Brain Zap

Since the past 10 years Ive been getting these zaps in my head but ONLY at the very second that Iam about to fall a sleep then...It just wakes me up.
at the same time when I do fall a sleep after a while I get these weird dreams
that Iam actualy awake and the only thing I can do is move my feet to wake up it doesn't always work...So I always just lay there to wake my self up sometime it feels like Iam stuck there for hours trying to open my eyes and then try to move my legs or arms when I do open my eyes after a lot of tries evrything is all weird but I can still see my room I would say if this happen once or twice ok... but this almost all the time and always comes after those brain zaps I told a doctor about it 10 years ago he said I was dreaming but this has been hapening for to long I need answers..just the other day I had those brain zaps again where if I actualy closed my eyes tight it would hapen this was in the midle of the night now for doing it to many times to see what it was actualy doing becuase I needed to know while I was awake to explain this to a Doctor >>MY BRAIN is almost out of order lol its not reacting normaly to things I feel tired and my brain feels like it got hit by a truck
for the past 3 days Iam at work where it takes a lot brain power ...but nothing wants to input in my brain its like Iam confused but I know I should'nt be....
whats going on??????ANYBODY???

ROB

Re: Brain Zap

Hey Rob,
You may want to jump on the sleep disorders board. I have narcolepsy and sometimes what you describe is a symptom called sleep paralysis. It happens when you're going to sleep or waking up. It can be scary as hell to some people. Check out the sleep disorders board and let me know what you think.

Also, at least w/ narcolepsy, it's a sleep phase disorder so you hit the sleep phases in different orders, which leaves you absolutely exhausted, and the more tired you are the less your brain functions...or as I like to refer to it as being "stuck on stupid"....makes life hard, yet entertaining at times!

I'll pop back in and check on ya, but the kids are going to drive me nuts if I don't tend to them real quick.

Toodles..................Angel
