I have had sleep issues for most of my adult life, think it’s genetic. A traumatic event has occurred recently and I am waking in middle of the night with a pounding heart & unable to go back to sleep. This is increasing my already dreadful anxiety. Any suggestions most welcome

Hi MaggieMac13!

Welcome and thanks for posting! Life changing events can certainly disrupt our sleep but our sleep usually returns to normal once that stressor has passed. When we change our thoughts and behaviors about our sleep, it usually perpetuates itself. Are your anxious thoughts primarily about your sleep issues? Have you considered writing down your concerns during the day to reduce the anxiety at night?
