you sleep. I’m telling you the feeling of relaxation that sweeps across a tense and worried body can really scare you. Just take deep breaths and remind yourself that you are healthy and safe.

Well in a sense you are fading out as your conscious mind is going to sleep. it does this though so that you can wake up refreshed in the morning. It is normal. x
