Is anyone else afraid to sleep?

[Cfghhy]

I'm afraid to sleep at night because of my anxiety

hello Cfghhy and welcome to the group

I am pleased that you were able to come on here and share how you are feeling.

I am sorry that your anxiety affects your sleeping. Have you spoken to your gp about it?

At the moment, it seems a little quiet on here, but I hope that there will be people on here who can share their experiences with you.

do you think some relaxing music or a mindfulness might help you relax enough to at least rest?

I will look in again tomorrow to see if you've been back on.

regards,

hamble.

Thank you for the reply. Have an appointment soon. I can't stay calm at night to get some sleep always afraid something will happen last night was ok but sometimes I just get scared or have a panic attack and i just stay awake until I just get exhausted

Hi there sorry your feeling anxious. I find reading something

At night helps me. You could also try a nice relaxing shower or

Bath as that can relax you.

Try and even listen to music, anything to take your mind off your

Fear.

hi cfghhy, nice to see you on here, my o/h hated going to bed because although she fell asleep she would only sleep for 3 hours or more, when she woke she was terrible with anxiety , could never get back to sleep, she went to the docs, he gave mirtazapine at night to help her sleep, ( small doze ) it worked for her, a good book / relax cd at night helps to calm the mind, take care jasper xx
