I’ve had this fear before when I was 16 but it’s recently resurfaced. Two nights ago, I laid down to go to sleep but after sleeping for a few minutes, I got a sudden rush of panic and opened my eyes. I couldn’t sleep for hours after that and didn’t end up going to sleep until 4:30 and I woke up at 10. Last night around 1, I felt sleep deprived and I closed my eyes to go to sleep and the same thing happened. My mind was racing and I was tossing and turning for about 15 minutes and then I entered a state of what felt like light sleep and I woke up around 6. Now I can’t go back to sleep. For the past 2 years I’ve been taking a melatonin before bedtime but last night I took a diphenhydramine. The first night I took diphenhydramine and melatonin.
