Sleep

[dodo]

This has happened a couple of times now but I'm scared I'm not going to get any sleep tonight again and I am so very tired.

Last night as I was drifting off I kept getting these warm rushes through my chest and they kept making me stay awake. I was so scared to go to sleep. Every time I tried to relax I got another of these warm rushes and they were really uncomfortable.

Also my heart was pumping hard. Not too faster than usual, just hard.

What is this and is it normal or is my heart in danger? I keep thinking every day I wake up that it's just a matter of time and that I'm waiting for my heart to stop working :(

It is very Interesting topic to discuss about sleep. Every Human have to take rest during in his daily work. Sleep, we all love it, especially when you wake up from a great night's sleep. GOOD HEALTH means Good SLEEP and High ALERTNESS. Transform your bedroom into a haven of comfort. Create a room that is dark, quiet, comfortable and cool for the best possible sleep.

Very often when we are just dropping off to sleep and going through the transition phase between waking and sleeping, we let down the conscious protective mental 'barriers' that we put up during the day to keep our anxiety in check and that's when it hits us big time. I have had this kind of experience many times and have often had panic attacks when I am dropping off to sleep or just waking up. It's scary and horrible but it won't hurt you, it is just the fear stored in your unconscious mind coming up to the surface.

Is it adrenalin rushes? The warm sensation is horrible. It feels like my heart has gone all wierd and with my fear being my heart I just can't believe this is normal.

I think that is exactly what it is dodo. I have had the same sort of thing. Sometimes when I am just dropping off I jerk awake in a panic with a racing heart and sweating and shaking,and then when I 'come round' I have no idea what the panic was about. I think it is just all those emotions that you keep hidden in the day escaping.
