I've been pretty sick lately - so it's worse than usual - but often I get this feeling like my body is shutting down. My mind will be attentive/awake, but my eyes get heavy, and clearly there's some physical desire to sleep. However, I'm usually too anxious to actually nap or go to bed and start to dissociate worse and worse...

I know it's easy to connect stress/panic & fatigue, but to me, this feels like a different sensation because I desperately don't want to sleep, and it's sometimes hard to convince myself that it's okay to hit the hay. Does anyone have any tips?
