Hi Allybobw
Sorry to hear that your struggling.
I have been struggling now for 9 months.
One bit of advice I would give looking back at my experience is…….may sound really simple but you need to not think whatsoever about sleeping so try and keep your mind focused on something else through the day and pre going to bed and if you find yourself not able to sleep or waking up you need to focus on not panicking and get a book to read or whatever can take your mind of the fact your not asleep.
All the advice you will get will always take you back to what I just advised you.
I’m still struggling as I find relaxing hard to do even when awake.Good luck.
9 months in and still struggling badly.
Last night i literally went to bed at 11.55pm and was shattered I did breathing techniques too and basically was ready to sleep but literally didn’t get to sleep until 4am, I do the processes I’m told to do to break up the anxiety and re focus myself on sleep ie listening to music, reading, putting the TV back on nothing works just wakes me up even more…
I only eventually sleep as I give up and with that my brain sleep.Seriously am I missing something here? as I’m dead the following day and its effecting my life now.
Anybody got any ideas or suggestions as getting very serious for me now.
Thanks.
What SR? And ACT?
Done CBT but didn’t really help.
My main issue is actually getting to sleep and when I finally get out of bed finding ways of me not getting more anxious resulting at times 2 hours kip…..
Life is a struggle at moment with no sleep so any help be great fully appreciated.Professional make it sound so simple…to correct your insomnia you need to not obsess or overnight the night sleep ahead but when you been struggling for so long then its easier said than done.
I found personally even when I managed to go to bed relaxed and cool headed and ready to sleep I still manage not to sleep straight away…its like it will never go away.
Then tablets are not the answer …nightmare all round.I really struggle finding something early hours to focus on to go back to sleep I just almost resign that I will not get any sleep whatsoever then I usually drift off about 3/4 am
Your not weird.
I do relate to a lot of what you are saying.
If I can’t sleep from the get go I start to panic and the anxiety kicks in…I do what i can to relax again and when I do feel myself drifting of I seem to be able to stop it and go back to square one….some nights I wouldn’t get any sleep and then the next day is painful.
It’s a painful circle to be in as pre bed you worry about not sleeping so then you don’t sleep but you can’t help it as you know you have to work the night day….what the answer is I haven’t found yet I’m still searching for it.
