A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hypnogogic panic: Hypnagogic (ie falling asleep) panic attacks occur, often part of a myriad of symptoms in this transitional state between wakefulness and sleep (hypnagogic hallucinations being the most frequent). There are medications as well as cognitive behavioral treatments as treatment; for some patients, just having knowledge of these are sufficient as therapy. See your doctor if bothersome.
