It can be a little alarming when something like that happens, but when you know it can be a normal part of waking up, you realize that there is no reason to be afraid. In fact, many people welcome such experiences. That borderline between waking and sleeping can be a pretty interesting place.

Your insomnia could have had something to do with it. Give yourself about a week and see if things return to normal.
