I'm a disabled veteran from the Iraq War and a recovering addict. Recently, I'm guessing about 4-6 months ago I started having this happen. Your description on how it feels and what you do to "kickstart" your heart is exactly how it feels. My psychiatrist claims it's insomnia due to a lot of grief. They are going to try and reset my sleep with an older medication in hopes I can get this under control. I am so glad I'm not the only one. I've felt very alone with this and like I'm not explaining it correctly. I hope you continue to get better and if you do get better, it never comes back.

I've had sleep anxiety for as long as I can remember. A few times this year I've experienced myself becoming hyper aware of falling asleep. Last night it was the worst it's ever been. I couldn't sleep at all. My eyes would open as soon as I started to drift off and my heart would start race. I felt so uncomfortable and nervous. So vulnerable and scared. This went on for hours and hours and hours.. Like you, I felt like I had to arouse from death. The experience was so horrifying that I've spent all day doing research on what on Earth was going on with me. I finally found your video and now I know I'm not alone and that there is help out there! Thank you so much for sharing this.

Me too, I'm having such a hard time, I have been dealing with this for 15 years ! It started out of the blue when I was 19-years-old after a surgery, I had what they said was a panic attack. It was the most terrifying thing in the world, I remeber saying to myself "if I just sleep everything will be better" however, I was feeling so horrible physically and it just popped into my head "you might die in your sleep" and I have been terrified every since, my life completely runied. I'm now having a really bad bout of fear, I can't get to sleep until 5-6 a.m. and wake up at 11am feeling unrested, anxious, and sweating. I just want to love sleep again and be able to sleep with no problem like years before. I need some help, however, I'm a poor single mother and help only seems to be available to the wealthy. I cry all day because I cant be a mother to my child, I'm anxious and severly tried all day, my daughter is 12-years-old and she has always known me to be this way, tried and unable to cope and live a normal life. If you found some why to help yourself, please let me know. Maybe it will help me as well.

its very reassuring Im not alone with this. The thought of sleep always terrified me for the lack of control you have, my mind refuses to let go of conciousness. to the point i've experienced sleep paralysis on a regular basis. powerful fears start arising. what helped for me was easing my mind with the thought that i didnt have to sleep, but i just haf to get easy with the moments before sleep when you feel concioussness dimming and just trying to explore that state in a peaceful way, allowing yourself to wake if your minds start rebelling. Kind of like enjoying the view on top of a cliff instead of jumping off. eventually your body will do the rest before you have the chance to be scared.

I came across this exact anxiety.Had to speak with a psychiatrist which formulated Clonazepam in droplets. The first night it eliminated my sleep anxiety completely "fear of dying" and allowed me to sleep with no fear ...after a couple of weeks I was able to get off the medication and rewired my brain to feeling safe again at bedtime..but I have to agree that I went sleepless 9 days because of this anxiety..felt like I was having a heart attack everytime it triggered at bed time..worst feeling ever..but sometimes certain medication can help for these situations

It’s all in your brain, your thought makes you anxious, every single though you have about the fear of death when u go to sleep makes your anxiety increase. Thoughts of Death in sleep=increased anxiety. Which leads up to you staying up all night feeling scared, alone, for me, My anxiety increases so bad when everyone else is asleep. And I’m the only one awake.

[@alexandersutton8669]

Ever since a negative experience with weed, I've been struggling with an issue that I never had before. Initially, I used small amounts of weed to help me relax at night, but one night I accidentally took too much, and when it kicked in, I thought it was going to be my last night. I was advised to go to bed if I had a bad experience, but the anxiety I felt was overpowering. The fear of dying prevented me from sleeping, and this feeling persisted every night afterward, causing me to wake up with a racing heart in the morning. Sometimes, the racing heart would occur before bed, during sleep, and in the mornings, and it was so severe that my body would shake from the stress. To address this anxiety, I turned to an ebook called DARE, which provided significant help in managing my symptoms. Additionally, I discovered that I was deficient in magnesium, a common deficiency among many people. I started taking a magnesium supplement containing various types of magnesium, initially at 500mg daily. It took some time to adjust, but it proved to be beneficial. However, recently, the fear of death at night has resurfaced, without the racing heart. To tackle this, I plan on increasing my magnesium intake to 500mg again before bedtime. I feel more secure sleeping during the day or with the lights on when this feeling arises, but I typically need to be extremely tired to fall asleep. Despite feeling exhausted before bed, as soon as I lie down, worry sets in. My nose starts to feel congested, and my chest tightens, leading me to panic, fearing I can't breathe. Swallowing becomes difficult, further exacerbating my anxiety. Once I start drifting off to sleep, I experience a queasy stomach and a nervous sensation similar to the feeling of free-falling, causing me to become alert once again. It usually takes going through this cycle a few times before I can finally fall asleep. At one point, my condition was so severe that when I woke up with heavy eyes and slightly blurry vision, I would panic, thinking my body was shutting down. I would often leap out of bed and rush to the bathroom, splashing cold water on my face to reassure myself that I wasn't going to die. It's quite absurd when I think about it now. However, one valuable lesson I learned from that night of taking too much weed is the incredible power of the mind. I hope you're able to find peace of mind. It's currently 3 am for me, and I'll attempt to do the same.

[@KRAZEEIZATION]

Anxiety is a terrible thing. The trouble is once we get on the loop it creates more fear. People say it goes back to childhood. Go back and examine the things you were afraid of or caused distress. The sensations you may feel is your anxious response to the feelings and it’s a combination of different things the brain stores to cope with it. So the brain needs an answer and if that answer is sensations then that’s the anxiety cycle. I’ve been suffering like this on and off since late 2013 and I’ve experienced all kinds of feelings and symptoms. Get well!

Now I'm on the pill and in my 30s, so this is a constant thought at night. But I'm not sure my anxiety doesn't come from earlier life experiences. I definitely believe the coronavirus situation has awakened these fears of death again. It's terrible. I will try breathing and creating those scenarios you mentioned (my imagination is also extremely vivid, which I find to be a curse), hopefully that can help me relax, since I really don't want to start taking anxiety medication.
