Will I die in my sleep from unable to waking up...what to do?

Question:

I am a very heavy sleeper, I need a full 8-10 hr of sleep every night and I usually do get it. But the thing is that there are times whenI can't wake up as easily as other people do. Times like when I was being screamed to, rocked and pushed and I could still not wake, but I was aware of it all! I even dreamt of peeing when I needed to go but couldn't wake up. And sometimes when the blanket was over my mouth and I was feeling suffucating and wanting badly to get up but couldn't. And when I finally do wake up I was all sweaty from the struggling. I feel like those people who can still hear and feel when they were on the operating table under anesthetics. This scares me a lot, I fear I might one day die in my sleep from suffucating or burn to death because I wouldn't get up. I do have low blood pressure problem, but my doc says it's not serious enogh to take meds for, other than this, I am pretty healthy and at my ideal weight. Anyone knows anything,please help..

Answers:
This sounds very serious, but I don't believe it is deadly in itself. You should definately seek professional help, they have medication and therapy for everything these days. This could be dangerous because if you were in a situation that would require you to wake up like your house igniting or something.

don't drink alcoholic beverages before you sleep...ask help from some specialists.

YOU HAVE TO SLEEP SOME TIME.. IM SURE THE REAPER IS WAITING FOR YOU.. IF YOU FEAR SLEEP THIS MUCH

ive heard of deep sleepers i myself am one sometimes however i dont think of heard it to this extent. Um you might try webmd.com however id go to a diff. doc. to get a 2nd opinion. Maybe try to change your sleep habits or soemthing.

If your doctor is not concerned, you should probably stop worrying so much. If you live alone, make sure your neighbours know to alert the fire people that if there is ever a fire that you will need to be carried out.

Well, I had one particular time when I was in my late teens that I got the feeling of not waking up when I wanted to. I was pretty suicidal. So when I had that feeling and woke up suddenly, I tell myself to value life and I am not done with life just yet. Another thing is you might want to see a church worker on this. You seems to be oppressed by something. I really know how you feel cos I get that a lot, like suddenly plunging into a deep bottomless pit, immobilised body, weird stuffs.

Take care there.
