Hey Daizy, how ya doing babe?K.. that falling feeling when you're trying to get to sleep... had it hundreds of times... was actually a sleeping ritual for me for a few years.
I don't know what causes it... the only thing I do know is that when I take 1mg of Clonazepam it helps me get to sleep without that feeling.
So if it lasts long-term, I would seriously inquire about that.
As to what it actually is though... that falling feeling? Two Doctors have told me so far that they think it's a minor panic attack. Some people only get them when they are trying to fall asleep... but that's it... a panic attack. I would have my eyes shut, and it would feel like the room would slowly start to spin as I was drifting off... then I would just start falling really fast and I would wake right up and my heart would be going nuts...
Anyways, that's what I did to solve that problem with me. Write me soon...
Mike
