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.
Does anyone take sleeping aids to help with sleep? Does it affect your OCD?
So recently I made a post about having the theme of fear of psychosis and schizophrenia which has led to the fear of not getting sleep and being scared Iāll go crazy and start hallucinating from the lack of sleep. Last night I was able to sleep some hours after not being able to properly sleep for 4 nights (like I actually dreamt) but of course when I woke up I got the the thought āwhat if you didnāt sleep and you think you didā āwhat if youāre just hallucinating itā it made me instantly sick to my stomach! Of course I know I slept but these thoughts just get crazier everyday making me feel like Iām actually crazy. I just want to cry. Itās a constant battle everyday and Iām just so tired. Iāve never had these thoughts before. If anyone has gone through this please tell me what helped you. I miss getting home and looking forward to sleeping not being scared I wonāt. And I miss just living my life and not having thoughts questioning if itās my reality or not. Please I could really use some advice.
I have been having horrible anxiety and canāt sleep or rest. Do any have suggestions for getting rest while dealing with this.
