 Does anyone else ever get a really specific type of anxiety, where you struggle to sleep because you feel like something bad will happen when you wake up?

For me, I think it's from being blindsided by things one too many times. Like if I let it all drop so I can sleep, it's going to fall apart.

Idk, it's weird. My brain is weird. 
 @664d1a86 it sounds like general fear of putting down defenses but latching on to a specific things.

So it's not unusual.  Just a specific manifestation of general fear.
