Hello
Thanks for replying back to me, as I stated before, our fears are different. I’m afraid that I will die while sleeping, however, you’re afraid of not getting enough sleep, which I’m also afraid of sometimes. So I doubt a phone call from Martin will do me any good, I was really thinking about forking over the cash for his program. Nevertheless, my problem is phobia based. I will be sleeping at my apartment for the first time tonight after a month and a half of being at my mothers house and I’m hoping it actually helps me because I just fill phycially and mentally horrible, I think of sleep all day everyday and my sleep schedule is just shot to hell, up all night and sleep during the day. And when I wake up I don’t feel rested and I wake up a lot. I just really don’t know what to do at this point. I’m happy to hear that you get some days of good sleep and think that you should try staying at your place so that you can get used to sleeping in your own environment. That’s what I’m going to try and do, starting tonight.

You responded to my sleep phobia post. Thank you so much for the comment, I too, have been sleeping over at my moms house since this started in late March. I wanted to know what helps you when you are having anxiety and fear about sleeping? How have you be holding up? I hope you are getting some rest. My sleep is so fragmented and unrefreshing that I now fear it more because the actual act of sleeping does not make me feel good, I wake feeling wose then if I did not sleep at all. I just want this to be over with, I have been dealing with it in varying degrees for the past 15 years, I want this to end so that I can start living my life. I really want to apply to law school next year, however, this horrible sleep phobia is preventing me from taking the necessary steps. It’s also preventing me from traveling with my little girl which I want to do so badly. I have Disneyland gift cards in my wallet totaling a few hudrent dollers, however, I’m too physically and mentally off to enjoy such an adventure. I have been telling my daughter since she was 3-years-old that we will go, well, she’ll be 13-years-old this year. So I have put off Disney for 10 years because I’m terrified of sleep, I feel so ashamed of myself. Any advice that you can give is greatly appreciated.
