Peacefully transitioning to sleep

Interesting. I have full-on hypnagogic hallucinations which almost always manifest as something scary--a person standing by my bed, me falling into a hole, the sound of someone breaking into the house. Occasionally, though, the hallucinations are pleasant such as someone stroking my hair or even performing a sex act on me. Sometimes I just see random geometric patterns or hear strange sounds that aren't really there. By the time these things happen, though, I'm at the point where I can't pull myself out of them and reawaken so I have to just go with it. It happens about 2-3x a week.

That has to be very scary.
I’ve had some experience with the feeling that you are stuck in on position and screaming in your sleep for someone to just pull you up out of the position in bed .
It’s so frightening.
I don’t sleep 💤 well as it is , have a dozen chronic health issues for 10 years now .
Not getting good sleep ( I even take sleep med for long time ) is so bad for our overall mental health and physical health. 🙏😵‍💫🥲
