I can't believe I didn't make the connection until now. The logic isn't there though.... you are letting your mind and body get rest and it backfires on you?
Not SURE that is it, but it sounds very reasonable.

Nobody really knows why they come on, panic/anxiety attacks that is. But there is a strong correlation between "doing nothing" and panic attacks. If you get still and stop thinking, they happen... I first noticed it years ago, most of my attacks were happening right as I tried going to sleep. As everything got still around me and as I stopped thinking about things they would strike. Because of that I don't get nearly as much sleep as I should... I get like 3 hours of sleep on average because for me getting to sleep is an extremely terrifying experience.
