Yes Tess! I now kinda know the feeling! I am a musician, not needing to get up for a 9 to 5 job. Perhaps that’s what initially contributed to this insomnia. On the other hand, this might work in my favour now. While I WILL have to restrict my sleep time in the morning, I do feel that I could “afford” to be a little slow in case I do end up enjoy my wakefulness too much the night before! The fear is alway that I will have to live with this insomnia for the rest of my life! From your story, it seems that as long as we are in the right mind set, this will NOT be the case! Thank you Tess and please send my best to your husband too!
Thank you Tess and Chee! Last night, I basically just got so fed up with this crazy anxiety, I gave up! Meaning I said to myself that I WILL stay awake! Then, I actually fell asleep… had 3.5 hrs first, then a couple hours later. Thanks guys for the advice, I know the road is still long ahead, but I am hopeful! I think I really just HAVE to let it go! Not worrying about our health and body so much!
I have had insomnia for about three months now. Total sleep anxiety, not sure how to deal with it now. I am 47 now and have been sleep well in my last 46 years. This is so sudden and I really feel out of control. Once my eyes are closed, I feel anxiety, and my heart rate is beating super fast. Of course, no matter how tired I am, sleep is out of window! Had a health check this week, everything is fine. But How do I deal with the sleep anxiety, Please help!
