Hi all, I am brand new to these forums (I just joined about a minute ago). My girlfriend has been experiencing false awakenings recently. I h ave been doing research on them and I have found no evidence that they are in any way harmful, however she claims that it is harder for her to breathe while she is experiencing one. She only has mild FA's: the farthest she's ever gotten was to the stairs about 10 feet outside of her room, and she only has one a night. I was initially worried that she may have a sleep disorder, but I haven't seen anything that says if FA's are harmful or not. Thanks for your help!
