Strange sleep experiences

[luvestodizz]

I was watching TV at around 9pm tonight in my comfy chair and I fell asleep. A half hour later Dh and the kids came home and they rang the bell. I jumped up heart pounding, I was shaky as I opened the front door. The same thing happens if I fall alseep in the car. I nod off but then wake up startled with my heart pounding. I hate when it happens- is it a normal thing? Another strange thing is once in a while I wake up and feel like something is in my mouth. Again I have a racing heart like Im scared and a few times I spit. Gross I know

Only once I talked in my sleep. I must have been half awake because I remember it was an effort to get the word out- whatever it was I said. Anyway I work until 2 am and it is soo slow right now and I am soo tired so excuse the strange topics.. LOL

I once elbowed my DH in the eye while I was sleeping I don't remember my dream .

I am frequently exhausted when I wake up. I took a sleep study test and they found that I don't have sleep apnea, but I'm apparently "running marathons" in my sleep. My heart will race for up to 5mins for no apparent reason

I think what you are experiencing is fairly normal. I know with me it is worse when I am overly tired. Try to get caught up on your sleep, take a good multi-vitamin and then see how you do.

You're not the only one, but I don't know what causes it.

The worst part of waking up, is having some one talk to me or the radio playing. I'll start having these strange conversations in my head, then out loud.
Like I could be having a dream about Kari and me talking. Well she tries to wake me up in the morning, asking for something (because some how I was the knower of all things). Instead of waking up and answering her question, I start answering the questions in my dream out loud to her. It usually took her a few minutes to get me out of it. And when she did, she's like "what are you talking about", and I'd tell her "I was just answering you".

That happens to me when I'm woken up suddenly. Racing heart and the shakes. Oh, and I get nauseas. So it's my normal anyway!
