Jerking awake before falling asleep

Just recently (within the last month) I have been having trouble falling asleep easily. I will be just about to fall asleep, and suddenly I notice my eyes are slightly open, my breathing has seemed to seize and I can't seem to move, or at least I think I can't, so I jerk my entire body to wake up. It's uncomfortable and after my heart is racing and this will usually happen a few times before I can fall asleep. This got to its worst last night; every time I would close my eyes I would experience it and falling asleep was extremely difficult. I've researched this online briefly and found similar problems but nothing quite like my problem. Does anyone have any idea why this is happening? And does anyone know how I can get this to stop? Thank you

Well just a quick thought if you know this is going to happen, and it seems like your in a state of panic. Try relaxing your body expecting this to happen and try to not react

to that.

It does sound easier said then done, but try to relax and you will be able to over come

your problem
