This happens to me almost every night. Usually while coming out of sleep, but sometimes while I'm still trying to fall asleep. It used to only happen when I was stressed about work, but once I had a kid it became very frequent.
I hear/see the door open, hear my son's door open, see giant spiders on the wall, hear someone rummaging through the fridge, hear my son screaming, etc. If I get up to check it's always nothing.
That sounds very bad actually.
Every night isn't good, but it's totally normal once in a while. It's just daydreaming or non-terror night terrors.
It's usually not scary, it just jolts me up and out of bed, which interrupts my already limited sleep. It's definitely not great. I'm hoping it'll calm down as my son gets older, but I won't hold my breath.
