It's your muscles relaxing and probably your middle ear settling too.
Your middle ear cause you to feel every sensation of falling, spinning and being off balanced. This usually is a normal thing for those who really relax after a hard day.

Years ago I read that it is a throwback from when we were all apes, and used to have to cling to the tree branches at night when we fell asleep, and it was a defence mechanism so we wouldn.t fall to the ground. Can't say I believe it though, or why aren't apes still evolving today before our eyes?!

I think it happens if you are over tired and you fall asleep too quickly, other than that I don't know

you become too relaxed quickly and your nerves jump from being over relaxed. It's a weird feeling, but it's normal...
