Do I keep getting panic attacks after I fall asleep? Irregular in frequency but always at the same time, around 12.30am!! Very odd, nothing physically wrong with me, have had checks.... Is it normal for them to happen at the same time? I feel I am managing them and they are easier to deal with but I still get freaked out. Do i challenge the panic attack thoughts as there is nothing else to challenge i.e. I do not know why I am having an attack - do not really get them when I cam awake, only anxiety but no attacks. I am sooooo, sooooo puzzled!!!
