Hey Meleina. What you’re experiencing is the feeling of your tense, anxious muscles relaxing so you can fall asleep. But, that relaxation to an anxious person can be a very frightening sensation. Just know you’re safe and try to breathe through it. It won’t harm you it’s just your body trying to relax :)

Omg yes! I thought that I was the only one. It will keep me awake and make me anxious. I’ve fallen asleep plenty of times when I get like that. I tell myself to just breathe and that I’m fine. Sometimes you just have to talk yourself down. ❤️ I hope that you can start sleeping better girl.
