Does anyone else get this? *Sleep related*

You could very well have sleep apnea. Its when your body actually stoips breathing while you're alseep. The symptoms you're describing is your body's reaction to a lack of oxygen. Have you mentioned this to anyone else? The test for it is easy and could save your life. Many people have died from sleep apnea.

Do you snore by any chance? Thats one "symptom" of sleep apnea.

Omg thats so scary. I didnt even know that exsisted, I get so scared because I cant breathe and its like when you pass out the dots appear in my eyes if that makes any sense? Its such a scary thing to experience because it like such a last minute response and I do feel so light headed its unreal. It does paralize my body and I struggle to move any part even moving my toe or finger is such a difficult thing to do. Its physcially not possible for me to do it until the last minute when I think the adenaline kicks in. God I feel like crying!

Actually, that is perfectly normal. I read about this recently. Part of the sleep cycle is an effective "paralyzation" of the body, it's uncommon, but not unheard of, to be slightly conscious during this. As scary as it is, it isn't anything to worry about.

Ive just checked with my boyfriend, apparently I "baby snore" but its hardly snoring at all.

I think I will get it checked out just incase, I been feeling very down lately so I want to see my doctor anyway so I think I might mention this to him.

I do that too, i just lay there and drift off to sleep. I sometimes get like that then i just fall asleep.
