Quick Thread re: sleep anxiety. And I swear to god if you try to give my advice it's an instant block. I've tried everything on this planet and seen every doctor ever. I'm just trying to explain what it feels like so it's understood. So! I knew I had to get up early today...

And not a quick appointment or anything. It's an all day thing (that I'm looking forward to!) but the second I put it on my calendar I felt an incredible sense of creeping dread: "i'm going to have to try and get a few hours of sleep before!"

That's it. A few hours. That's all I want. Not 8. Like, 3 will do. But the dread is so strong that I have to try and plan and make my body clock get right for it. Do every human thing I know to make me tired. I do all of them. Repeat. All of them.

I begin my "going to sleep" process around midnight cause my clock is already a bit off. And every single time I even got close to falling asleep, my brain screams at my body "NO DONT DO IT. WAKE THE FUCK UP RIGHT NOW OR YOU'LL DIE."

Yes. This is what it does. For no reason. The second I even start to lull off my brain will think of the worst things and JOLT my body into being awake, alert, and terrified. And it happens all night and i won't sleep.

Replying to @FilmCritHULK
I used to get this when I had an early flight. No fun.

The worst! It's why I purposefully pay more for evening flights! Or go around the horn. But yeah, it's exactly that feeling, but... all the time and for any reason. Usually I can only rest if I know there's NOTHING I have to do the next day by a certain time.
