Waking up in the middle of the night with bug hallucinations. Why?!
Question: Waking up in the middle of the night with bug hallucinations!. Why!?
It happens every so often and, as it seems, randomly!. Usually occurs a few hours after I've fallen asleep!. Sometimes I'll see several large bugs on the floor and I'd swear up and down that they're really there until a few minutes pass and I either wake up, or "lose them"!. Other times, it's a really gigantic centipede or spider on my wall or pillow!.

sleeping does more to your brain and body than merely knock you out and run a complimentary movie in your head!. It also controls your muscles, your metabolic levels, your brain chemistry, and your gas levels!. Nightly panic attacks are one way your body has of waking you up, when you have too much CO2 on board, and not enough oxygen!. Works, too, doesn't it!. It doesn't usually cause hallucinations, though, if I had to guess, I'd say it would cause you to confuse reality with a dream you're having!. I used to dream about snakes!. A lot!. If I were hypoxic, and having a panic attack in my sleep, I might translate that feeling of fear that it induces into a dream of snakes!. See where this is going!? Sometimes the dreams just loop, and you can't TELL whether you're awake or asleep, until you finally wake for real!.
I'd have a sleep study done, something is not working normally in your cycle!. It may indicate a problem, like sleep apnea, or it may indicate a larger issue with your brain!. But I wouldn't let something like that go untreated!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Possibly as you awake suddenly as your brain waves go into a deep state during sleep your mind is still kind of foggy and in a slighty dreamy state, causing you to see things or mistake shadows or other objects as bugs!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
