I have a new suggestion based on your clarification.... maybe you can talk with your medical doctor who over sees your sleep disorder. they can help you with some meds and help you get on a good sleep routine where you dont have this problem any more... example my friend with sleep apnea was given a c- pap machine and some medication that together they have solved this problem of feeling sleepy and getting the "tingles" because they are now getting the right amount of sleep and oxygen that they need.
No, thats how dissociation is for me personally. I actually cant fall asleep on my own thats why I know it isnt me getting ready to fall asleep. I go for a sleep study on the 4th of march though. So we can address my problems with not being able to fall asleep on my own. For me though they are two different issues. This also has only ever happened to me in therapy and I sit still alot. I work at the desk in my group home and never felt this feeling. Not even when I am laying down to go to sleep.
