Hi,I am 56 and I do that most nights,when I was 4 years old I had a double hernia operation,because I had whooping cough that caused the hernia,and my mum told me that the surgeon and nurses dropped me off the operating table and I woke up and since then I feel like I fall off the bed ,just as I am going to sleep,almost every night.So you may have a similar event happened to you.
