From what Ive been reading this is not even used as a diagnosis anymore if it ever was (other than Dr Gupta in England) not sure if I had stated it or not already, over the last 2 months when falling asleep and waking Ive been dealing with these hypnic vibrations which brings me to this page. I wonder if this has to do with excess stress anxiety and the vagal response, I try to stay away from Social media and the divisive and stressful nature of its algorithms that try to promote engagement, and have recently started trying things like humming and massaging the vagal in the neck and breathing to try to calm the vagal nerve, and reduce the hyperactive feedback loop.

From Neurolaunch:
Anxiety and hypervigilance about bodily sensations can create a feedback loop that amplifies the perception of sleep vibrations. Individuals who are particularly attuned to their physical experiences may interpret normal physiological processes, such as the heartbeat or blood flow, as vibrations or tremors. This heightened focus on bodily sensations can lead to increased anxiety, which in turn may exacerbate the perceived vibrations.

@neetzeeberridge I also have issues with trying to turn it off, my mind just doesn't ever shut down and it becomes so stressful. Slow deep breathing specifically on the exhale, perhaps some yoga or meditation, relax 🙂 thoughts of the wonderful people you have met throughout the years, and those still in your life. I find socializing with kind human beings very helpful, no talks of politics and the things poisoning our minds (those are things that are not within our control) concentrate on the things that make you happy in the moment, and the things that are within your control, like diet, gut heath, exercise with a nice walk in a park or near water edge, spending time with the people you care about. They all have positive benefits on the vagal response and reduce or stop the activity of the sympathetic nervous system which is our fight or flight response to stress.
