I keep waking up out of a sound sleep, sometimes in the middle of a dream, bc I hear a kid yelling, "Mom!" in that imperative sort of 'this is important!' tone they get when they need you, but it's not panic, it's more like they just need you.
But it's not either of my kids' voice, I don't recognize this kid's voice at all. I lie awake listening, and don't hear a sound - but as soon as I fall back asleep again, "MO-OM!" What the heck!?!? I take prazosin for nightmares, and it works really well - but this is like an actual sound that wakes me up! I've never hallucinated - can you even hallucinate in your sleep!?!? |

Have you ever had a sleep study done before? Sometimes, sleep apnea has been linked to nightmares and sudden-wakefulness. Or, you could have that sleep hallucination that happens when you're between sleep stages. That's what it sounds like to me but I'm not a sleep doctor. I've had those types of auditory sleep hallucinations. My sleep doctor confirmed this happens between sleep stages, when our conscious mind and subconscious mind cross paths when they aren't supposed to, in simple non-scientific terms. Sometimes, I'll wake up hearing someone from my dream talking to me, or I'll wake up in the middle of a conversation and I'm talking. It's either a sleep hallucination for me, or my mild sleep apnea gets triggered when I stop breathing temporarily and my body wakes me up.

Medications can cause this. You may be calling out to yourself. Take care of yourself.

Prazosin works very well at stopping nightmares. Our brain is more complex than anybody will ever understand. Who knows what is is. Normally though if we do dream about other in our sleep it is about other aspects of our own selves. Maybe your mind is trying to alert you to that fact that something is off and that is needs taking care of. Maybe a part of you is scared and calling out for help. Something to ponder.
I often wake myself up by taking loudly. |

Auditory and visual sleep hallucinations happen to everyone, whether or not you're on medications or use a CPAP machine.
