I Panic to remain awake in the half conscious state when I start falling into sleep

By TRIP Sunday, November 11, 2007
Why at the point my body takes over to move me into sleep I sometimes fight to stay awake as i sense loosing control of my muscles as they're twitching as I take breaths and fight to keep consciousness all when Im in a half conscious state just before I go into sleep mode. Its like I feel I was going to die if I sleep. Whats this about? Its a rescent thing.

Thanks so much for your post.  It sounds like this is a really frightening experience.

Just to note, I am a contributor for the online community here.  I am not however a health professional or medically trained, so I cannot answer your questions in that regard.   I can however try to direct you to resources on our site that could help or lead you in the right direction.

 

I think the first thing we can do is have you look at our "Check a Symptom" section of our site (the link is just to the left under "Find")  I will also forward this on to one of our experts to see if they can address you specific issue.

 

Thanks so much - will be in touch soon.

 

All the Best, SMM
