Yes, I have hypnagogic hallucinations and they keep causing me to awaken, just as I'm falling asleep. I suspect they might be a side effect of medication.
I'm doing a sleep study next month. __________________ |

Yeah medications can do that too. And good that you are getting a sleep test.

I wish I knew which med it might be. I can't recall exactly when the hypnagogic hallucinations began, but it's been going on since spring and really bothers me.

Yeah it can be very bothersome. Even after stopping the meds, they will probably still occur since it happens to everyone, but not as frequent or as vivid. Everyone experiences it at some point, it’s just that a lot will deny it due to a fear of being labled mentally ill or something even though it has nothing to do with mental illness.

So true. Interestingly, though, in my sleep study literature I read that hypno. hallucinations can indicate a sleep disorder. So there are probably a lot of people who could be helped, but are afraid to talk about the hallucinations they experience. __________________ |

Exactly. Having one every so often may just simply be a freak occurrence and can happen to anyone. But having them more often can definitely indicate a sleep disorder. Totally agree with you, people are afraid to talk about it because it may make them sound Schizophrenic even though that is a totally separate disorder and has nothing to do with sleep.
