In the beginning it would happen nearly every night but with time the occurrences became rarer. I would basically lie awake with the unshakable impression that I'm positioned exactly opposite to how I had actually been lying down. Nothing, save for turning the light on and seeing the room would make me feel normal again.
What is this wizardry? ._.
So to me, the bold seems to be the part that begs for an answer. I've had the kind of feelings you're talking about, maybe not exactly, but similar enough that I think I get it. Is seems like the anxiety of not being certain of your position is troubling you - it seems to me that you could try to adopt a (for lack of a better word) "zen" attitude towards your position. You might find it less troubling if you can.
It's funny you should say that. A couple nights ago, after having the first anxiety attack in months and still being unable to calm down at night, the feeling came back with unusual strength. It was like on one of the first nights after turning the bed. Touching the wall didn't even help. And you're right, I can't sleep until I shake that feeling. I'll try it, thanks.
