Any tips for getting to sleep

[petrified]

Every night about this time my mind takes over and I convince myself if I go to sleep I will die. Any one got any advice I would do anything for a good nights sleep, I'm exhausted. I no it's my anxiety symptoms and probably nothing serious but I'm still terrified of sleep ever night. Any help is greatly appreciated

I take ZMA about an hour before going to bed. That has helped me fall asleep and sleep through the night without waking up. Its magnesium, zinc and b6 but I don't take the b6 anymore.

Ah thanks do you have to get them prescribed or fan you buy them online :-)

I buy my magnesium and zinc from the grocery store. They're pretty cheap too. If you don't have any problems with B vitamins then you should get that too. At least I have noticed way better sleeping patterns after starting to take them!

I take a quarter of melatonin or ativan(whole) every night at 9 pm.

Tylenol PM has been working for me recently.

Thanks everyone I tried the magnesium and it's helping a little :-)

Try Natural Calm Magnesium. Its realllll good stuff. Magnesium Oxide is not very good magnesium at all which is what you find in most stores. The difference will be huge. Melatonin to fall asleep and Natural Calm to stay asleep and you should be good.

I take a variety of different pills including Tylenol nighttime ,Ativan,and quarter of melanton.I find the Ativan and Tylenol nighttime work the best.

Why do you think sleeping will make you die? When that feeling comes just recognize it for what it is, just your adrenaline playing tricks with you. It will go away eventually if you wait it out.

Meditation has really helped me. I have an app on my phone that has a "bedtime meditation." It talks you through relaxing your whole body and lifts serotonin and dopamine levels so you feel relaxed. Give it a try.:)

Thanks what is the app called? It's just my fear at the minute I heard someone died through the night so I convinced it will happen to me plus feeling poorly at the min so that's adding to my anxiety :-/

It's just anxiety. Remember that. You are perfectly safe:) and if you have an iPhone, look up Guided Meditation and you can choose the app that suits you best:)

Thanks I will have a look in the App Store :-) I'm struggling today. I had a good sleep last night but now feel worse for it my anxiety is through the roof today. I'm fed up :-(
