Shaking Myself to Wake Up. Posted: 08-30-05 10:17am
Hello
i have just joined this site as in the
last year I have had a very weird
experience when just falling to sleep.
Just as I drop off I can feel my head
shaking and I try to wake up but I can't I
can not move but I can make a
noise,sometimes I can feel my head to
shake just before I drop off and I stop
myslef from falling asleep, last night I
made a noise to try to attract the
attention of my wife and she heard me and
began to talk to me and shake me as she
could see my head was trembling. I could
feel and hear her trying to wake me but I
couldnt wake up, after about 30 seconds I
came round.
This was the first time my wife had seen
it I had only experienced it myself before
and wasnt to sure if it was a dream.
I have just started doing shifts in my
current job working nights one week and
days the next so thinking this has caused
it, I beleive it is some kind of sleep
paralysis.
Has anyone else had this expereience and
what do you think caused it ??
Thanks

I used to experience something like that
when I was just falling asleep also. I
recall it was like my head was more asleep
than the rest of me, almost like something
was cutting off the blood flow to my
head--like severely asleep. Kinda like
when an arm or leg goes to sleep, but it
was my head. Really strange, never did
find out what is was, hasnt happened in a
few years.
I thought it had something to do with my
neck or back--and th nerves involved with
it. I dont know though
