Yet another bad night

5 Replies

It's almost 02:00 in the morning and for a couple of hours I'm lying on the sofa. I answered a few messages on the forum, and now I am spending most of my time looking at the ceiling and trying to think about nothing.

I'm tired, but I don't want to go to sleep because each time I close my eyes I'm overwhelmed by sad thoughts. I'm afraid if I fall asleep regrets and depressive memories will come to haunt me in my dreams.

I tried breathing and relaxing technics but nothing works. Negative and pessimistic feelings are firmly bound to my mind.

I don't know what I expect by posting this message. Probably it is just a way to keep my brain busy until I'll be tired enough to fall into a dreamless sleep.

Hi Sylvain, Can you think about the day you married your wife and the day your son was born. I wish you could get some rest

Thanks Geinki. It worked pretty well: I fall asleep a few minutes after posting the message above and woke up half an hour ago.

Hi Sylvain- Hopefully you have fallen asleep and if so you can use my suggestion

tomorrow night.

Going to bed should be a safe, cool, dark space for you to fully relax.

You cannot wish yourself asleep. You cannot try to think of nothing but you

can listen to the soft gentle words of this video on YouTube

Get comfortable and tune in to the hypnotic words by the Mindful Movement, called

"Fall Asleep Fast Deep Sleep Meditation for Insomnia." Goodnight dear friend :) xx
