it might help talking to your doctor or writing your thoughts down right before you go to bed leave the jounrnal by your bed and when anything comes to mind jot it down you might find a pattern.

Stardust, as a life-long insomniac and patient of many sleep specialists, I can assure you proper "sleep hygiene" is to not get into bed until you are tired. Otherwise you may begin to associate your bed with a place other than for sleep and sex--but a place to toss, turn, and worry. That's what all doctors have told me. Maybe you could do what I do: read a book or write out your thoughts (as tturtles suggests above) under a dim light in a comfortable chair. Once you feel drowsy, then you can get into bed. I find reading under a dim light most soothing. I try to read something light, entertaining, and not too mentally stimulating.

Hello, I'm sorry you have this difficulty and I share it too.
For me I make myself very tired and stay awake until I know I'm so tired I can't think anymore. When I lay down no thoughts can give me anxiety and make me not sleep. Also the last things I do before trying sleeping is things to give me happy thoughts, nice music, make art. I hope this can help you. Best wishes!

I have same thing. I agree with all that's written here so far. In addition my therapist recommended reading in bed then hit the pillow once your eyes start feeling heavy. It gets your mind on something less worrisome and allows you to wind down. Also again...I'm sure everyone is sick of me saying this...but calms forte helps www.calmsforte.com

Ebaby is right, calms forte is a blessing in my oponion. You can buy it a vitacost.com and it will save you time looking for it and also save you some money. It works. I take three pills.

i wake with anxiety and when I sleep and wake i am paralysed and have with will , will certain jerks to wake my physical body. I don't know what this condition is called.

Ive had that before,I cant move and then my body goes into spasams.

I can really relate to this.I have been told to read and listen to soothing music.It doesn't always help but sometimes when I think I am so tired I can't stay awake I go to bed and still toss and turn so I guess maybe if you could take something to relaxe it might be helpful.But try doing diffrent things and maybe just a nice warm bath will help sometimes.
