Sleeping anxiety

[Chris-saunders]

This is a strange one but. At the moment I have issues getting to sleep. The issue seems to be with my mind consontrating so much on my partners breathing ( it can get quite heavy at time) It's only been since we have moved to a new home ( we have been together over 2 years ) and this has never been an issue before.

You may be focusing on partners breathing instead of ur own. I used to try breathe in sync with my partner as I thought my breathing wasn't normal xx

Thank you for the reply. I seem to find my self waking her and telling her. Very odd though as I never been bothered about it for 2 years

Lol Yes I take a long pause in between my breaths and sometimes I catch myself in the bed trying to breathe at his rate because mines so slow compared to his.

I do the same.. My boyfriend always breathes heavy or very light it seems and sometimes his body will jolt very fast and it scares me.. I find myself waking him up and asking if he is okay or if something is bothering him.. And I mean sometimes it could be 4 in the morning and ill get up for a drink or something and ill wake him up to make sure he is alright.. I have been with him for a year and like you said it has never bothered me but lately I just have to make sure he is okay. When he leaves for work in the morning I have to text him and make sure he made it there okay. If I don't get a text back my mind goes nuts.

My mind just doesn't seem to switch off when I go to bed. I think the heavy breathing part from my partners view keeps me awake just because it's loud but it never bothered me before

Hope everyone is doing good are well 😊
