Unable to sleep
Posted , 9 users are following.
So here I am for the second time this week completely knackered but can't go to sleep. Keep dropping off but then waking with a jolt! Feelings of fear that something is wrong but heart rate normal and not feeling ill as such! So annoying as I have to be at work in the morning.
If this happens to others what do you do?

Hi Paula
You are not alone! The past week I keep waking up around 3 am every night, and can't go back to sleep. I had this happened a year ago so I would get my book till I get tired and go back to sleep around 4:30am...I think is the weird dreams that I've been having that waking me up startled and fearful! I will go back to my cup of chamomile tea it really helps me to sleep.

For the last two nights i have been waking at 4.00am due to having very weird dreams and then not going back to sleep till 5.00am.
Is the dreaming part of the perimenopause too....

Do you feel that scary fear feeling in the upper stomach and chest. If so i'm been getting it every night so far for 4 weeks and off and on throughout the day!

I hate waking up with a jolt. I used to be such a great sleeper. Sometimes it's hard to go back to sleep because I feel panicky. Sometimes I'll get on here and read the forum to know I am not alone. I try to clear my head, think positive thoughts, sometimes listen to a guided meditation.

I notice for me is always during or right after my period! Last night wanted to cry! I moved from room to room and couldn't sleep! Around 4 am finally slept for a few hours!. It's so depressing!
