Around 4 in the morning, I will occasionally have my eyes fly open, and I am hyper aware that I can’t move. I haven’t decided if I’m still asleep, if my MS is messing with me, or it’s an ischemic stroke episode, but it is quite unsettling. Lasts for 30 seconds to an hour, then I either pass out, or get up. No rhyme or reason to which is the next phase: awake or asleep. I haven’t thought much of it, as I don’t know what to make of it, yet, so I don’t want to go down weird rabbit holes, getting more confused? 😵💫
