Oh, so sorry to hear.

I do get this sensation that my whole body is shivering or tingling before drifting to sleep. I feel my pulse, my heart too....The worst feeling comes when my mind thinks that something is not right therefore I get so scared, can not fall to sleep. Sometimes I need to read a book or watch something just to calm down and get back to sleep. It is awful because it happens at night. So I feel for you.

You know that it is panic attack therefore ride with it and it will pass.

Be gentle with yourself.

Maybe some sleeping aid would help.

I use Valerian capsules before sleep. They do work for me most of the time.

Warm bath before sleep, warm milk.

All the best

I’ve had loads when falling to sleep. It’s something to do with your body entering a different physical stage and then you jolt up and it has to start working full time again. Nothing to worry about, scary but nothing to worry about.

Not what you're looking for?
