Sleep

[bakley]

I have fear of sleeping. I'm afraid I won't wake up. Does anyone else out there? If so how do you handle it. This has been going on for years. On and off.

Hello there, sorry to hear how you are feeling. Yes, I had this a few months ago was awful, now I just try and get on with things... but yes I've had these thoughts as I'm sure many on here have had.

You on any meds at all?

My Nan died in her sleep but she was 72. I don't know how old you are but if your young 50 or under (I know others will say otherwise but we all have different guesses with ages) chances are you will not die in your sleep . I think you might be thinking to much and need a hobby to keep your mind occupied. Or do as I did start meditating , Look it up on wiki they give you step by step instructions it will help to strengthening your thinking negative to much. We all have a fear of dying its a healthy response but don't let it get a hold of you. Control your mind don't let it control you.
