I can't sleep because of it!

I told myself that I would just let myself fall into this void, but I haven't been able to... the fear that I'll completely dissolve and lose my ground is too overwhelming.

Does anybody know what I'm talking about? If so, how did you deal with it?

It's really starting to affect my daily life in a disruptive way because of the sleep deprivation.

Someone told me ages ago it happens when your heart falls out of the right rhythm as you fall into sleep. The big jerk/pulse is apparently the adrenaline your brain sends to restart your heart beating properly.

I usually get it when I got to sleep too fast, when I'm too tired.
