Sleep

Worried that my sleep pattern is so bad that if I try to go to sleep now I’ll slip into a coma

Why do you think that?

I’ve worried about that too, but it won’t happen. Sleep is exactly what your mind and body need. You will be safe. The body is self preserving.

Why would you go into a coma if you fall asleep? Only people with very severe injuries might be do that. Do you have any very severe issues?

Your worrying is keeping you from What you need the Most... Sleep

I have problems falling and staying asleep. It seems to be anxiety related. Is there anything you thing you could fall asleep to? Music? Voice recordings? I find this helps me a great deal even if I am listening for 1,5 hours at 3am. I do hope things improve for you.

Bless you, I’m sorry you’re so worried. Do you have health anxiety, like I do? It’s so very frightening when you are afraid to sleep.

So, I have the most awful health anxiety and I’m going to try and be rational here - and I hate it when I’m anxious and someone is rational, so forgive me!

A bad sleep pattern will, at worst, cause you to feel worse physically and mentally. He likelihood of you slipping into a coma is so very unlikely. Is there a reason you’re worried about a coma specifically? I will totally understand your answer, no matter what it is xx

Hi thank you all for replying. I’m so so sorry to hear you also struggle as well and to be honest there is never any reason why I think it’ll happen I just believed it would. I thankfully actually slept for 12 hours after the previous night of getting no sleep

I have the issue. At night I don't sleep. I stay up all night long. When I do dose off to sleep. I have anxiety attacks in my sleep which cause my heart to race really fast. I get very nervous which makes the anxiety worse. I can go through this for days. I will force myself to stay up because I'm afraid to sleep.

Currently suffering the same fear. Its 1 o'clock am and I keep dosing off because I'm so tired, but I'm convinced if I go to sleep I'm going to slip into one. This sucks
