I am discovering that I have anxiety when sleeping in my home. I can sleep at my sons house since there are no triggers of past nights of not sleeping? I’m not sure of what to do now?
Michelle – I think you have to try and make your bed at home a happy place again. Stay in bed if you’re awake during the night only if you feel calm and confortable, otherwise get out and do something else to distract negative thoughts and only return when you feel sleepy. It may take some time but your association with your bed will change. I still have sleep issues but I’m slowly starting to love my bed again!
Often, when it comes to anxiety, the struggle comes not from the presence of anxiety — but from all our attempts to fight or avoid it.
If you only allowed yourself to sleep in your own home, what do you think would end up happening?
On the first night, how much sleep do you think you might get? What about on the second night? What about the fifth night? How about the seventh night? Do you think some kind of sleep might happen by the seventh night if you don’t allow yourself to sleep anywhere other than your own home? If so, what might that suggest?
