Trouble Sleeping

[WorkInProgress07]

I've been having a really hard time falling asleep lately. I just cant turn my mind off. Can anyone share their tips and tricks for restless nights?

[Hidden]

Yes. My mind races at night from things to do, things I wish I would've done or said to someone, work, the past, etc. About a year ago my husband suggested listening to rain sounds on my phone. I do it every night. When my mind starts I say, listen to the rain. It calms me and distracts me. Try it. can't live without it now.

I battle insomnia...what I do is start at the very top of my head..concentrate on relaxing my hair, forehead, eyes, going all the way down the body...helps to relax me..maybe give it a try...you can even do eyelashes etc., usually I fall asleep at some point..you have to focus on just relaxing each part and nothing else...all the best for you...

I always have a fan on for some noise and the sensation. That helps me.

I'm with you there. I absolutely cannot sleep without a fan on.

I have the same problem exhausted today dizziness do you get any of that

[WorkInProgress07 in reply to Masom]

Yes I get dizzy and cant focus when I'm sleep deprived, like today. My head gets fuzzy and it feels like I'm off balance.

[Masom]

Yes that's me today, do you take antidepressants

[WorkInProgress07 in reply to Masom]

Right now I don't but I'm open to it if my therapist suggests it

[Masom in reply to WorkInProgress07]

[Masom]

Also do you work I lost my job through loads of stress and my anxiety

[WorkInProgress07 in reply to Masom]

I'm sorry that happened to you. I do work but I'm not happy at my job and it causes a lot of stress for me.

[Masom]

It's awful isn't it, worst illness on earth

[Masom]

Do you get sore eyes and blurry vision

Picture a room in your home. Starting in one corner, slowly look at everything in that room in detail. You may fall asleep before reaching the corner you started at as it helps to stop your mind racing.
