Dealing with Nighttime Anxiety

@MaggieLouise I do that too, since I found it easier to gts when I’m sad. But you should try some of the suggested recommended by others above ^^ and or some things I have mentioned as well. Hopefully some of those help :)

@CozyVibez Unfortunately melatonin does not work for me. However, I have tried taking “Tylenol PM” which was recommended by my doctor. Also, thanks for the new form of insomnia that I have now learned! :)

@galaxysedqe I have tried out what you said as far as comfort stuffed animals and weighted/fluffy blankets. And they’ve helped out a lot so thank you! :)

@Moss_walls I was talking to my doctor, but bc I don’t put enough nutrition in my body, she recommended that I don’t get prescribed until I do so. And you’re right, the anxiety medication I feel for me, doesn’t work as I hope they’d do. But for you, I’m glad they’re getting better and that you’re finally able to get some sleep. If you have the same problems later down the line, try some of the ideas that people or what I recommended to others in the comments above. :)

@MonicaRoze Before it’s too late, try some of the tips that other people have been giving me. It’s not too late to start, so don’t be afraid. Try either listening to soft music, and or putting a playlist together. Try reading a boring book that’ll make you get tired quicker. Try sleeping with a comfort stuffed animal and or blanket. And or you could download apps like Calm or Tide that has landscape sounds like someone mentioned above. I like listening to rain sounds usually, since when it’s raining & bleak outside, your body gets more tired. Hopefully that helps :)

@Quari Thank you! I have tried going to sleep earlier, and or being in bed at a reasonable time. I always felt tired when it was time to be productive throughout my day, and up thinking when it’s time to gts. But I have been sleeping with a weighted and or fluffy blanket to help put me to sleep, which has been helping :)

@Jas102 Thank you! I had Calm for sometime, and it’s helped. But like I mentioned above ^^, it’s been harder to fall asleep bc of stress. Although, another app I like to use is Tide

@welpe I have tried this and it helped for a little. But then I think the reason I couldn’t sleep while in college was bc of constant overthinking and stress. But recently, I’ve done this & it’s been helping. And or listening to my soft music I like. Thank you :)

@welpe "calming nature sounds...and my weighted blanket" Agree 💯

@CinderLorel I was thinking of going on sleeping meds but I also don’t put enough nutrition in my body. I sometimes go days without eating and bc I’m an athlete, I know that’s bad. But it’s like sometimes I just don’t have the appetite to eat. But again, something I found helpful recently, is making a playlist of soft music you like, and it’s been helping :)
