Something about my room I don't understand.

I've slept on my couch the past few nights because I can't sleep in my room lately. In there I'll wake up with panic attacks, have nightmares or even sleep paralysis episodes. I've yet to experience those things on the couch which is why I've been camping out there lately. Today I'd look down the hall towards my room and just feel incredibly nauseous and anxious like I'm afraid to go in there. Truthfully I only have been going in there during the day to get what I need then I swiftly exit. Eventually I'll have to try to make myself go back to sleeping in there because the couch is giving me back issues but I'm not sure if I'm ready to try again.

I think your body is right. There could be something harming you. Any chance for gas leak? Mold somewhere on the wall or something forgotten in a box (I once put moist walnuts into a glass dose and forgot about them and couldn't figure out why I felt like suffocating)
Something possibly triggering allergy?
Wrong mattress or pillow messing with your breathing?
Isn't there too warm in the room?

@CrazyMusicLover Mold could be a factor I live in an older apartment building maybe there's something in the walls.

@KingofBones1 That's definitely scary and I hope I never see things like that ever.

Clean out your room.
Re-arramge it.
Put a new energy vibe in there.
The power of the mind can do incredible things.
Look at your patterns before going to bed and differences in environment.
What do you do different in the lounge than what you do in the bedroom?
- it might be your orientation to the door
- it might be stimulus before bed (tv)
- it might be lighter or darker than your bedroom.
- is it the height of the bed, the mattress hardness?

+ burn incense
+ Get a night light (there are really cool ones
+ Get a white sound generator or sleep-buds to listen to ASMR.
+ Change your bedding type
+ Look up 'healthy sleep environments'.
+ Only you can observe and notice the differences and make the necessary changes conducive to your needs.

@NOS4R2 The mattress is admittedly old and crappy which probably makes things tougher than normal. I'll try rearranging things and doing some cleaning as a start to see what happens.

@separatetheheart if a new matress is too much, there are really good padded mattress covers that make a HUGE difference.
Sleep is one of those things that can be hijacked by the most minute things.
I know that what you immerse your mind in before bed is really important - so no horror movies or depressive shit 'k?😏
It could be bugs in your mattress, you might want to get one of those mattress protectors that zip closed, they will seal all the couties inside. They also make them for pillows.
Another one is having your cell phone near your bed. Hackers can gain access to it and hear when you go into a deep sleep, and then say things to you making you wake up. They may even be making monster noises. As soon as they hear you wake they stop so you don't know why you woke up and get into a bit of a panic.

I like Angel said try sleeping with light on, and I was going to add maybe put on some nature sounds/light music.
AngelUnforgiven · 51-55, F
Heres what worked for me stay on the couch until you are sleepy until you can barely keep your eyes open and then go to your room as soon as your head hits the pillow you should fall asleepb but leave a light on even if its a closet light. I have a lamp on a timer. Your mind will be too tired to focus on any sleep paralysis. I am telling you from experience.
separatetheheart · 31-35, MNew
@AngelUnforgiven I'll give that a try because this couch sleeping is jacking my back.

Can you go i there and redo the room? Maybe a difderent color or colors to brighten it up . Maybe change the light also.I hope things change for.you soon
separatetheheart · 31-35, MNew
@Eddiesolds I'm going to try to rearrange and declutter when I get off work. Hopefully that will help.
Eddiesolds · 61-69, M
@separatetheheart I hope so too. Have a wonderful day!!
Sleep paralysis is fun, right. I woke up couldn't move. My body was buzzing, I looked at a closed door and could see someone/something looking through the door at me.
Open the window, day and night. Ask the vibes to leave or leave you alone. Light it a candle to find its way out. Thank it and own your room.
separatetheheart · 31-35, MNew
@V00doo I hope nothing is in there but one thing for sure is that the sleep paralysis was persistent. I'd move to break it up and as soon as I got comfortable it would come back. To me that's a little weird.
@separatetheheart Yep. So ask it to leave.

Might want to get an EMF meter. Unshielded wiring or old TVs can do all that.
Or could be paranormal. Eliminate the obvious first.
DownTheStreet · 56-60, M
Maybe your bed / pillow combo is impacting your ability to breath easily?
CrazyMusicLover · 31-35
@DownTheStreet This was my first guess. Something wrong with the mattress or a pillow. The whole alignment of the spine when sleeping. Or something triggering allergy, maybe mold.
separatetheheart · 31-35, MNew
@DownTheStreet My mattress is old and not great. Pillows are ok but not great.
AngelUnforgiven · 51-55, F
Try sleeping in there with the lights on
Tumbleweed · F
Spirits in there
separatetheheart · 31-35, MNew
@Tumbleweed Let's hope not.
Tumbleweed · F
@separatetheheart That's honestly what it sounds like to me, love
smileylovesgaming · 31-35, F
I guess u could try a dream catcher just put it above your bed
Donotfolowme · 51-55, F
Oh wow!! Spooky
Did you put anything new in your room? Something given to you? Thrifted?
separatetheheart · 31-35, MNew
@Confined No it started before I got them.
@separatetheheart I second what voodoo said. Definitely open a window, light a candle or herbs and ask for clean space. Ask for protection. Clean your space, tidy, move things, just make sure the window is open.

Light a candle before bed.

Does anyone live above or below you?
separatetheheart · 31-35, MNew
@MarbleMarvel Yes there are people above me
Bklynbadboy12 · 31-35, M
Do you think it could be psychological or something really going on with that room
Bklynbadboy12 · 31-35, M
@separatetheheart Wow! Do you have a friend or something that can maybe stay a few nights with you and see if that helps
separatetheheart · 31-35, MNew
@Bklynbadboy12 I'm going to get my best friend to come check it out. He's super witchy so he might notice something I can't.
Bklynbadboy12 · 31-35, M
@separatetheheart Good because sometimes things are a little more scary when we are alone as opposed to when we have somebody with us
Confined · 56-60, M
Say prayers. Smudge the appartmenr.
