It might be you were tired and actually having a "cat nap".Happens to me when studying or concentrating too long on a project. :) x

I hear you. It’s annoying that things like that and feeling tired remind me of feeling disassociated and trigger my anxiety. Anxiety feels similar to the dissasociation of being really tired hence why my anxiety is worse when I am. But also normal things the body does can trigger anxiety in me like chest pain or dry throat etc. we’re all going to be ok! Sending positive energy your way... expedited shipping. Lol
