I know how you feel. Worrying about sleeping makes it so much worse. I hate it. I hate how I feel when I don't get enough sleep. I always try to pack my day and keep busy so I am so tired I can't not sleep. Like yesterday, I worked until 4, exercised, ran errands, made dinner and then I was pooped. I took a bath and fell asleep at 9! Thats so early for me! I know running around like crazy isn't exactly good for you but I don't care if it is getting me to sleep. Just try not to nap, I find it makes it worse.
i know how you feel, i did that for a while to.
i just made sure i did 45minutes to an hour like brisk walking because that is supposed to relax you and help you to stay calm and eat healthily. sometimes if you have a bad diet and start eating well you feel a bit bad for a few days but after it's better and i sleep like a log from the extra excersise. but don't worry everyone goes through periods where they don't sleep :)
What I do when this happens is get out of the bed and go into another room and read, watch tv, anything to distract your mind. I have read in several books that to lay in bed and get fustrated because you cannot sleep is about the worse thing to do (i know I do it too)
The harder you try to force sleep to come the more it seems to stay away. You will be in for some long nights, we all have them, its fustrating, irritating and makes the next day horrible but we all go thru this from time to time.
Eventually sleep will come.
I know this is a stupid question because I know so many of you have troubles sleeping but I have to ask anyway. I've never had a problem with sleep until the last month or two. It's gotten to a point where when I think of sleep, I start to get anxious knowing that I'm going to lay there tossing and turning yet again. I am so worried about not getting enough sleep and having it affect my health! Does anyone else get to the point where you are just about to fall asleep and just stay in that moment for hours before actually getting to sleep? I am so frustrated! Any advice how to stop this? It's like I just lay there knowing that I am right on the edge of falling asleep but have the hardest time passing this point. Then I find myself panicking, sweating and feeling my heart race trying to force myself to sleep but can't get past that point. Argh!!
