Can’t sleep..

So, here’s to another day of little sleep. No matter how tired I can get I just can’t stay asleep. I’ve gotten maybe an hour of sleep tonight and it’s a little discouraging.

I don’t have an issue falling asleep the issue is just staying asleep :(

I’m the same way. Once I wake up my mind starts running a thousand miles an hour and I can’t stop it. And can’t fall back asleep. It’s very frustrating and throws my whole day off. I was never like this until my anxiety got really bad which makes sense since I drive myself insane worrying about everything. I wish I could help but I can’t even help myself. I hope you get some sleep tonight

Thanks I hope so too! Also I’m hoping it’s just because I started on lexapro since my emotions are all over the place.

Nope I was able to sleep fine before even if sometimes it was in intervals.

I figured as much, I just tend to overthink at times but thanks!

So far it’s not bad taking baby steps today making sure I stay productive and spending time with family and pets! How is yours?

Meditation or nature sounds and sleepy time tea may help you sleep 😴
