Anxiety

2. 50% -70% of anxiety and
panic disorder sufferers
have reported having
night anxiety attacks as
well. You would think
that anxiety and stress
could at least give you a
break at night – but no.
Maybe you are worried
about losing your job,
your kids, your life.
3. You go to bed, but toss and turn for an
hour. Finally you get out of bed at 2
A.M with full-blown anxiety or panic
attack.
4. How You Become Afraid of the
Night
Your anxiety quickly spreads to other areas: a nine o’clock
doctor’s appointment, the urgent tasks you didn’t get to
accomplish today, and the presentation you’re going to
blow if you don’t get some sleep. Awful thoughts fill your
head:…”I’m going to be a wreck tomorrow”, “This thing
will drive me crazy”…”Am I going to die tonight?”
5. The Best Methods to Fight
Night Anxiety
1. Avoiding prescription
drugs – I have tried that
out – and it gave me a
little relief – but the goal
is to get through night
anxiety without creating
another problem –
chemical dependency.
Besides, these drugs will
never cure the condition,
only temporarily relieve
symptoms.
6. 2. Avoiding Caffeine,
nicotine or wine in
the evening- these
only made the problem
worse. I actually tried
living with or without
them and witnessed the
difference. These can
actually make your
attacks worse and
caffeine can actually
give you insomnia, thus
you can’t sleep at all.
7. 3. Drinking
valerian or
St.John’s wart
tea – actually
helped me
(sometimes)
prevent night
anxiety.
8. • 4. Avoiding bad night
habits – Don’t look at
the clock! Ever!
Turn the clock around to
face the wall, or hide it
in a drawer or under
the bed. I was
constantly checking the
time and that
reinforced my thought
that I’ll never get back
to sleep.
9. • Don’t stay in bed more than 15 minutes. I used
to do this to remind my brain that the bed is the
place to sleep – not the place for stressing, worrying
and obsessing. Night anxiety should not happen in
bed.
• Don’t go back to bed too soon. I only went back
to bed when I felt I could fall asleep right away. I
watched, on purpose, a boring TV show or read a
boring book.
• Before going to sleep, try to watch something
funny on TV. Never an action film or sad drama.
Something light, funny and even stupid. Give your
brain a break and a chance to escape from everyday
worries.
