I've been diagnosed with anxiety, depression, and PTSD, so I've always kinda had trouble sleeping and even had sleep paralysis. I thought I was having a bad reaction to my meds NEW Then brain will do what it does best at night - to fall asleep, rest and repair the body without creating such anxiety thoughts. Most of the sedatives are addictive and they stop acting the same at the same dosage. Some of the people do 'immediate desensitization' by taking a sedative pill but this does not resolve the problem. The only logical way of resolving this problem is desensitization to the trigger. It's like to expect to fall asleep while there is a lion in the room. For some reason the act of falling asleep in this case is seen as danger (triggers anxiety) and the mind cannot shift and does not allow the brain to 'shut off'. Mind becomes aware of what it considers a danger. So this sleeping fixation sounds like anxiety disorder, very much like OCD. This is very similar to somatic OCD where people become aware of bodily automatic functions like breathing or blinking and they cannot shift their awareness of them.

There’s different stages of sleep, and pre-sleep (the phase where you are restless, tossing and turning, etc.) is the phase in which you are talking about. Sleep is a gradual process that happens during a lengthy timespan, NOT all at once. And if you're not like me and don't easily fall into a coma as soon as your head hits your pillow you might want to ask the local pharmacy (or your doctor if you need a perscription) for some sleepig pills.Įven if I don't have this every night and only under circumstances I know it's not the most pleasant if not a downright scary experience, so I can only hope you've either already found a way of solving this or that my analysation is able to help you.Īnyway, good luck with it my fellow Amsterdammer ) It may be simplest if you thus avoid these tips.
