Hi Mr. dacflyer, thanks for your kind attention.

Only in this apartment did I feel vibration and "electric shock", and only me lives in this apartment.

In past two days, I have removed the mattress, and laid aluminum foil covering an area of 1m*2m (Width*Length) on the platform, with several layers of yoga mats and cotton quilt over the aluminum foil, and felt much reduced level and times of shock and vibration on this "self-made bed".

Besides, with the "Ultimate EMF Detector Free" app, I found out one place on ceiling near an exterior wall has a relatively high electromagnetic radiation value (106 microTesla, normal value is 30-60 microTesla according to the instruction of the app). It is a little weird. I'll keep detecting that place in the following days.

I wish all these problems could stop soon.

if it was me, i'd invite a friend to spend the day or night, and see if it has a effect on them..
i'd also contact someone that was a professional of Amateur radio , what sort of building do you live in ? apartment ? house ?
one last question.. are you a Diabetic ? i once knew a lady that was a Diabetic.. she was also partially blind from this, but she also had a problem, and many people thought she was nuts...but she wasn't.. she used to complain that she had a stinging lizard in her house, and it was attacking her all the time.. i could be in the house with her, and she would suddenly start screaming and crying of the pain..
there was never injuries to her leg, and i never saw it either.. well someone listened to her one day,, and investigated it.. and she was found to have diabetic nerve pain, and this is what was happening to her, and she was so convinced that it was true.. but with medications, she was much better, and never complained of the lizard again.. perhaps later i can have more ideas.. but i think if what is happening to you, will also happen to a friend, if the problem is real in your house.. if it does not bother them, then i would suggest more medical test..
if it happens to your friend also... then the building needs more testing..

I know it will sound too coincidental but I have experienced this very thing, minus the vibration. I am hoping I have told this story before here as proof but I did not yet search for it. It was while I was in the Navy, after I had come back from a deployment.

I was exhausted and immediately after getting back to my room I took a shower and laid down. Just as I fell into sleep, I experienced a violent electric shock. I sat up, turned my light on, looked under my covers for any exposed wires, found none, and laid back down.

Again, just as I dozed off, another shock. I got out of bed, pulled the bed out from the wall, looked all around the bed frame for any wires contacting the bed, and there were none. Went back to bed.

Again, as I slipped off into sleep, another shock. It happened again and again and again, all night. I knew enough about electricity that after several shocks I was able to rule out the possibility that these were real electric shocks, but that made me even more nervous. Was I having seizures? Was I going crazy?

I went in the morning to the Navy doctor and he called it "hypnic jerks." The way he explained it is that your body has a mechanism to wake you up in dangerous situations, like the scenario where you fall asleep sitting at your desk, and you start to fall over, and you "snap" awake right before your face hits the desk. Well sometimes this mechanism can malfunction and cause these sensations which wake you up even when there is no danger. The sensations can very from electric hallucinations of electric shock to feeling of falling, to auditory hallucinations. Mine, at that time (and I suspect yours at this time) were electric shock. He said it would eventually go away, and it did, after a couple of weeks with very (very) little sleep.

This phenomenon can be triggered from various things feom stress to sleep deprivation (ironically).

Later in life I suffered a similar (and i think probably related) phenomenon, dramatically call the "Exploding Head Syndrome." It is auditory hallucinations that happen after you fall asleep. Extremely Loud and frightening noises would wake me from my sleep every night for over a week. I heard a cacophony of trumpets, literal explosions, the sound of dragging a chair across a wood floor, a woman screaming, the buzzer in a basketball court, and the list goes on. Something different every night. It was very disturbing, but it too went away after a while.

If you're still convinced this is a real electric shock, use it as an opportunity to learn more about electricity. Don't just accept from us telling you that it isn't, go out and find a real scientific principle which proves that what you are experiencing is real. When you can't, then go see a doctor. You will be more knowledgeable for it.

Re: post #23
I have found the evidence from 2011, that I did not just make up this story to suit your thread:
https://forum.allaboutcircuits.com/posts/371275/

I went through a 2 week phase a couple of years ago where I would experience electric shock feelings as I would dose off. the first time it happened, I felt a little unnerved; didn't know what happened; talked myself out of believing that I had been electrocuted in bed, and after about 30min of settling down, i started to fall off to sleep again, and right before I started dreaming it happened again. That time I couldn't deny it; I turned on the light and pulled my bed away from the wall, pulled all my sheets of, and verified that there were no wires contacting either me or my bed. Could not explain it. laid awake in bed all night getting zapped every 30 min or so (every time I start to doze off.) Went to the doctor (military doctor) in the morning who told me to drink more water. Tried drinking water and it didn't help. Every night for 2 weeks this happened. My supervisor called me in for a talk about my performance at work and warned me about the military's random drug test program. I did my own research and concluded that it was from stress. After 2 weeks it stopped just as suddenly as it started and I haven't had it happen since.

Hi Mr. dacflyer and Mr. strantor, thank you very much for sharing your experience and ideas!

After all these days, now I think it is not electric shock, but mechanical shock. Both vibration and shock come from downstairs.
I decide and prepare to move to another place.

Thank you all for your valuable care and suggestions! May all of you have a wonderful life!

what could there be downstairs that could effect you like this ? high voltage experiments ? living on top of a sub station ( highly unlikely)
i hope you report to us from your new place, and that if the problem has gone away....

Mr. Dacflyer, thank you very much for your care, I will feed back if the problem is gone after house moving.
Wish you all and myself a peaceful and beautiful life.

yes, please let me know...
Hi Mr. Dacflyer, now I have moved into a new apartment for just one week, and no longer feel any electric shocks while sleeping on a quilt directly lying on the wooden floor. The muscles tremor and body balance problem, which were due to electric shock feeling, are also getting alleviated and hopefully will completely disappear in future.
I wish myself and all of you kind-hearted and caring souls a peaceful, healthful and joyful life.
