Hi MJ,

I am sorry that you have had such trouble sleeping. I know how truly miserable that can be.

I usually find that after a couple of restless nights, that I get relief and sleep really well the next one...all the way through, and wake up feeling refreshed.

I sincerely hope that this is your experience tonight!

If however things don't get better...there are quite a few things that you can consider for getting the sleep that you need...both natural, and with the help of an Rx.

Keep us posted and let us know if you would like any suggestions...

...but here's hoping that tonight is the turn around that you need!

Sorry to hear about what you're going through. I hope you can find some relief soon!

Try some deep breathing... Some times that alone helps me.

Hi

Nice to meet you but sorry to read you are having trouble sleeping and having anxiety I can really relate to this at the moment as my sleep is the worst it has been for years I am getting about 2hrs a night if I'm lucky. The problem with not getting sleep is that it has a knock on effect to how we are feeling mentally and I find that lack of sleep mean my anxiety is worse.

I would recommend that you go and speak with your doctor about this as there are things that can help aid sleep. Have you considered doing any talking therapies such as CBT? These have great success in helping people deal with their anxiety better, Just a suggestion.

Keep posting here and let us know how you are doing we are here to support you.

Yes, your doctor can help with a prescription if think you want and need help, get an appointment set up to talk about that possibility.

There are also some good self-help ideas to look into as well...

*Melatonin is a natual suppliment that supports our circadian rhythym and is taken a couple of hours before bedtime.

*L-Theanine is also a suppliment with relaxing qualities.

*Sound Wave Therapy/Binaural Beats. This can be found on youtube, or as an app. It induces theta waves (sleep state) in the brain.

Other things like exercise, (but not too close to bedtime) turning off backlit devices such as computers/phones, t.v., ect...at least an hour before trying to sleep, meditation and progressive muscle relaxation all help.:)

Wishing you rest and peace!
