I would say that it occurs most often when I attempt to take naps. In fact it can be quite severe at this time occurring multiple times in rapid succession. It is quite terrifying. It feels like a circular saw going through my brain, and sound a bit like it too. My heart races, at times I give up, and other times I simply double down and try even harder to fall asleep.chrisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3338238185838918321.post-43599828564806916102011-06-09T16:31:36.315-07:002011-06-09T16:31:36.315-07:00As far as I found it can happen at any time bout m...As far as I found it can happen at any time bout most report the onset at the border between waking and sleeping. Generally this doesn't occur as a once off either and peoples attacks last for days to weeks. If you're concerned though you should see a doctor and try get a referral to a sleep specialist if you think you need it.Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12364150752002154942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3338238185838918321.post-4724554029942828202011-06-09T11:56:51.191-07:002011-06-09T11:56:51.191-07:00Does anybody experience this during the day?

This was followed by a powerful adrenaline rush, and a strong sense of fear. I had to jump of the couch and walk around the room for a while to calm myself down. Could this be something different, something serious?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3338238185838918321.post-75380629947856248652011-05-28T14:30:04.137-07:002011-05-28T14:30:04.137-07:00I have this syndrome and was so excited today to r...I have this syndrome and was so excited today to read a medical book which described and named it, I find it really funny. It happens right at the border between being awake and falling into sleep, and I think could be an attempt by the sub concious to keep me from falling asleep, but I soon do fall asleep and it does not happen twice in one night. It happened quite regularly for some years, but not so often now, I'm a senior person and also have had tinnitus in both ears for about 30 years, and slight asthma causing generally blocked nose and head.My sound is just like an explosion or a mighty crash inside my head.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3338238185838918321.post-83362647001365367042011-05-24T15:54:08.897-07:002011-05-24T15:54:08.897-07:00@Marcie
