You are not dying!! God is with you, don't worry, you are safe and it's all in your head. Just be calm and have a good night sleep. The chances of anything bad happening to you is like .00001% don't worry 😊

Before falling asleep just think positive things and then relax and fall asleep. Just listen to music!

I have the same feelings a lot.

I think it comes from your body being overly stressed, and when your about to fall asleep your body freaks out thinking it's dying or something and you jolt "awake

Horrible feeling for sure

I have sleep apnea and that is exactly how I feel when I fall asleep without my cpap...perhaps you should have a sleep study..
