I’m doing much better now. When I am having trouble sleeping, it’s difficult to get out of bed as our house is very small and my husband sleeps on a recliner in our living room due to some health issues. Therefore, I would have nowhere to go. I have had a good deal of success staying in bed and reminding myself that it’s ok and doing relaxation exercises. Thank you for your advise and help. This site has been very supportive and helpful.
Typically I am half falling asleep while watching TV between 9 to 10. I usually need to force myself to stay awake until 10, but once I get to the bed, the anxiety hits of what if I don’t fall asleep…. I truly cause it all myself with anxiety. I then obsess all day over it. I think I would do better to force myself up longer, I may sleep more soundly. Your advise has been right on as well as your description of what I go thru. Thank you.
I usually head to bed about 10, which is when I get sleepy. Usually up between 530 to 6 to go to gym. I struggle falling to sleep. If I fall asleep, I can wake up during night, but go back to sleep because I tell myself I have already gotten some sleep so I tend not to worry about it as much, sounds crazy right? If I do not fall asleep with about 45 min to an hour, I start to worry that I will not fall asleep at all… And so it begins. I try to stay in bed if I can’t sleep, only because we have a very small house, my husband tends to sleep in the living room, so there is really no place for me to go until I feel sleepy, so I try and do relaxation exercises and at least rest my body.
I hear ya. I am driving my husband and a couple friends crazy. Had myself being placed in a mental hospital last night. I do NOT do well with sleep deprivation. Good luck to you tonight.
I don’t have a solution list, only that I can sympathize with you. Was fine for 20 yrs, took some Sudafed, 2 bad nights and now about a week with one night sleep… Because of Tylenol PM, tho I feel like crap because of lag from it. I am trying deep breathing exercises, which I do about 4 times daily and at night upon bedtime. Hoping I can get back to where I was soon. Just know your not alone, basically why I joined this forum, to know and understand I am not alone, sometimes just that helps to ease the mind.
