Hearing voices falling asleep

[Bob]

On top of my muscle twitches when drifting off to sleep I have now started to hear voices sometimes upon falling asleep. Like little brief mid sentence chatter or something. I only got like 2 hrs sleep last night. I'm frustrated because the previous few nights had been pretty good and now this is happening. It's like my body finds new ways to torture me.

I know the experience! It’s all part of sleep related anxiety. It’s a package deal of weird symptoms. I actually have “heard” what sounded like radio like talk. My doctor explained these sleep related oddities related to anxiety. I’ve had this once in a while over many years. Obviously it was nothing.

I'm betting it's anxiety related but me personally would get me a bottle of holy water and splash some around my room, bed and house. This would make me feel better not sure how you view these things though...

I've had this too. Sometimes it's a voice calling my name, or a loud noise, or a phone ringing, etc. right as I'm drifting off to sleep. It's another sleep parasomnia related to sleep jerks and twiches we get as we're drifiting off, and completely harmless other than the fact that it causes you more sleep anxiety. And yes, stress and anxiety makes it happen more in my experience.

It might help to shift your mindset: instead of worrying about it, try to accept that you are going to have problems getting to sleep from the get-go. Then it becomes much less anxiety-inducing when it happens. If you don't sleep much, it isn't the end of the world. And instead of lying in bed for hours on end, get up and do something productive. If you can't get to sleep after 30-45 minutes or so: get up and read a book, watch TV, have a snack, etc. Anything but lie in bed and worry more.

Anyway that's what has worked for me in the past, just my 2 cents.

They are called hypnogogic hallucinations, they are more than just common, they are universal, everyone experiences them at times. It's basically an artifact of your brain switching modes from wakefulness to sleep.

if it makes you feel better, you wouldn't be here posting if were "going crazy." it would all seem very real to you.

This actually has made me feel better. I've been getting these alot recently and now I know that anxiety can pretty much do anything to your body but it won't last forever unless you let it
