Does it worry you when you can’t SLEEP?

Oh, I definitely knwo what you mean, Liyan..... In fact, just last night I could not sleep at all. Every time I thought I might be getting sleepy, I'd wake up because I started thinking about it! It's a very frustrating and "alone" feeling. Like you're the only person on the planet or something. It's simple anxiety, what we're dealing with. The feeling that something bad is going to happen. Unfortunately, it's very common, so at least we know we're not alone. I try to do some deep breathing exersizes and clear my mind of anything that may bring anxiety. I think of the beach or a place where I feel warm and calm. Try these thoughts and see if they can relax you! I've also noticed that when I excersize, it makes a world of difference! Get out and take a jog! You'll be very sleepy at night, that's for sure ;)

Yes I do but I fight all bad worries I thought that night. I rather count sheep or read a books for I will not think of bad things. Sometimes I'm worried to that I f I won't sleep I will sufered migraine tomorrow and I have to do many things in my household chores.

I have a hard time going to sleep when my husband is away. I haven't been sleeping too much over the last couple of weeks but I'm sure when he comes back in August things will be back to normal. When I am also anxious about family members, if I hear bad news, or worried about something, then I can't sleep either. I end up getting out of bed either to watch tv, read a book or like what I did last night, jump on mylot. Sometimes coming on here makes me feel a little relieved, i don't know why but it does!

No. It don’t worry when I cant sleep some days. Because I think its natural for all the humans being to miss some regular habits some days. It might be because of some irregularities in the body on that day, which may get automatically fixed up in the few days. I do worry only when I face the same problem continuously for many days.

Now that I'm far I really can't sleep at night no matter how I tried. But I got what you mean.There are times when you cannot sleep and sometimes it's connected to something. I call it instincts or intuition unto something that we cannot tell. Same as you it worries me sometimes. But what I do is pray for that is our only weapon against whatever not so good things that might happens.

yeah it always happen to me i have sleeping problems and i think i've been thinking and worrying to much about everything that's why whenever im in bed and try to get some sleep i just cant until the sun is rising..just try not to worry so much and always think positive im sure it will help that's what im doin now:-)

It worries me because I know I'm going to be miserable the next day if I can't sleep, lol! I have 3 kids and know that they wont let me sleep in or nap throughout the day and I know i will be very grumpy without my sleep!

I don't worry when I can't sleep. Worrying only makes it worse. If I find I can't sleep, I get up and do something constructive. Sooner or later I'll get tired and fall asleep. If I don't, then I fall asleep the following night. Since I don't have to fly an airplane or drive a bus load of kids to and from school, my being tired is the only side effect of not getting enough sleep. I've survived many a sleepless night when my kids were small and I found that it wasn't fatal.

well though i am not like you in that respect, it does always worry me at night that i wont sleep well (i typically dont get a good nights rest) and worry about how i will function at work the next day.

I get like that when I can't sleep and I don't know why that is. If I'm nervous, or full of caffeine I atleast know why I can't relax, but when it's just any other night... that scares me a little bit. Not sleeping makes me worry about things that really isn't a problem, just because I can't relax.
