While I was nearly awaking myself from sleep I enteted this semi-woke phase and experienced 3 VERY strong surges of virbrations...

[SanjithHealth]

So I was pretty much at the end of my sleep and I kinda woke up but was still sleeping. But I couldn't move at all.... I could twitch my fingers and flick my toes but then all of a sudden my body gave me a very huge sense of vibrations. It was associated with an image If I could remember correctly. I eventually woke up after like a minute (well in my sende of time). This was not the first time of this happening. Im quite scared

Ok, this is weird. I get the same paralysed feeling on occasion, you know you're still asleep but inside your mind you're quite awake but not in control of your body. Odd, to say the least.

I also get woken up sometimes with my whole body shuddering uncontrollably it usually lasts for a minute or two after waking up.

[SanjithHealth in reply to GT500]

The first time I had it, I just thought it was me in a dream but thinking I was awake. But this time I was 100% convinced i was in my room getting ready to wake up

Sanji, I have written about this in my thread. I haven't had an episode since then but had had them before. Is this how it is with you?

Hello, I have an answer! In my case definitely and maybe yours, it is most likely an issue called Dsyautonomia or related to a "POTS" syndrome. (ANSWER: Sleep with your head at about a 45 degree angel above your heart. Like a slightly upright hospital bed). Which is a automatic nervous system disorder and/or a form of orthostatic intolerance. The development of symptoms that come on when standing up from a reclining position, and that may be relieved by sitting or lying back down ( in my case and in some others, the opposite, from down to up). Link of SOURCES at the bottom. Here is my story;

When all this vibrating first happened, I was really freaked out. Thinking it had to be practical things at first like the air condition machine, washer/dryer, micro earthquake, and of course the most rational, the paranormal lol. This vibrating issue was happening 3 to 4 nights every other month or so over the past year. But then over a few more instances, and a little of my own tests during those episodes, I found out it was me that was vibrating, not my environment. So, I had to do the good ole process of elimination; This only seemed to happen at night when I was laying down. But then when I got up, it stopped. It had to be something with that action. That lead me to more "official" medical sources. And so, I looked in to stuff related to the systems that are being activated and/or affected with that action. And thus, my rabbit hole began lol- My "vibrating" issue for me, was immediately resolved by keeping my head at about a 45 degree angle above my heart when sleeping. This is essentially tricking the same system that was tricking the rest of me, which was giving me episodes.

Understanding this and how it worked, resolved my short term vibrating issue almost immediately. I am doing this nightly till I can get proper treatment. The most common "relief" and symptom treatments (as there is no cure) are attributed with positive lifestyle changes (i.e. diet, exercise). I was searching online for answers but there really wasn't anything but these forums (before I found my source), with everyone still guessing as to what it could be. So, having done some research, and being validated with resolving my own personal issue, I had to come back here to post. I saw this forum when I first searched myself. Hoping this will help the next "me" -

Holy crap, yes I get that. I thought it was just a surge of adrenaline or something to do with my meds.

It's definitely the moment of panic that wakes me.

Do you sometimes hear a bang with it. Almost like a firework exploding.

[SanjithHealth in reply to GT500]

to be honest, I don't hear it, but It kinda strikes like a bang.

[deborah27 in reply to GT500]

i get this all the time, it really takes away what should be pleasurable... going to bed. i hate it. it's like a powerful internal jump start, an explosion, a bomb going off in my head too. it scares me half to death because i dont understand it. even when it isn't so severe, i have frequent 'pinging' in my head. i have become panicked by it and afraid, then comes the adrenalin. what on earth is it!!

[GT500 in reply to deborah27]

It is flipping odd isn't it. Although there's no pain of even discomfort it's very disconcerting and does cause a few moments of panic every time. It's been five and a half years since my coiling and I never had this before.

Yes I get this, it’s a horrible feeling. Like half awake, half asleep but being aware. It happened more in the early years after my brain injury. I assume it’s when the brain awakes but the movement of the body is still in sleep mode.

But it’s an awful feeling...

[SanjithHealth in reply to ErinSAH]

I have a feeling the vibration is when the brain realizes it is awake but finds out the body isn't, so it sends these pulses to wake it up.

[moo196]

I had this a few times. Some well before my brain illness.

Once when my youngest was a few months old and he was in his cot crying..... I remember being in bed wondering how I could hear him needing me, but could not move however much I tried. It was scary, but probably only lasted a few seconds.

Have had it a couple of times since brain illness..... But not often.

I'm sure it has a proper medical name, but can't think of it right now.

Good luck

[GT500]

It's called sleep paralysis I think.
