feeling of emptiness before sleep

Posted by adonis on February 08, 2005 at 08:17:12:

Hi all, I really have a weird problem for which I could not find any explanation.
I experience an extreme feeling of emptiness as if I am floating in a very dark space, just few minutes after I close my eyes for sleep. My body gets numb and I immediately open my eyes since I become very scared of what is happening to me. This goes like that for two hours, sometimes all the night until I fall asleep. After than, I sleep well. This has started 6 months ago in a sporadic way but now it happens every night.

During the day time I also experience derealization(I mean things look as if I am in a dream) and deconcantrated. People say it maight be psychological but things I feel are so pyhsical that it does not look plausable to me. any help ?
thanks
