Do i suffer from proctaligia fugax

My symptoms are rectal spasms right when I fall asleep. When I start dreaming i feel my rectum spasming.
It wont let me sleep at all. It happens every time I feel asleep. Tonight for example I've tried 5 successive times to sleep and all times my rectum started contracting.

Anyone who was diagnosed with this, can you please tell me, are these the symptoms of proctaligia fugax?

What might be the reasons for this and what is the treatment?

I can only sleep with sleeping pills (antidepressants). I dont want to take them for much longer because I dont have a mental issue.
