    Jake, when you are in an anxious state anything that you experience which under normal circumstances you rationalise becomes an irrational thought, when you are about to doze off you are in a semi hypnotic state which is part of the sleep process just like REM is, so you can experience all sorts like the sudden jerk waking up like you've just tripped or fallen over.

    So your de ja vu is likely to be just something you experience as part of sleep however your anxiety is putting two and two together and coming up with five and your telling yourself that something which is normal is something else which feeds your anxiety.

    You haven't a brain Timor or having a seizure your experiencing normal things but reacting to them in an abnormal way which is with anxious irrational thoughts.
