I dont know, this sleeping problem happens when I feel stress at work. Its like my eyes and body really wants to sleep bur my brain just could not stop thinking about anything even those that has nothibg to do with my work and whats worse is that i cant control it. Its like Ive been dreaming the whole night but when I open my eyes i would realize that it wasnt a dream because i can remember everything. i mean when were dreaming we usually forget the details when we wake up. And i could really feel that my brain is really exhausted.

Ive tried watching meditation for sleeping last night. And I think it helped, I fell asleep though during the dawn I remember my brain thinking bout different things again. I'll be trying this every night i hope I get better every night.

Hi white92, our subconscious mind never sleeps and continues to play

the day's events as well as our anxiety and problems. When turning to

Meditation at night it can help block the ruminating thoughts by giving

you something else to be thinking about that is calm and peaceful.

It is better that you do not watch the video on meditation but close your

eyes and breathe while listening to the chosen words of the speaker. It

usually takes up to 30 days before your brain adjusts to the suggestions

given to you. I've been doing it for years now and with just hearing the

first few words, I feel peace come over me and it is amazing how fast I

can fall asleep w/o realizing it.

Wishing you well. :) xx

Thank you for the info. I'll be doing this every night, I hope it works for me too. I'm scared It gets out of hand and I become mentally ill because of lack of sleep for almost one month. 😔

white92, have you talked with your doctor regarding your sleep issues?

You will not become mentally ill from the lack of sleep. Physically you may

not feel up to par but know that quiet resting while listening to meditation

can allow you some benefits. :) xx

When my anxiety kicks in and I feel so worried. Despite that I am so tired and sleepy. My body's asleep but my mind keep functioning and thinking and thinking.

Usually just to let my mind get really tired to fall asleep, I would read a novel before going to bed. It helps me fall asleep. :)
