Before Bed Worries

Hey there,

Yes, this is primarily what happens to me, right around bed time, i feel some pain in my stomach and chest area and this causes me to feel like i have a health issue or worse. Im afraid to sleep because i worry ill stop breathing but things end up being fine in the morning, this has been an ongoing issue for me and im glad im not the only one that has experienced this.

I am having actually problem to fall asleep due to worrying and i know i will be down the next day. all is happening nights before working, when i have vacation it is better (i am sad but not sleepless). I actually do have the situation, while sleeping that i realize i am still awake and thinking. and i have also the situations that i wake up on stopped breathing. this is happening when i am feeling guillyy for something and feeling is really bad when you wake up on your stopped breathing and then i just kind of cannot breath as my breath stopped after breathe in but i cannot breath out and breath in also does not work.

ino need to worry, i think, if you should have that, you already have experienced.

secondly, when i have this it is scary, but at least i know i was sleeping for some time....

What types of things do you think about prior to bedtime?

@Mshadows Hi there, I used to feel like you some time ago, I can understand you, the feeling is horrible but I found a solution that can be work on you. First of all, you have to identify this thinkings and let them pass, only observe the, like if they´re clouds on the sky, try to not hook you up, it´s difficult, I know, but with practice you will be able to do it. Another way is to focus in your breath, doing this you are focalizing in the moment present, and no matter how many times your minds go back to the thinkings, you can gently focus back on the present moment, on your breathing.

I hope it works for u.
