I am scared to go to sleep.

[anon99]

I am so tired but I’m afraid to go to sleep. I don’t like hospitals. I feel shaky and sweaty and exhausted. What if something happens and I don’t wake up? Im struggling to keep my eyes open. I don’t wanna die.

I'm sorry you're feeling this way! It's the worst and I can relate. Just try to take 6 deep breaths inhale through your nose exhale through your mouth. Ive had to download sleep and meditation apps to help and they have some. Maybe take a walk or bath drink some sleep or calming tea if you have any. I hope you start feeling better and can get some rest.

You won't die so easy. If you are sick enough to die in sleep, in that way you can also die same without you sleeping. That's why, relax. You are not sick, there is no reason to die.

[Raffaels]

You just need a company, maybe a medicine or natural tee to relax.

You’re going to be ok. You are not going to die.

That's a horrible feeling! It makes me think of one of the 15 skills we teach our students at my school. Fact vs Feeling. It FEELS like you're going to die if you sleep, but the fact is you'll be completely fine. Take a few good breaths, in your nose and out your mouth. Then give in to your body's need to sleep. You got this!

Hi,

Why are you afraid to sleep? Are you in the hospital now?

Deep breaths and count to 10 each time when inhaling and exhaling for about 5 times each.

I reached that stage and I struggled with the same experience for a year and half. On top of what you’ve just described, I didn’t like to be in public or in my room alone. I was extremely worried of everything especially my life. But I just took some African traditional medicine, (which I’m always reluctant to recommending people) for one week and the result was more than amazing. I’m never anxious or suffer from any symptoms of anxiety as I used to before.

The reason why i said that I’m always reluctant to recommending the African traditional médecine that helped me is because I don’t know how your body would react to it. I was born using traditional médecine( from toots, leafs and tree layers) all my life. So I am used to them
