I get aleep 3 hours a night that too I only see dreams in those 3 hours. Why?

Posted , 4 users are following.

Its been a week, I dont get sleep more than 3 hours night. I go to bed at 11 PM, but sleep comes at about 5 AM. And I wake up at 8 AM. For these 3 hours, when I am sleeping I actually see only dreams. I dont take any sleep medications, neither do I want to. I dont have any stress in life. Just that I have built this "sleep anxiety" that I can never get sleep again. What to do? Why do I only dream in sleep?

    What is it that you fear? Deal with the source of your anxiety and your sleep shall be restored, in my opinion.

      There is nothing I fear. I just have this anxiety the moment I hit the bed - "That I wont get sleep" and hence I enter this viscious cycle.

    It is pollen season and mold season. This is how i react to allergies. I like those dreams actually. Otherwise I would not even know that I slept at all.

    I also have sleep problem but I noticed it mostly due to stomach issue like gas acidity ..I reduced on oily and spicy food and get good night sleep and take ajwain and aloe vera juice twice a day..I have bit anxiety also have started some yoga and stretching exercise and started homoepathy medicine to reduce anxiety and provide calming and relaxation to mind.that way get 8 hours sleep now..
