Body vibrations when falling asleep or waking?

Happened to me last night. I'm 17 male and I've been having this happen to me over the years. I find that it happens on the nights where I cannot sleep in bed until after a few hours of trying. Then when I close my eyes, I feel as though my brain is distorting itself from reality (buzzing, vibrating etc) very hard to describe the exact feeling but it does feel good. I also am able to intensify the feeling by looking up, or if I open my eyes the feeling goes away completely. Idk if this is just me but this also sometimes leads me into sleep paralysis or lucid dreaming. Another thing that happens to me other than this is when in the same scenario, instead of my head buzzing, i'll feel like I'm falling (but not the type of fall that you see other people talk about) the fall feels more vivid, and I am able to move, however as the fall progresses, it slows my ability to move. I am also able to exit and re enter this state for as long as I don't give in completely to the fall, and fall asleep. This usually then is accompanied by sleep paralysis if I give into the fall. Super weird but honestly cool. I'm really intrigued as to knowing what this is and am glad I'm not the only one who experiences this.

I get this too!! It's exactly how you explain it. I get the weird sensation like a brain zap, or a humming, or a feeling that I'm falling when I'm kind of tired. If I lay down and stay still, I can project my dream self from my real body and walk around my subconscious like I'm in a lucid dream. However, I'm completely awake and I can usually move my real body whenever I want. It feels like a skill to develop. Sometimes (usually at night), the feeling puts me into sleep paralysis. I either try to turn it into a lucid awake dream thingy or I fail and scare the shit outta myself. Sometimes I'll get the body zap, humming, or falling/spinning feeling all day whenever i turn my head or blink hard. Its like I just have to go into the awake dream thing. It's been happening for almost 3 years so it's weird seeing someone else describe the same thing.
