Im having a anxiety episode and last night i was in bed at 10pm i actually didnt fall asleep untill 5am was awake again by 9. All im thinking today is im not gonna be Able to sleep again tonight and i will be realy tired again or all the time

It's called sleep anxiety. Do not take drugs for this! Instead, get massages, take epsom salt baths and take magnesium at 9pm. Yesterday, I knew that I was not going to be able to sleep so I didn't bother to try. I planned to watch 3 movies and then complete some homework. By 2am, I was asleep! This was very strange because I have severe sleep issues. By trying to stay awake, I got sleepy!

I know exactly what your feeling as you set yourself up for another bad night. Hope this helps http://crusader.synthasite.com i know how hard it is to switch thoughts off. As long as you rest your body then don't worry to much about the sleep. Although it makes for a difficult day it's surprising how little you can manage on

Its realy frustrating im dreding going to bed in a hour or so because i no im

NOT going to sleep

Do not even try to sleep. Last night I just told myself I'm gonna stay up so I have a chance to sleep tomorrow night, and I ended up actually sleeping well! Setup 3 movies to watch, setup some white noise, eat carbs, get comfortable. You may get lucky and drift off.

Hi Aimee. If you’re not tired then don’t go to bed. First rule about insomnia is don’t go to bed until you’re tired. Avoid stimulating activities. Do some reading (not a kindle), colouring, play an instrument, anything that doesn’t involve looking at a screen. If you’re in bed for 20 minutes and still awake then get up and repeat. Lying in bed awake and not tired is the worst thing you can do. Don’t even go into your bed until you intend on sleeping.  You need to reset your brain with regards to sleep hygiene. I do the 20 minute thing and it works for me every time.

Hi Tanya. I find your advice interesting. May I ask a question.

Do you have to get up early for work 5 days a week.

Genuine reason for asking thanks
