Recently, I have been experiencing at the moment of drifting off to sleep at sleep onset, a surge of adrenaline that causes the usual rapid heartbeat and sweats. Needless to say this prevents me from getting to sleep. This is often repeated a few times before I finally get to sleep.
I never go to bed unless I am sleepy and ready to sleep ( around 11 pm ) so I don’t know why this is happening. Can anyone help?Flight 11, I don’t know if I can help but I can empathize. What you describe is anxiety and I have found the new book Unwinding Anxiety helpful towards learning to breathe through these episodes, practice mindfulness, and generally recognizing and accepting the feelings you describe. The book is good and the application is very helpful. It is subscription based and the techniques and philosophy regarding anxiety is very validating and helpful. There are people from all over the world who are members of the community, many of them with sleep issues. Good luck to you. You describe perfectly what I was experiencing a few months ago. I have less physical symptoms than I had and I still have sleep issues based on worry as Martin describes but the actual expression of the experience of anxiety is much abated.
