sometimes when i dose of on the sofa i get these like zaps where i wake and cant breath its almost like a full body twitch with a missed breath. has anyone else experienced this?

Yes. I think it is the start of the sleep cycle... sometimes I jump right up. I think your body just misses the part where it keeps you asleep.

I had this... I think there's a few of t posts about this

It was when my anxiety was at one I it's highest peaks and i didn't realise, I used to put off going to sleep when I had this, it happened a few times, even when I was awake and just sitting there
