Sleeping pattern is messed up.

[ahmedkobz89]

Before I use to sleep lika a baby and enjoyed sleep, never had a thought come to my mind to disturb me in thoses days but now that I have developed a fear of dying which makes me afraid to sleep every night I'm up until 6.30 am till 1 or 2pm not that I can't sleep but the thought of dying forces me to stay awake. Now I hate going to bed and sleeping I just cannot control what my mind puts in my head. It's just soo damn crazy that anxiety affects even the normal things in life. CRAZY LIFE

I am old now but what you have just written applies almost exactly to me.If you look on this site between 2am and 6am you will see I am here somewhere.My sleeping pattern is slightly different.I usually fall asleep about 11pm and wake up at 2am in a cold sweat.Then I go to sleep again at 6am and wake again about 9am.And it is all because of this fear of death.It's horrible mind blowing and I wish I knew the answer.

Hey guys, have you considered meditation? I too have suffered from insomnia and relentless anxiety attacks and I have found meditation to be the best course of action. I really feel like a new man after I've meditated and have such an overwhelming feeling of peace that I hitherto have not experienced. Not that I have all the answers but it is working for me. Look for Zen classes in your local area, trust me, it helps.
