Sleep disorder - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

emil_vits02 · 02-08-2008, 01:55 PM

Hello everyone,
Right before I fall asleep, a minor nasal passage obstruction triggers the "lack of air" anxiety (of not surfacing in time). Whenever it starts happening--if I were to rise from bed and start walking (and deliberately thinking of something else)...the psychological pressure slowly dissipates within a minute, two, or three...without re-occurrence when deliberately thinking of something else (immediately returning to bed to fall asleep).
I've been having this "sleep disorder" for the past 1 1/2 years...it happens about once or twice per month. When it happens it's very scary! Can anyone tell me the name of my "sleep disorder"? What can I do to get rid of this sleep disorder?
Thank you in advance!

You could have sleep apena. Try looking it up to see if that sounds like it. I know people that have it, so it sounded like it.

But remember that I am not a doctor. Just thought you might want to look it up.

Hi,
According to your given details definitely I can say it’s indicating stress. I found yoga 1 year ago when I was suffering the same problem. I used yoga and I got healthy sleep. Dahn Yoga does work – and without the side effects. I recommend it to anyone who has trouble sleeping. Hope this help you.
