okay so i’ll just use the ideas written
whats your biggest sleep challenge?
uhm so i don’t really get that one but i think it’s like the noices (like screaming or crying or laughing) and when i close my eyes there some kind of white flash i see thats not real but that makes me stay awake for some reason. i dont know why i’m scared of it but i am.
talk about the cause of your sleep-issues
this ones easy. i think have some kind of (secondary) trauma. a person i was very very close to died because i wasn’t there for him and since that (i also had a lack of sleep for about 2 years because i always like talked with him at night) i wasn’t able to sleep.
share some tips that have helped you sleep
don’t listen to music. music like wakes emotions and that’ll keep you awake. try listening to binaural beats, that helps a bit. i also took sleeping pills but regret that because i feel like they just made it worse. playing videogames (that have a clean/simple storyline can help. they won’t trigger something easily and make you think about something else that sleep.
tell us what brought you to insomnia coach
i was bored and since i didn’t know anyone who has insomnia too i just wanted to chat with some ppl i can relate to and this website seemed safe.
share your sleep-related worries and concerns
I don’t really get this one either but i think its like the feeling? and hallucinations. for example when i go out shopping i see weird thinks like things crashing or people. I also hear voices yelling or crying but when i turn around no ones there. i didnt have that before. and i can’t really understand stuff at school. i love maths and physics and read a lot of books and watched many movies about quantum physics and the theory of relativity and the no boundary function. but for now almost 2 years i need to study really hard for every subject because i don’t get them. i can’t concentrate or listen and my grades are getting bad because i forget things or don’t say like anything in the classes. i was a really good student before.
uhm yeah
i hope here are some people i can relate to and just reading any post would help i guess.
