I don't have any sleep disorders that I've been actually diagnosed with but for the last week or so possibly longer only at night when going to bed i be so sleepy but once i start dose or trying to fall asleep i always jerk awake like it feel like my heart stops and starts real slow my hands and feet sweat and my forehead doesnt really sweat but it gets moist and my heart rate will go up a lil bit but it'll come back down and sometimes i can't get comfortable to dose off and when i do dose off for a few every lil thing wakes me up and when my brain starts to dream every dream has awaken me and its hard to get back to sleep then eventually I am able to dose off and im sleeping good but it only does this at night for the 1st 15mins of me trying to fall asleep or sometimes it takes me awhile to get comfortable & dose off!

I get this sometimes. Going for walks helped me. Any kind of movement or exercise. Have you tried reading? Anxiety is difficult to let go of. Even when I didn't feel anxious I was thinking about it. Try distracting yourself with a book before bed.
