See if y'all can figure this out..... Cuz I'm stumped.
So it was about 3am (maybe 2:30) and I was awake, but getting sleepy, and then I must have fallen asleep very briefly and then I was jolted awake, and I felt like my eyes were shaking and the rest of my body was twitching (internally, like the muscles, but i wasnt shaking if that makes any sense) and I was blinded by bright bluish white strobe-lights. Then I grabbed DH to kind of ground myself and at that point I was fully awake, but I couldn't see anything at all, except bright yellow lights swirling (think very active aurora borealis) with a bright blue (almost turquoise) burst in the center that would flash bright and then fade, and it kept happening. This all happened for maybe 3 minutes.
Any idea what that could have been? Cuz.... I kinda don't wanna go to sleep tonight lol
**UPDATE**
I was hoping not to have to update, but said I would if it happened again.
It happened again last night!! This time around 4:00 i would say... Less time, and the lights were just white, but same strobe light type thing. And then shortly thereafter, my body went straight and rigid, and I was trying to say "help" to my husband but all I could do was just make unintelligible noise. I felt like I couldn't breathe, it was so weird.
I've looked into it being like a false awakening, nocturnal epilepsy, batshit crazy lol I've tried every explanation.
Anyone exp this before? Or heard of it happening?

Nope, I mean I have occasional headaches but nothing major.
My eyes are ok, I have to wear glasses, but it's not a major correction.
I'll have to look that up, thanks!

Quoting Anonymous:Do you suffer from migraines? Any problems with your eyes when you are awake? Look up symptoms of detached retina or retina injuries.

I haven't seen that... Sounds scary lol. I will ask a doc if it continues, but this is the first and hopefully last time it happened
Quoting Dqnana:Whoa! If it happens again, I would definitely see your physician. Sounds like what happened to John Travolta in "Phenomenon"!! That would have definitely have freaked me out. Be well.
