Freaking out when awoken?
152954
Happens when you come out of a deep sleep unexpectedly and too suddenly. It's easily cured by going to sleep earlier and telling people to respect your needs. Teens need the most sleep and it can range from 6 hours -11 hours, depedning on biological needs.

I get paranoid when I go to sleep...  What if that thing tips over and crushes me?!? =O

I'm epileptic and have had the same reaction right after I have a grand mal.Sometimes I don't regain consciousness for a few minutes other times when I wake up I'm lucid. Sometimes when I've had a seizure here at home I wake up in my bed - don't know how I got there. I've been told by my son that I just get up after the seizure and go to bed. Sometimes I wake up with a headache and I'm confused - after a while it goes away - other times I can't remember what day and/or time it is. It's scary, but what your saying sounds about the same as what happens to me. There are times when I have trouble keeping my balance when I first stand up and try to walk after a grand mal. It's probably because of all the electrical activity that's going on in the brain during a seizure and it disorients me. Have you spoken with your neurologist about this? If you wish you may e-mail me. Dilantin and Phenobarbitol didn't work for me or Depakote. I'm on Keppra and Lamictal right now.

I have trouble getting up, too. I have three alarm clocks that I have to get up out of bed to turn off. One of them has "soothing nature sounds," and I set it to the one that sounds like a trickling brook... the water sounds makes me jump up and scurry to the bathroom.

I have, it scared the s*** out of me!  I woke up from a nap and could hear my husband and kids downstairs and couldn't move my body.  My brain was fully alert and I tried to holler to my husband because I was scared to death and I couldn't even do that.  I eventually convinced myself that I was still sleeping and having a bad dream...I must have drifted off because when I woke up again I was fine.  That is bizzare enough in itself.

A couple of years ago I went through a period which lasted around 3 months where, every night just after falling asleep, I would feel unable to breathe, I could feel my heart beating faster and faster and I would be trying to scream to wake myself up but I couldn't move or make a sound. I would consciously know that I was asleep and I knew that I needed to wake up but there was nothing I could do. In the worst instances, about 5 times, I was sure I was going to die. Then after what seemed like a long time I would manage to yell and my husband would wake me up, in reality I'm sure it was probably only a couple of minutes. In the end I would try to keep myself awake as long as possible because I was too scared to sleep. I can't exactly recall when or why it stopped happening so regularly, it still happens to me very occasionally, maybe once or twice a year. The best way I can describe it is like having a panic attack in my sleep. I've never technically had it diagnosed at sleep paralysis but after reading up a lot about it on the internet since it started happening I'm pretty sure that this is my problem. I'm not sure if this is what you were after but I hope it helps.

I agree 100% with you on this one. As a matter of fact, just the other night, the electricity went off. I woke up sweating because my A/C went off, went to get the phone in total darkness and remembered that IT NEEDS ELECTRICITY TO WORK, so I couldn't call the electric people, I would just have to wait it out. Looked around for a candle, which I don't buy for necessity and more just looks and the darn thing was burned down because I had used it the other day to make the house smell good...lol!\n\nStarted worrying about an hour later because I had to wake up from work and the alarm was not on (no electricity, remember) so I had to stay awake until it came back on, in the heat, with NO light and no phone!\n\nFor 2 hours I was lost and I didn't like it. But do you think I will be prepared for it next time, probably not :)\n\nGood Question!

Yes.  Not frequently, though.  I've woken my partner up before.  Don't worry about it... no need to see a doc unless you hate it.

I didn't used to be like that, but lately I have been having a similar experience.  I think, for me at least, its because my life is going through a lot of changes, and I'm experiencing a lot of stress due to that.  I think its my mind's way of playing out my fears, since they are constantly on my mind.  I would suggest you try a cup of chamomille tea before you go to bed; it works wonders for me.

Not sure how you mean, but my 2 year old wakes up in the morning trembling. I wonder if  it has anything to do with her blood sugar and if he is doing the same.
