Q: Shock feeling when almost asleep
asked by: thefranchise on February 11th, 2009

If I am trying to take a nap, or while I'm lying down before actually falling asleep, once in a while I will hear this quick buzzing in my ears, see this rush of white light zoom into view (with eyes closed (like in a dream state) ) and then feel an electrical impulse or shock and it brings me back to total consciousness. [All of these things occur simultaneously and within one second]. With my eyes open now I feel perfectly fine, although it is very startling I am fully aware of what had just occurred. Its not like when someone is dreaming and falling within a dream and just before they hit something they'll get a jolt, and wake. I haven't yet fallen asleep. After this occurs like I said I feel fine, my breathing is normal, my heart rate is normal but I'm just so perplexed as to what causes this. Help?

shock feeling in my eyes/head
I have this too and am so annoyed because it is now occurring even while I'm awake. I've had it before once when i had the flu and I just thought it was due to being tired. I am not getting a full nights sleep becuause as you said it wakes me up just as I'm falling asleep. I have it today at work and I'm very tired but sudden movements and i get that annoying shock feeling. so strange. !

Do you feel paralized while in this state? Do you have trouble speaking also?
