you are not alone, i feel the same way, always scared to go to sleep

When I can not sleep, I usually watch television or I take a long hot bath to relax me. I also read and reading makes me sleeping. There are several ways to get some rest. I also clean the house real good and when my house is clean, I can relax and get the proper rest. When I am really nervous I sleep with the light on.

Whats your worry..???

Night time... things always seem worse... new day new start. try huming..takes your mind of things and makes you sleepy...good luck..

I think reading and watching tv are both good ways to get sleepy. You can just fall asleep in front of the tv. I also sleep with earplugs so I don't wake up at the sound of my husband breathing/snoring or any other little sounds in the house that might wake me up. It took some getting used to, but I really can't sleep without them now.

What really helped me sleep better was to change my days. I stopped running 100 miles an hour and putting pressure on myself, lowered my caffeine intake and made sure to take at least 10 min a day to sit and relax. I dont watch stressful tv shows before bed cause this ups your adrenaline and makes it hard to sleep. Lowering the lights an hour before bed puts your body in a ready to sleep mode. When stressful thoughts came across my mind in bed I would turn on a sound machine that made ocean sounds and that helped. Best wishes to you

Reading before I go to bed helps me sleep. Better than watching TV (for me anyway) because TV seems to stimulate my anxiety. Oh... and try earplugs if your husband's snoring is keeping you up. :)
