Why sometimes when I wake up at night Im not really myself? As in im having some sort of panic attack.

Question

Yeah... I'll fall asleep, and not even an hour into my sleep ill wake up with my head/heart pounding, me covered in sweat, thinking something is TERRIBLY wrong... but nothing is. And ill walk around panicking and hearing voices in my head (that i know are of course just in my head) until ive completely woken up or watched tv, listened to music ect.

Why? Im only 15, and there really shouldn't be anything wrong with me.
