Hi Hun

You have just had a shock, i guess kind of a panic attack and it is very normal to just want to fall asleep and drift off after a scare....you just need to take a few deep breaths, get a cold glass of water, and lay back and you should fall asleep, just remember that this is very normal after a scare or panic attack....and if you need more help then just pop back on here :) Good luck x

Hey Cass, I'm having a bad night too, following a bad day. Force yourself up and get a cup of tea, put the TV or radio on for background noise. PM me if you want to chat.

You may not realize it but it can take a while for you to fully wake up.
If you awoken all of a sudden or from a dream it's normal for it to be hard not to fall asleep.
I've often fallen back into a nightmare after I lost the battle to stay awake.
If you're very stressed and tired, belive me it can trigger all sorts of sleep problems!
I once woke up scared and confused, wandered around my house feeling faint only to fall back to sleep on the couch!
