I see, thanks for the explainer. Guessing based on the comments it must be somewhat common for this sensation to happen to people at least once in their life. The only time I had an odd sensation in bed is when I actually fell out of my bed, it was very disorienting but the difference is I actually fell out of my bed.

Two to three times a year for me. It's always super jarring. The jump in heart rate suddenly feels really unsettling.

It was really annoying at one point last year, it was like my brain was playing a joke on me.

It startled me like three times in one night. When it happened a fourth time, it was just annoying.
