Anyone else experience this?
Every night, right before I go to sleep I feel this swaying sensation, like when you are swinging on a swing. This goes on for about 10 minutes, it's not unpleasant it's actually soothing. Does anyone else experience this and if so what the heck is it?
(I've been doing this my whole life)
Sorry I meant to add that it goes on for 10 minutes and then I fall asleep.
Kitten, you may be on to something because my mom once told me that she used to rock me to sleep every night when I was a baby up until I was 2. The only thing is, it's involuntary, I don't control it.

Have you got a problem with your inner ear, this can some times effect your sense of balance.

This must happen because you do something regualrliy. When I go down to the beach and swim, the waves crashing against my body. When you try sleep that night you get the same sensation. Maybe you do swing on a swing, maybe it is the train shaking on your way home, but it is most likely a physical event that occurs during your day. Maybe its a memory from your early childhood, like a key that allows you to fall asleep.

Wow, that's really kinda neat. If it doesn't bother you and actually makes you feel good and calm and trusting enough that you go to sleep....awesome!
Sometimes right before I go to sleep I start dreaming before I'm all the way asleep and I can feel myself flying and see the tops of the trees and the ground and stuff below. I get that feeling that you get when you go up and down in a ferris wheel and then it gets going like on a roller coaster. The way your tummy and guts feel when your body goes up and down.
It puts me to sleep and sometimes I fall asleep before I land...but not often.
I would try to connect it something. Like maybe being rocked by a loved one? Or being in a boat or maybe a bassinet? Try to train yourself to figure out what and why while you are drifting off... Good luck and enjoy.

No, but may be you should ask a Dr. it could be some type of effect from a disorder called sleep apnea, my daughter has it and some times I have to move her, or wake her in order for her to remember to breath consistently. Some of the things we've been told about it seems like things like you are experiencing could relate to it.

While you are relaxing you are entering a trance and that's what that is. It happens to me too. one night I actually recognized it and I went along with it. I cleared up a lot of problems that I had. It's almost like involuntary meditation.Use it to your advantage. It may help you.
