Night anxiety

[gutierrezk67]

Hello, im going on possibly day 5 of not being able to get to sleep. Im not sure what else to try. Can someone please share some things you do to help you sleep? I almost fear the night because of what I have been going through. Thank you

I am the exact same way. Once it hits like 9pm I start to panic because I know I’ll be going to bed soon. I had a terrible night last night. Had a panic attack around 1am and couldn’t sleep for shit. Listened to music and watched a movie in bed and it didn’t make me fall asleep, just put me into a coma almost. It was super weird and now I feel disconnected with the day.

It just really sucks cause im tired and ready to go to sleep the minute i put my head on the pillow i start to feel things in my chest, I have palpitations. I listen to Joel Osteen who is inspirational but even that hasn't been helping. Im just not sure what else to do. Im going to our local health store to see if they have anything I can try. I was taking melatonin but that doesn't help anymore.

I have had the same problems in the past. I have to take a sleeping medication. Otherwise I don't sleep and then I have more symptoms. I sometimes listen to podcasts on my headphones and that puts me to sleep. I have not tried the weighted blankets, but I hear that help with feeling safe and grounded.

It is hell not getting enough good sleep, my psychiatrist put me on Zyprexa 5 mg, now I sleep soundly usually 9 or 10 hours I Love it, I do not wake up groggy, but alert and ready to go with no bad taste in my mouth. He also recommends melatonin 5 mg at bed time, sometimes I forget, I still get a really good sleep. You could ask your MD for the Zyprexa. Hope this is of help. Sending Love and good rest.......Sprinkle 1.........xxx

I dealt with the same issue for three months until i tried some CBD oil without THC that calmed me down and made me sleep.
