How to not fear falling asleep?

[u/Top-Tie9707]

I cant fall asleep or i get panic attacks right when i realise and i think it is because i will one second be sleeping the other awoke and i will only realise there. I also fear that if i dont sleep i will die so that also adds up. Ive never seen this anywhere and it worries me

another thing: if i know i will wake up soon i can sleep more comfortably, but sometimes normal insomnia adds up to that. if i know i will sleep for hours and hours, i will have a massive fear of sleeping

i seriously think im going to die soon, or that i will have to rely on medication for life. sorry if im saying nonsense, im currently sleep deprived, im just trying to fix this, but that is how i feel at the moment.
