I have always had these times at least once a week where I think I am waking up, literally get out of bed and go on with my day only to realize I am still asleep and wake up again. This usually goes on about 5 or 6 times all the while I am fighting my hardest to shake myself awake. These occurances are happening more often and I am wondering if there is a name for this and a way to stop it because it causes me to have panic attacks.
