Does anyone feel more anxious in the night? i don't know why i am, but im scared of going to bed cause i think something is going to happen to me. i don't get off to sleep very well anyway. I keep waking up and im constantly checking my breathing.

do you have nightmares? or associate something that happened to you with nighttime? if so, that might explain the extra anxiety before bed...

I am the same way at night....especially lately. It started because I was having insomnia and that made me more anxious...it became a cycle.

Yes. I am very anxious in the evening. I don't think something is going to happen to me. I just have all of this anxiety and I cannot sleep.

I definitely feel that way at night when I'm struggling with anxiety. When it starts to get dusk I would get this feeling of dread. No fun at all!!! Everything always seems worse at night. You are not alone!! (((HUGS)))

Normally at the end of the day, our anxieties have accumulated, so we are supra-scared to sleep for the fear of dying (or other issues,Take medicines at night and try some therapys to regress the problem, I live in the bush and its helped me alot.Its sooo quiet.

It took me years to figure out why I dreaded 'bed time'. For me it was because of the 'quiet'. There are no distractions, background noise, kids yowling, nada. I tried to read to fall asleep, veg on the couch with tv, etc. I have a relaxation tape that always helps me to calm both body and mind before nodding off:)

Yeah had it last night big time. I get so anxious about my breathing I can't go to sleep because I think I'll stop breathing. I use a herbal remedy called Bach, it comes in a little bottle and you just put a few drops on your tongue and it relaxs you. Works for me anyhow, you can buy it in Boots or holland and barratt.

Not being able to sleep or stay asllep is part of deppression and anxiety.
Unfortuanatly its a visious cycle the more you dont sleep the more the anxiety feeds off of that.
Night time and mornings can be the worst times of day for me.

I also feel more anxious at night... in fact I'm hardly ever anxious in the morning. So it really helps me to just tell myself not to think about stuff at night... whatever the issue is it will wait till the morning when I feel better and can think clearly. Hope this helps.

I've never heard of "bach" spray. Where do you get that?

Soft relaxing music helps me to.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
