Hello everyone, I didn’t fall asleep until 6 in the morning. I was kept up as I was worried about my future and then when I relaxed a bit I was like am I sleeping yet and I wasn’t and I tossed and turned and went on my phone. I thought I lost my ability to sleep. I don’t know what to do I hope I can still sleep well. It makes me anxious when members of my household can sleep before me. I wish I can get back to sleeping normally.
Hey! Welcome to the forum!
Life events can certainly trigger some sleep disruption but typically after the stressor goes away our sleep returns to normal. Anxious thoughts about our sleep can perpetuate sleep disruptions. The good news is that we don’t lose our ability to sleep just like we don’t forget how to breathe. Sometimes, it can feel like we won’t ever sleep again, but that’s not an uncommon reaction when we experience consistent poor sleep.
Why do you think you become anxious when others in the house are able to sleep before you? Lying in bed awake programs the mind to associate the bed with wakefulness, anxiety and frustration. If you’re experiencing any of those feelings, do you think it’d be beneficial to get out of bed and engage in something more enjoyable – watching tv, listening to a podcast, etc?
Hope that helps,
