Can you take your anxiety into bed with you(hypnic jerks, heart palps) if you first don't calm down, decompress a few hours before ?

[braziljjay]

I've noticed that if I'm calm 2 hours before I get into bed

i'm relatively calm and can sleep with few ectopics, heart palps, racing thoughts

or uneasiness.

However I find that when I get into bed straight from a long, stressful day full of anxiety

and I haven't done anything to mediate it before bed

I get hypnic jerks, like just as I'm falling a sleep, I get this sweeping anxiety jolt

all over my body followed by some heart palpitations, this causes me to wake up or breath

hard and then it's normal. Then I try to fall asleep again. then just when I'm getting knocked out

the same jolt of anxiety, almost like a chemical rush goes into my body and I feel super anxious,

get the heart palps, jerk a bit and wake up.Eventually I fall asleep.

Anyone ever experience this? Is it true that if you did solve this its becuase you worked out, did yoga,

mindful meditation, maybe smoked a joint before going to bed or a few hours before calmed yourself down ?

Some people are more sensitive to electricity/EMFs than others and it can cause the problems you are experiencing.

Try Earthing yourself for half-an-hour before you go to bed. Just stand or sit with your bare feet touching the Earth (grass, sand, concrete, etc) while you enjoy a drink.

It's FREE so why not try it?

That works. I just tried it. Thanks for the tip

Woo hoo! I'm glad you tried it.

Did you find that you fell asleep quickly and woke up feeling refreshed? That was the first thing I noticed when I started.

There's a lot of info online about Earthing/Grounding and it helps with a lot of things as is what Nature intended.

I've been Earthing for quite a while now and have had a lot of benefits and so have my family and friends.

If you want to Earth yourself more have a look at the Earthing mats I sell on ebay.

My seller's name is Polara007 on there so search for Earthing mats and you should see my listing.

You can also make Earthing yourself outside a bit more comfortable by wearing "silver socks". The ones I use are made by Carnation and are sold by Cuxon Gerrard online for £12 for two pairs. There are other makes (often much more expensive) but I find that these are the best because every fibre is coated in silver and silver is best for conducting electricity so you are earthed if you wear them and stand on the grass etc. Much better in the winter! They also help with circulation and other foot problems too as they are anti-microbial.

Thank you for letting me know the good news.
