Sleep Issues
Anybody else have sleep issues? What helps you fall/stay asleep?
Anybody else have sleep issues? What helps you fall/stay asleep?
Sometimes my own study lectures make me fall asleep, calming music does help but not as much as the lectures, and also some hot milk can calm down. And keeping our eyes away from the phone can too
Yes I have sleep issues! Magnesium and B vitamins have helped me a lot, they work slow but they help. I struggle to fall asleep and stay asleep longer than 1-2 hrs. Sometimes having a podcast in the background helps to not focus on the intrusive thoughts.
ASMR or harry potter audiobooks! anything that keeps my mind off the fact i canāt sleep makes it easier to actually fall asleep
lately iāve been doing adult colouring books which actually really helps and distracts my brain and at the same time listening to sleep music like delta waves for sleep to calm my brain. Also if you havenāt tried already could try meditation and breath work. There is a good free app called insight timer for that and you can also get ones on youtube
So supplement wise: Iād recommend a magnesium glycinate tablet, and a sleep product from conteh sports called supreme sleep! Just be aware that I donāt think you can have supreme sleep and anti depressants
Same. Im going to try a magnesium supplement. I love adult coloring books.
It started when I became an adult, and started receiving my mental health diagnosis. I hyper fixated on each and every action I did and how it could be related to my diagnosisās. It then lead to fixation to my physical health ā making appointments and seeing every specialist I can to rule out every possibility. I currently have been suffering with obstructive sleep. I woke up the past few days with severe pain from the lack of sleep whilst believing I was oversleeping. Luckily my fit watch tracks my sleep cycle and it turns out I am not receiving any sleep. I had an extreme panic attack ā bursting into tears on the phone with my mom wondering what this case might be. She told me it could be sleep apnea and that a simple sleep study could figure this out. However, knowing my family history I made appointments to every specialist I can to make sure it is nothing serious. The unknown of health can be scary to me. Watching my mother suffer with her physical health chronically since I was a child lead me to be very conscious and aware of how my body is functioning. This morning was one of the worst moments of physical pain. I should just take one step at a time with the sleep doctor instead of taking measures to see every specialist that could pertain with this issue. However, that is very hard to me. I donāt want to ever wake up in the pain I was this morning. Does anyone else suffer with health-related OCD? And if so, how do you find a sense of ease during moments like I expressed?
Iāve noticed this new obsession with having to pee right before bed, like even if I have to pee a little I canāt fall asleep until my bladder is completely empty. Anyone else have a problem like this or knows how to cope?
Does anyone else's OCD get worse when you haven't slept well? I haven't been sleeping well since this weekend and my OCD and anxiety is just making me feel super down. Does anyone else have this problem?
