anyone else experience sleep fainting?

I wake up 1-2 times monthly feeling extremely disoriented and faint, sometimes briefly losing consciousness. Episodes last <60 seconds and ONLY happen during deep sleep. Despite treating my sleep apnea with CPAP and having cardiac workups (I also have daily PVCs), doctors keep dismissing it as "psychological." Has anyone experienced sleep syncope or similar episodes? This is genuinely terrifying and I feel completely dismissed. #SleepSyncope #SleepDisorders #PatientAdvocacy
