Do you have difficulty sleeping when your anxious?

[jennifer_bloom]

I have a zoom group every Thursday and I used to have difficulty sleeping every Wednesday night, I don’t know if it’s related but it might be, my friend could not sleep the night before her graduation ceremony because she was so excited about it and her classmates who were graduating the same day, could not sleep either, so I wonder if this is common for others, I never had any issues until my mid 30s.

I have trouble sleeping every day lol. But umm. I don't know about anxious. I've never been anxious apart from when I slept outside once I was anxious someone who likes to kill homeless would bash my head with a hammer... I couldn't sleep then cos it's all I was thinking about

Not really. While I have several genetic conditions, falling asleep is not one of them.
Check with your doc - maybe a small dose of Melatonin can help. I've been using it to shift my bedtime a bit : this last time change was a real lu-lu.

Thanks for the MHO.

I have nightmares, claw myself in my sleep (nervous scratching) or wake up screaming like hell. Or a combination. Of the three.


That’s assuming I actually get to sleep.


I only slept four hours last night before two of those three things happened

Yes especially when you know your next workday is going to suck.

Yes, when something different is happening I become anxious and sleep does not happen.

Boy do I ever. It’s the worst when I’m worried about one of my kids. Especially when I can’t just resolve the problem quickly.
