The thing about anxiety is, you body says SLEEP and your mind just won’t let it happen.

What’s your trick to sleeping in panic mode. Exhausted but can’t sleep. Starving but i can’t eat. what do you do?

Oh - this is horrible!!!

All tensed up in your mind, and your body craving sleep.... And you just end up worse or with a migraine.

I used to go walking.... Them come home, some Chocolate and then bed using asmr.

But we all find our own.

@BoobooSnafu Chocolate and ASMR, I'm going to try that. Thanks!

BoobooSnafu

@Byron8by7 well - it works for me, Chocolate, and I'm not talking hot Chocolate, I.mean real Chocolate, prefrably dark, less sugar
Bit any seems good to me - it reacts with your digestion and creates "feel good" chemicals in your body.

One reason why paramedics give it to accident vitims when shock is wearing off

@BoobooSnafu Thanks - I love explanations such as this. I have some good dark chocolate, locally made, no less. And I'll have Maria from GentleWhispering fit me for a suit or give me a haircut or something. Nighties, when it comes time for that in your part of the world.🙂

A little self pampering can do wonders
Wishing you deep dreamless sleep and refreshing mornings.💜

Now, what that crap means in real.life is;

There are things in.life each of us finds soothimg -
Textures
Smells
Sights
Sounds
Tastes.

These videos usually deal with sounds.
And there is a HUGE variety.

Personally I've found i like RAIN, fire crackling and weirdly enough, the ambient sound of a spaceship.

My daughter loves rhe sound of things tapping on wood, thunderstorms, and the sound of a man talking.

But, I found i'm a bit of a sound snob - took me half a day to find the right rain sounds - apparently i like RAIN against a window sound.

Anywho, to cut a.long story short - check them.out, yu.might find something yu like.
The sounds help.engage the mind.

Sometimes may play 2 or three at the same time
Snowstorm+fire+ ticking clock.
