I have had this problem for 2 years where when I try to sleep my heart beats faster and I feel I don't go into the deep stage of sleep.all through the night my mind is going over the things I do during the day I am asleep but my mind does not switch off

    Ruminating over daily activities can keep anyone awake. There are OTC supplements that work for some. It's best to check with your doctor.

    i have similar problems illness in family member causes worth.

     I start two hours ahead by calming down watching tv with sun glasses to fade out bright light and take OTC. Supplements. 

    It it becomes a routine.

    your sleep patterns also have heart beating faster this may be due to several issues. Ck with your doc , a sleep study can help identify why your heart beats faster and perhaps a Cpap may be something needed. 

    May you find a better quality of sleep soon.

    Hi Twinkle14

    I keep a notebook by my bed. Everytime I think of something (anything at all) it goes in the notebook...then I clear my mind again. There's some nights I never write in it and other i write loads. Then I tell myself it's written down so I don't need to remember it and there's nothing I can do about it tonight. Takes practise though! Have you tried this?

    HI Twinkle just checking in with you. How are your sleeping patterns?

    have you had a chance to check back in with the sleep study clinic?
