I am the most relaxed from early evening and going to bed. I suffer from constant anxiety and nausea with no appetite. Nearly every night now I have started waking up in terror always about two and a quarter hours after falling asleep.
This makes me so nervous about coping the next day
Has anyone else experienced this. Please help.
I posted on regards to this last night, my new symptom is now dizziness and its awful, i have found that if i concentrate on something like cleaning it goes away, the way i think is that of it was something to worry about i would feel dizzy constantly, which i dont it just kinda comes and goes
Thank you for your reply. I thought that in that usually I feel a bit more relaxed early evening. The fact that the waking happens so shockingly is scary because it is totally out of your control. Spooky to that it happens just two hours after falling asleep. Guess I am entering a different stage of sleep.
Going to try Kalms.
I know exactly how you feel, I experience this similar issue probably 3-4 nights a week. After I fall asleep I’ll wake up 2-3 hours later in a panic and I’m worried about the day ahead. It’s stupid stuff that I think about. I sometimes try to relax after I’ve been woken up by taking deep breaths and focusing on my breathing. Sometimes it may help me to fall back asleep but only to be woken up thirty to forty minutes later and having to repeat this whole cycle. I get so frustrated and I wake up feeling absolutely drained and beat up.
I wish I had some advice to give you on how to cope with the insomnia. The only thing I’ve found that works is the breathing exercises and even that is hit and miss.
Oh dear. I know how awful that can be. I struggle with breathing as concentrating on it makes me more aware. I usually try muttering inwardly that I am going to ignore it. Stupidly I usually find myself too scared to move for whatever reason, so getting up to make a drink isn't a viable option.
Interesting though that it kicks in after about the same time. There has to be a connection.
Good luck and thank you for your reply.
TOtally normal.
Almost every night but before I go to bed I feel great wake up every 2 to 3 hrs and it just gets worse can't explain it mornings are the worst
Nice to know this two hour thing isn't just me, but not nice to know how many suffer it.
The whole day in England has been heavy cloud, barely getting light and the same again tomorrow, but a bit milder. Not being able to work means rationing heating
Yes, mornings are worse. At first I thought it was low blood sugar, being a reluctant breakfaster at the best of times.
However, I am now beginning to think that it is the effort of battling a new day. I am sorry if this sounds negative, but what I am learning is that achieving something one day, doesn't necessarily mean that you can automatically do it again. This is very disheartening, exhausting and hard to explain.
I have temporarily given up plans to try and lessen this stress and act on the moment. This is by no means a long term practical solution as it makes you unreliable, something you just cannot be, being self employed.
The whole thing sucks.
May each and everyone have better mornings.
