Too scared at night to go to sleep?!
Question: Too scared at night to go to sleep!?
I can't sleep at night for a few reasons: I'm scared that someone might break in and hurt us (by us I mean myself and my boyfriend, we live together, and I still lose sleep cuz im so scared) I read somewhere that every 15 seconds a house gets broken in to!. We have 3 cats (2 grown 1 baby) and they make alot of noise at night so with any little sound I'm like "WHATS THAT!?" and make my bf check, he knows is just the cats but does it anyways to make me feel better!. I dont eat before I sleep, cuz I heard that can make you be scared or loose sleep!. I dont watch T!.V!. And now its gotten so bad that I'm starting to see things!. It worse when its pitch black! I dont know what to do!. I get so scared sometimes I start to cry!. Im 23 years old and too old for this crap!. My boyfriend does everything he can to assure me we're safe but I just cant get through it!. And if I dont pray for God to get us through the night safely, I wont sleep all night!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

First things first - please see your doctor and talk about all these fears whether they are real or imaginery!. Write them down so you do not forget what it is you wish to talk about!.
You do not live alone and you are blessed to have such a caring boyfriend!. He must be a very special person and he clearly cares very much about you!.
Our bodies need rest and restful sleep in order to function properly!. Because you are not sleeping, your brain is working overtime and so it is your imagination is working overtime too!.
When it comes to bedtime, have a warm and relaxing bath with lots of smellies in the water!. Have a warm drink that is free from caffine such as camomile or if you don't like this and it is an acquired taste, add a teaspoon of honey!. Depending on what your GP suggests or prescribes, go to the health food shop and ask for something like Quiet Life or Kalms (I think it is)!. Ask for guidance from one of the assistants - they have a wealth of knowledge under their belts and may even be able to recommend something even better!.
Take your time over bedtime!. Create an atmosphere that is restful and quiet!. Listen to some soothing music, think lovely thoughts and throw away all these fears!. Have a low wattage bulb in a lamp so you do not have to sleep in the dark!. Breathe deeply and let it out slowly!.
These are only ideas that come to mind as I write!. Tell yourself you are perfectly safe and if you are honest with yourself, you know you are!.
I do wish you well!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Definitly talk with a counselor about how you're feeling!. Comfort at home is vital and it is almost impossible to function without enough sleep!. Talk to your doctor about getting you on a relaxant before bed or something, and definitly talk to a counselor!.
