Sometimes when i am lying on my back trying to fall asleep ill actually feel my self starting to fall asleep. My whole body gets really tingly and I get that feeling a dissociation, kind of. Sometimes it gets really intense and I have to shake myself really hard because I get scared. But it's hard to even move my body because im partly asleep. Has this ever happened to anyone else?
Happens to me every night basically and idk what to do to make it stop. I have seen a doctor and he told me to try melatonin and i did and it worked for a while until i had to up the dose for it to keep working and then at this point the melatonin was making me have insanely weird and creepy dreams and at that point i said fuck it i would rather deal with the sleep paralysis than the crazy dreams. for me its the same thing all the time i fall asleep and cant move but ccan since everything else and i get really scared and try to shake as much as possible to wake up and when i finally do i usually jump in my bed really hard and wake up my girlfriend. sometimes it seems like i will be shaking forever trying to wake up and others it seems like in only not able to move for a little before i wake up it Always veries. Also when i started smoking buds it would make it to where i would never ever have it as long as i went to bed highj but not that my tolerance is up and its used to it it no longer works and i am stuck dealing with it. one time i remember me and my girl where asleep and i had my hand on her head and during my sleep paralysis i remember moving my finger on her head and then a little after then i kept trying my hardest to wake up and i finally snapped out of it and at the time my girl didnt know that stuff messed with me so she was like damn why did you jump and i was actually not even gonna tell her and try to sleep again but i was like wait... did you feel me moving my finger on your head before i woke up? and she was like yeah thats what initially woke me up and then you jumped about 30 seconds after that or something. so one thing that i did conclude was that its not just in your head if you are physically moving and other beings can feel the change then its deff not just mental.. its weird stuff and for years i have tried to have the mindset that maybe something was wrong in my life and this was trying to tell me something so i would put this mindset on that i would tell my self no matter what i am going to embrace it instead of fighting it and see where it takes me. but everytime it happends i always just get scared or i will embrace it for a little then get scared and say man this is enough! its really bad when i wake up and every time i fall asleep it happends and it prevents me from getting rest. one thing that does usually work is after i wake myself from it i will go and get a snack from the kitchen and munch that down and drink something than head back to sleep and it usually goes away. but not all the time this works only sometimes. hope that helps:deadxmas:
I found this on google: http://www.wrongdiagnosis.com/sym/sleep_symptoms.htm I google 'bathroom' when i have to go pee. lol I hope you find out what it is! Btw, i hate it when doctors throw pills at you. My Grandma takes like 20 a day. But what are you going to do, not listen to the doctor?
does it feel like your bodies vibrating and do you see geometrical shapes or lines like inside of a computer or somethin?
Yeah pretty much, its really wierd i thought it may have something to do with lucid dreaming but im not really sure now.
your body is simply going into a very relaxed state. After all, what could possibly be more relaxing than dissociating from your body and getting a break from all the everyday aches, pains, and tiredness?
Happenned to me , few times in my life. I feel like let me relax and sleep, but the fear making me resists me. Like if the devil wanted to take me to hell, or like if i was about to die and i wanted to revive.
that happend to me also the vibrating and geometical shapes, and I usally force myself up and I still see the geometical shapes but I can still see where i am going becsue I usally go pee when i get up
sometimes.....As far as these "before you fall asleep feelings" in general, i get: deep thoughts, anxiety goes completely away(allowing to think more clearly), (and a sort of warm fuzzy feeling, but i thought it was just from the warm fuzzy blanket......). Anyways this is usually my favorite part of the day and i look forward to it. Also i've found the more tired you are the stronger it is. And even if I wake up earlier, run around and exercise the eniter day and goto sleep after midnight i'll begin to see these geometric shapes shortly after i lay down in my bed, but before i enter a dream. I was actually conscious entering my dream state last night because of how exhausted i was.
