Slowing feeling when going off to sleep

[lorraine]

Hi

When I fall asleep in the chair in the afternoon or whenever as I'm drifting off I can feel everything slowing down and it makes me suddenly wake almost a fainting heavy feeling it's the only way I can describe it. This never happens when I fall asleep in bed at night. Does anybody else experience this?

Thanks

Lorraine

Yes, its called exhaustion. You may be trying to fight your dropping off to sleep. Do you sleep ok at night?

I get this at night when im really tired or super anxious its like your body is shuttin down...the life is draining out of you. Really scary x

Yeah I used to get when laying on my back drifting off. Actually it felt like I was drifting or floating. Not scary though.
