Did anything bad happen to you as a child, adult ect. I know I do he same thing!! I wake up in like the world is blowing up!!panic fighting know s dont touch me when I'm asleepas was diagnosed with post traumtic stress syndrome, you dont have to have nightmares! Its like your brain reacts when you fall asleep and wake up your brain overreacts and thinks ok, whats going on, and it s ready to fight or flight, are you always on guard, waiting for something to happen and be ready? I know when I found out it was a big relief, knowing I wasnt going nuts and not sleeping was not acceptable!! Talk to your doctor get diagnosed with what ever it is and get treatment!!
