Hello all,
Background story, I had a battle with insomnia last year which originated from coming off a prescription medication. I then developed sleep anxiety and would struggle to fall asleep. Thankfully from November last year the issue seemed to resolve and I was sleeping good amounts most nights. Last night however I was unable to sleep all night, I tossed and turned and in the end I got up at 4am and gave up! We are in the midst of a heatwave here in the UK and I struggled to get comfortable with it being so hot! I feel anxious that now this will now trigger my anxiety and insomnia again!
So naturally I am seeking reassurance, to my knowledge there is nothing else that would have prevented me from sleeping last night other then the heat however previously I have struggled but always managed to fall asleep in the end. Can the heat make us unable to fall asleep?
Thank you in advance xHeat has definitely kept me awake. Can you do anything about it? Turn up the air conditioner, turn on a fan, etc.? In the meantime, try to let the anxiety go. Worrying about not sleeping will only make it worse and is the cause of chronic anxiety. So “chill” out if you can!
Temporary sleep disruption during a heatwave isn’t unusual and probably isn’t something to be concerned about! How are you doing since you posted?
