The odd sleep phobia..need wisdom

[The_Anxiety_War]

A very odd phobia has returned..

So back in April of 2018- November 2018..I dealt with something known as somniphobia..basically you fear sleep for reasons that may vary...well after a day of staying up for 25+ hours, I had a terrible panic attack, triggering the phobia to return after almost a whole year. (My fear of sleep is because I'm scared of falling asleep and either dying in my sleep or for some reason, never wake up) I figured all I would need is one good night's rest and I will be reminded of how silly it is..so I had one nights good rest....still anxiety the next night...then I slept good again the next night..and its once again my brain is like "sleep....AHHHHHH!!" it's almost as if this fear is coming back...I'm worried as all hell it is...you would thinking sleeping and waking up would comfort you but then anxiety is like "but..but what if...its only just a matter of time" the human brain is a beautiful yet strange construct...I guess the fear is tougher this time cuz I have an amazing boyfriend in my life..and I love him to death..and if ear leaving him alone in this world...could be I also have a fear of death too..if anyone reads this...if you've dealt with this...and beat it..tell me how..please..I cant handle this phobia for 8 months again...
