Hi I'm here

HI Pink x I think anxiety is one of those things that cannot sleep x and therefore neither can we x Its due to the adrenalin stirring up the cortisol levels in our brain and then your whole body becomes alert ie not tired x The cortisol may stay high for ages afterwards or you could be lucky and if you calm it will subside and sleep will come x Try to write down how you feel, or do some relaxing breathing or light yoga if you can re focus you will become tired xxx Donver
