I’ve been dealing with this for 3 full months. Sleep that is not refreshing. I feel stuck in this half awake stage.

Sometimes I manage to sleep and wake up from dreams at 3am and then toss and turn till 7.30am. Almost every single day. It boggles my mind. I generally don’t have much thoughts at night. Been journaling before bed.

I have anxiety during the day and don’t feel like myself. Sometimes, when I go out at night & have fun, I come back even more aroused unable to sleep.

Help. I’m only 27.

Hi @Hopeandfaith,

Welcome to the forum! I’m glad to hear that you’re continuing to go about your day normally, regardless of how you slept. Some people who experience sleep disruption will begin to change their behaviors in an effort to fix their sleep issue but sleep responds negatively to those efforts.

Everybody has brief awakenings during the night, which usually occur when you’re transitioning to the next sleep phase. For most, they aren’t disruptive but it’s those wake and respond negatively to the wakefulness by having anxious thoughts or becoming frustrated that can perpetuate the issue. Usually, the best way to react to a few difficult nights is not to react since our reactions aren’t helpful. When you wake in the middle of the night, do you find yourself anxious or relaxed?

Is your anxiety during the day and when you return from a night out due to your sleep issue or other life triggers?
