Out off body experience when I'm trying to sleep.

Hi
I'm sorry for my broken English.
I think I'm either going mental, have a brain cancer or I'm haunted.
And I'm not sure if this is the correct thread. If not, I'm sorry
It doesn't happen very often, I had one of those last night, but previously it happened two nights in a row over 5 months ago. But it happens from over the last two years. And it's always the same thing and always goes the same way.
I know how this wild and stupid this sounds, but here I go.
Sometimes, when I'm trying to sleep, I'm having something like a buzzing in my head, the only thing I can compare the sensation, is when You put your head to the window in a moving vehicle. Or if You try to close your eyes very tightly. Kind like shaking, buzzing sounds and feeling.
My body, especially my legs, feel very tired and heavy, it's almost painful. Like after exercise for a whole day. And I can barely move.
I can open my eyes but when I'm closing them I have this buzzing and shaking but I know I'm awake as I can hear and feel my cat moving next to me.
And then the wild part, I feel like I'm floating, or rather very fast flying up. It might sound cool or amazing and definitely very stupid but it's very stressful. Sometimes I feel like my body hits the celling and then I'm fast falling down, sometimes I'm 'flying' even higher and then falling. Just after this is over, I can move my body normally, until I'll start to fall asleep again.
Last night I had this 7 times in a row, I couldn't sleep for almost 3 hours.
I don't do drugs, even weed, I don't smoke but I'm vaping, a lot, I'm drinking alcohol every 3-4 weeks or less and never to the point off passing out. (3-4 pints at most) I do drink a lot of fluids, mostly black tea and water (2.5 l) Female, 36 years old.
I know how stupid this sounds but I'm starting to worry
Any ideas what's wrong with me?

This sensation can happen when you fall asleep. I think it has something to do with REM and your mind waking up as you drift off. It's pretty normal.
