I have a few things I'd like to determine being normal or not regarding sleep. I'm pretty sure I have Delayed Sleep Phase Disorder, but I doubt these are related to that.
About two years ago I started hearing voices when I was falling asleep. I was diagnosed with Schizoaffective Disorder, but I think the psychiatrist got it wrong. I even told her that I heard them virtually only at night when laying in bed, near sleep, and sometimes shortly after waking up in the morning but still laying in bed. I haven't heard them since about April of this year though.
Also, sometimes while falling asleep I'll lose control of my thoughts and start thinking about ridiculous things that don't make sense, and sometimes it can take a minute or so before I realize it and stop.
Earlier this year and much of last year I would wake up in the middle of the night not being able to move, occasionally accompanied by hallucinations. One time this past February I felt, saw, and heard two large rats crawling over me, and one time saw and felt a disembodied hand crawl up my torso.
Now, I know all of these things can happen in people with sleep problems (and even those that don't), but I would just like to know if the concurrence and frequency of these are indicative of any kind of disorder, or if they just change from person to person.
Thanks!
