possibility of a genuine physical cause.
Check your bedding and mattress for signs of insects. Bed bugs, for example, may leave bites, blood spots, or dark marks around mattress seams. Other conditions, including dry skin, nerve problems, and shingles, can also cause unusual sensations.
If you actually find insects, bites, a rash, or other visible changes, investigate the cause rather than assuming it’s simply stress.
What Can You Do When It Happens?
If you wake up with a crawling sensation and can’t find anything unusual, try not to panic.
