Sleep
Has any1 had intrusive thoughts about sleeping and why we sleep? I love sleeping and taking naps but I get thoughts like your going to forget how to sleep and I'm like what? That makes no sense

I’ve had something similar, but for me it was about blinking. I got scared that I might forget how to do it, even though it didn’t make sense. OCD can make us fixate on things that seem random, like how we sleep, and it tries to convince us it’s a big deal. It’s just OCD twisting things, it doesn’t mean anything, even if it feels real.
