I no this is a older post but when every one said dizzy do you mean spining or a
of balance feeling ???

I have these usually if im not thinking of anything or just laid still.I get them also in my sleep more of a gasp for air tho scares the hell out of my wife
I come on here just to find out about this! yes I get this and its awful but it goes away in time from past experiance anyway
In Dr Claire Weekes books on nervous illness she talks about a pistol shot or a whip crack or snap type noise just before you fall
to sleep.
Also I have read in other books that you can hear a few words spoken or your name shouted out just before you nood off. When
my depression and anxiety are bad this is a common problem for me but sleeping pills helped because when the crack noise come
it would wake me up and I could not sleep again so if you really get it bad see your Dr for a short course of sleeping pills : )

I get this with tramadol not sure if its normal or not anybody know ? x
I to get dizzy sometimes when nodding off at night, have to have my neck in the right position, not every night though, being tense makes it worse, when it happens it feels like something is fizzing in my neck and i go all light headed (also like someone standing on a hosepipe ) and have to sit up, it then calms down, I have tried to stay laying down but it just gets worse, have mentioned it to GP they say its probably a muscle spasm in my neck, but sometimes it can do it 3 or 4 times a night and all you want to do is sleep, horrible sensation. Also when nodding off or waking up can get a funny pattern like a kalediscope but sections move side to side not all in and out like normal, goes as soon as I open my eyes, maybe it is all to do with balance??
Keep smiling it make's people wonder what your up to !!!
Bless up Aurora. Can't get on Discovery but Wikapedia is so reassuring. It's a new symptom for me, and I thought I was going mad.
Hi, I am new to this site and I just want to say a huge thank you to everyone that has posted about these jerks that I get most nights when I lie down. I have been through loads and loads of different types of doctors to ask about these and every single one of them looked at me as if I was mad... when I read these posts and found that other people had them too and explained what they were I cannot tell you how reassured I am feeling. I've had all sorts of tests for inner ear problems/balance/vertigo/migraine associated vertigo/menieres disease and have been told on various occasions that any of these conditions could be the reason for them, but they weren't convinced as they really didn't know.
This seems like a way someone might describe what's been happening to me. To me, though, it's less of a sound and more of a violent numbing of the brain, ear and eyes. Like fainting in fast forward. It has the shape and length of the white noise in the HBO logo card they play before HBO original programming, if the volume were cranked to 11. Despite that description, I still wouldn't call it a sound -- that was just the best analogy I could come up with.
If this is what's happening to me, it helps a little to know it's name, but I'm still terrified of trying to sleep. I've never experienced this before this month and I want this to end.
