Anyone else suffer sometimes from a nervous energy/ restlessness through your body during the night that makes you want to move and keeps you awake? I can imagine it feels like RLS only thorughout the whole body. Its horrible..its a strong feeling of agitation that keep syou alert and moving bodyparts. I am wondering where this is coming from. any ideas?
Greetings!
What you described sounds very similar to hyperarousal. Hyperarousal can manifest in many forms like anxiety/stress (from fear of not sleeping well, job, finances, relationship, loss of loved one etc), curiousity (like after doing something to sleep such as taking a pill where your mind starts becoming active, monitoring for results or whether you are falling asleep successfully) or excitement (such being parent for the first time, winning a jackpot lottery, starting a new job, moving to a new place or to a new house etc). All of these can lead to hyperarousal which can delay/mask sleepiness.
