Another day in a row. Cant sleep.

Mind is racing
Bed is just uncomfortable
My skin is irritated and confused.
Im all clamy
Cant decide if im too hot or too cold
Im just frustrated with my state of life and its elevating my heart rate enough that im wide awake.

Melatonin helps.

@assemblingaknob Yes. My boyfriend has melatonin pills and when he's out alcohol has similar effect.

I eat and drink things that makes my body produce natural melatonin. Also an option.

I have many sleepless nights too. I guess some of it's due to stress, and the rest, I'm not sure .... Wish I had advice for you, but if I did, I'd be getting sleep too.!

Most things start with a small step. A few minutes meditation, just concentrating on the breath as it flows in and out. Your'll notice just how untrained your mind is, how it wanders, how so many unwilled thoughts pop into the mind. But just be still and observe. Let them go.

@SW-User this is all true and i have been attempting this. Im just overwhelmed from my thoughts and cant turn it off. Ptsd is insanity. I did a chakra meditation before bed, i did a 1hr guided meditation for sleep. I also pictured a black room and thought "dont think" over and over. Its now 3am. I got the anxiety down to some what manageable and im hoping il eventually pass out from exhaustion. But i also have to be at work for 9am.

@GuyWithOpinions Hi, truly, I don't speak from any so called heights of attainment. I struggle. I really do. I just have a simple trust/faith that all will be well.

All the best to you. Sincerely. Stay strong.

A glass of rum an hour before bed sometimes helps me sleep.

@Castenmas i dont drink alcohol. It affects my ptsd.

@GuyWithOpinions My boyfriend with PTSD takes one glass to help his sleep. He gets tired and calm. Not drunk or anything. Try it.
