Insomnia And Anxiety? – Anxiety Panic

Often many Anxiety sufferers report having difficulties sleeping,
or wake up easily through-out the night

I was no exception to this rule And when I suffered with it, I was
living in a household of 7 others But here is a few tips you can try
that I found worked for me

Exercise – I don’t recommend doing this a few hours before you go to
bed, otherwise it will have the opposite effect But if you do this
earlier on towards the day, it will help burn up some of your energy

Don’t go to bed until you are actually tired

Read a book that you have read before Something light hearted, not
action or thriller Those will more then likely keep you awake I often
keep a magazine beside my bed that I’ve read before, and re-read one
of the articles

When lying in bed, think of something really boring And no, thinking
of your bills will not cut it that will likely in turn increase your
anxiety and keep you awake longer As odd as this may sound, I have
found thinking of tree leaves dead boring and drifts me off to the land of
nod (in other words sleep) quickly

Try to visualize something peaceful Take your mind into a land that
you love, whether that be out in the country, at the ocean, in the mountains
It’s the place you feel happiest and at peace Not energized and ready
for action

You should try avoiding Alcohol, Caffeine and Nicotine before going to
bed These are stimulates and will keep you awake longer
