But i just cannot shake the feeling that i wont sleep come bedtime? And its a vicious cycle. Im so scared
Hi Larry,
Ive done the course but my fear is just so strong!!! I have sleepless night after sleepless night and sometimes i feel like giving up. Your post has given me strength. What was the main factors for changing your mindset in your journey?
Hey Martin,
Im still battling away on 1-2 hours sleep. Most nights it feels like i havent slept at all. I am a walking zombie.
I am so worried i am going to be like this forever. What if i cant let go of the struggle!!!!
Yes, I am happy not to counter thoughts and feelings… but I’m only averaging 1-2 hours sleep for the last week. My anxiety just takes over, however I can stay in bed and remain calm. I think of happy memories but I just cant sleep.
Do you think a sleep window could be helpful to build my sleep drive and overide my hyperarousal?
Yes, none of my attempts have lowered it. But what if it never goes away? Then sleep will be permanently blocked?
Is there a way to turn hyperarousal down? As soon as it gets dark my worry starts and then anxiety keeps going and going which os preventing restful sleep.
Ok so i have had 2 terrible nights in a row, last night no sleep. What if they just keep coming? What if my hyperarousal just keeps keeping me awake?
Thats whre my fear lies. If i know for sure that I can die from this or lose my mind i know I will be able to move through it.
I have big fears that i will end up in a mental ward if i dont sleep and then that drives my anxiety and it keeps perpetuating.
