Question

My body temp is higher than normal at night during sleep, one time in the 100s. I'm a healthy 30 y.O., no smoking or drinking and my BP is fine. Why?

Answer 1

High blood pressure: The doctors white coat may have caused your increase in blood pressure. However, have your doctor check your urine, your eye grounds and get an ultra sound of your kidneys to rule out possible cause. If you are taking medications or otc products inform your doctor.

Answer 2

Probably: I am sure this has happened to more than one person, it can be very traumatic specially if this person was apparently healthy and his/her death was unexpected.

Answer 3

A falling sensation: As you fall asleep is not uncommon.

Answer 4

Yes: Some people feel this and it is quite normal. Sometimes these are associated with brief muscle twitches called hypnic jerks.

Answer 5

Not to worry: Benign: Visual sleep starts were first described in the german literature as jolts or bolts of terror (schreckblitzen) or waking bolts or jolts (weckblitzen)the only danger is that you could develop a fear of sleep because of them or an anxiety disorder. They are triggered by stress, caffeine, exercise before bed. www.capitalregionspecialsurgery.com/sleep-wake/sleep.../sleep-starts/‎.

Answer 6

Yes this is normal: You are referring to what is common known as a "sleep twitch." these are absolutely normal although they may be aggravated by anxiety, stress or excess caffeine intake. Sleep twitches usually decrease in frequency as we age. If they are of concern, ensuring proper sleep hygiene may decrease the number of twitches you experience.

Answer 7

See below: If you are referring to hypnic jerks that are involuntary muscle twitches that occur at the transition from wake to sleep, having it multiple times per night may point to fragmentation of sleep by an underlying medical disorder, including sleep apnea, esp. If daytime sleepiness, periodic cessation of breathing, ; snoring occur. Consult w/ a sleep medicine specialist to help discern the cause of it.
